That’s a beautiful one! And I’m so glad you’re appreciating the giveaways – good luck!
I love the opal dream with the silver frame, and the Northern Flicker
I love the art in the ‘Art Works in Red’ gallery wall.
I like the Moon and Opal Dream art prints (section Impressionists), but I agree with you that the b&w floral print is awesome!!

http://www.artfullywalls.com/works/2583/viola-gardens-in-peach
Love those two – anything involving florals or fruit is right up my alley and would look perfect in my house!
They have some really lovely choices! One that I thought was very sweet was the Wild Mustard print.
I was agreeing with you about Ashley Woodson Bailey’s black and white “Forever” photograph. THEN, I spun out of control when I saw her subtle pink “Syd” print. In the future, I may browse through Artfully Wall’s print collection as a calming stress reliever. Print after print, I was creatively inspired, but I felt my blood pressure drop to calm. “Noontime” by Sybil Wisdor spoke volumes to me.
It’s amazing how even online, art has such a restorative effect on the soul! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting! xoxo
