I have never been into art to be quite honest. I cannot draw a straight line with a ruler and that is the whole truth. Living in Saudi and raising 9 kids, there was no time for art or music or literature and it was quite honestly labeled a “waste of time”. Despite that, the kids flourished and developed a creative side that still amazes me! Well, now that life has settled down and I have been exposed to so much art through blogging, I have found what I like!! There are so many artists and I adore all of their work! Recently I received a free card from my friend Jodi (lucky me) and I love her work!
One day I stumbled upon this blog and the art was mesmerizing! Sand Salt Moon is a blog with gorgeous art. Cynthia is the artist and also has become a friend. I don’t understand how or what is done to create this beauty, I just know it is beautiful. I guess at age 53 I am starting to know more about myself through looking at art, reading blogs and seeing photos. I ordered a piece of art but it was really hard to pick my favorite. Thanks Cynthia for being part of my awakening.
I wonder where I would put this one…..
It is beautiful! I’m sure it will look lovely in your home. 🙂

This is lovely and something that I could quite happily look at every day. Very interesting subject as the flowers ins the foreground look almost as if they could have come from a European garden, but the trees in the background have a tropical feel. Like a fusion of two cultures – very apt Choice Miss Lynz……….
