Over the past few weeks we've been busy making some alterations to our kitchen. Moving cupboards around means we've also had to take down or move some of the artwork we have on the walls. Fortunately one of our favourite pictures, a view looking across sand dunes towards the sea, can be left where it is.
The kitchen has a coastal and boating theme and the artworks in the room follow that theme. All the items of art were bought cheaply as we were concerned about damage from the heat and humdity in the room. This picture was one of the earliest we chose together. We picked it up for a fiver in a home decoration shop while out and about on our travels.
It has no frame, but the clipped edges of its composition give the effect of a window, perhaps in a beach hut. It gives us an alternative view to the main kitchen window: an urban scene with patio, concrete path, brick walls and neighbouring houses.
The sand dunes scene has a calm, atmospheric feel to it. You can easily imagine strolling hand in hand along the wooden boardwalk towards the secluded shoreline on a warm summer's evening. With the gentle sound of waves washing over the sand it is a haven of tranquility compared with the realtively hectic activites that go on in the kitchen.
We are pleased that we have been able to keep this picture in its place within the new kitchen arrangement. So now, when we've finished baking bread and cooking soup, we can relax over lunch with a wonderful view to enjoy.

Love Your Art.
