The New Times ran a feature showing some of the work on exhibit, so we drove out to the coast for the day and sauntered in. The gallery is refurbished since days of old, and features a nice exhibit space on the first floor, while a second large art gallery is somewhat hidden up a set of stairs. The bird drawings paintings, and prints were uniquely evocative of our central coast area and the works also drew upon the beautiful surrounding environment. Since January and February are primo "Birders" months, and Morro Bay now has an ongoing Birders Festival each year, this was a perfect match. We enjoyed the display and the ceramics and jewelry that the upstairs had. We will return to more shows in this gallery.

I forget how truly lovely the garden gallery is. It's more than a nursery because the beautiful…read moremerchandise inside is inspirational for all your table setting and home decorating. We went by the other day on a foggy day. It was shortly before Christmas and we wandered around the beautiful rooms to admire the housewares. The building is very inviting to begin with because it's wood and has brick flooring throughout. Everything is displayed artistically with lots of space and in a manner that you might use it in your own home, it's like walking from one beautiful dining room to another beautiful area of a home. I started adding pottery from the Garden Gallery to my collection of housewares and they have served me well over the years because they're always such high-quality. I always get joy from using them The designs and colors are always tasteful and they really go well with any decor. More than that, the way the objects are displayed together is truly artistic and never fails to inspire me!

This is where I spend an hour while everybody else wonders through the maze of fudge, coffee, quirky tee shirts and post cards.

Leave time to meander through all that this shop has to offer and ask about the artists and merchandise.

It was prominently displayed with two beautiful seascapes on the way in. She has a very lovely light style and it made me feel just like I was out at sea. I asked her about it and she said that she did spend quite a bit of time on kayaks out in the ocean, so that was where she really got the feeling of light and air that showed in the painting We also walked around and looked at a lot of the other art. There are many many artists represented here, and each artist has their own small wall space and sometimes a shelf as well for their art. There's all kinds of art; watercolors, oil painting, acrylic paintings, and also some jewelry and pottery. I liked a lot of the earrings that were displayed in the window with the light behind them which made all the colors sparkle and gleam. There was were also some nice wheel-throne coffee mugs that had a nice subtle ombre effect. We wandered around and really enjoyed the show and chatting with our artist friend.
