I find it incredible that people do have this gift to see colors. I am a gray/white lover for my home décor, but splashes of aqua are my muse. Art is fabulous thing; it takes so much work to express what you see in your head so that the rest of the world can also see it!<br /><br />Peace, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067023107829045075.post-49963810564016602762011-07-07T14:13:21.642+01:002011-07-07T14:13:21.642+01:00Enchanting post of a land so far away.I was readin...Enchanting post of a land so far away.I was reading your profile and was amazed we have so much in common:)Thank you for visiting me.
