    Of the three? Devotion to the Ocean. But in the shop - there is just something about Spanish Walls... I was in Andalusia for my honeymoon and just loved it. We went back for a return trip four years later!

    I love the "White teapot" and "The Road to Limoge" both have this "white" aura. Lately I seem to gravitate to all things white. They feel clean, and just soothing.
    Thanks for the special give-away!

    LOVE the top one in your post: Devotion to the Ocean. Also love Deserted Beach and the finish in The Joy of Life France is amazing!

    My daughter is going to art school for photography in the fall. I'm excited. I love that you are promoting other artists as well, Anne - like Jamie Shelman.

    Anne, as you know my style of painting, the first seascape image draws me the most I love Tim's photography. It may even inspire a painting, and I will give credit of course!

    The thing that strikes me about these photographs is that all inspire me to want to dream up a story to go with them. My favorite for its colors and calm is "Devotion to the Ocean," but I also LOVE "Goldfinch in a Cage" and Andalucia-Spanish Landscape" and many man more. Thank you for introducing me to this work!

    I've been obsessing over his carousel pictures for quite some time now... It was a tough desicion, but I absolutely love 'Paper Lanterns', 'Flamenco Dress in Bedroom', and of course, 'Carousel 1970'. They are all too yummy for words though.

    Oh my goodness. I've looked carefully at his photos three ties, and it's really hard to nail down three favorites. But since you insist:)
    *Long May You Run
    *Buen Gusto Cafe
    *Fantasy Land
    But by tomorrow they could be three different favorites because I would be entirely overjoyed to display any of his photography. Thank you for introducing me to such a talent.
