Happiness III

Happiness III, acrylic on art board, 18″x18″ (19″x19″ custom framed in hardwood), 2024 ~SOLD

This painting is part of my new series ‘Happiness” where I aimed to paint that emotion through color, pattern and mountainous scenery. I set out to paint a moment  that fleeting yet powerful, the brief burst of color at sunset where the brightly painted landscape elicits  just that, a burst of happiness. I hope that this vibrant vista inspire feelings of joy. Nature has such power to nourish the soul, sometimes when we needed it most. It can uplift us with its magic and wondrous hues bursting at sunset. No matter who or where a person is, even if they have nothing left in the world, they can still look up at the sky and see the most beautiful colors and scenery painted above, momentarily engulfing the surrounding landscape into a fairy tale scene, maybe giving a glimmer of hope when it’s most needed.
