sometimes you just stumble upon something. a singular something. an image on the internet speaking beauty and speaking directly to you. those click click clicking moments online where you find something you weren’t even looking for. and, what you were looking for you no longer need.
i stumbled upon this image of a pretty haired woman painting the most beautiful moon scene. i was taken with the colors. the black onyx like night and many a moons in many a colors. colors that calm and collide. one melting right into the next. so i started down the clicking trail.
first to the vsco grid that i poured over, and learned belonged to stella maria baer.
the southwest scenes. the greys mixed with clay colored every-things, under a pink patterned sky. a soul sigh. i’ve been drawn to the colors of the southwest since i was eleven. and, again when i was twenty and every year after that i spent time in tucson, making it feel like second home of mine. it’s funny how colors and patterns and places and feels stick with you and reappear over the years.
i click clicked again, until i ended at art. stella maria baer is an artist and her work is stunning. i don’t know if i could decide which moon i’d want to make my own. one moon or many?
but, that desert moon (above), is full of meaning. layer up on layer of it. i’d love to one day sleep under a moon like that.
for more inspiration you can follow stella on instagram. she is my new favorite follow for sure.
