"At the seaside" -- sand dollars

Sand Dollar - 4" x 6" watercolor
©Tahirih Goffic, 2011


I was fiddling around with my new Windsor and Newton watercolors the other night, with an idea for a gift tag for a special order and I came up with this little image. I've always been fascinated with Sand Dollars and their simplicity and beauty and they remind me of playing with my daughter at the seaside, on our special trip to Tofino. This one looks better bigger, so please click away! 
I'm planning on doing a set of seaside/seashell themed gift cards for my shop, so keep your eyes peeled:)

    This is so soft and pretty! It reminds me of something you would see in a love song video.
