Beautiful Blown Glass

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

Here at the South Texas coast, the light is fantastic.  Being in the lower latitudes, the sun's rays are more direct, and they make everything look brighter.  The play of the sun on the water is gorgeous, and we love our shiny glass art objects, to continue the vision indoors.  Bring one home, place it near a window, and watch it glow!

Wonderful Watercolor!

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

Come see our gallery of original art to add a touch of beauty to your walls.  We have a set of 5 framed marine life paintings by well-known artist, Tracy Taylor.  According to the Jim Warren Studios website,

Taylor's work invites viewers to share [her] sense of lighthearted enjoyment.  She is perhaps best known for her exuberant, expressive paintings of tropical fish...  Tracy Taylor captures the vitality of the undersea world and the personality of its denizens--allowing collectors to experience them both without getting wet.

You can read more about Tracy Taylor and see more examples of her work here.
