Painting Happiness- A Snippet Of Inspiration

A close up of my finished piece ‘Each New Day’ 2014

”There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke”- Vincent Van Gough

Inspired by this thought, I set out with the intention of painting my vision of how happiness makes me feel in my latest piece ‘Each New Day’.  People always say that creativity is one of the best ways to express oneself, and that when an artist paints, they dip their paintbrush into their soul which ultimately shines through on the canvas.  With that in mind, I hope I have succeeded (even if only a little) in portraying feelings of happiness through my artwork.

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” – Antoine de Saint Exupery
