Original artwork description:

What is Happiness?

Perhaps it is what we feel when we are with our family or friends, or it may be how we feel when we enjoy our solitude. Whatever it is, I think this work exudes happiness in its color palette and gestural spontaneity.

'Happiness' is uplifting and immediate with strong brushwork. The rich colors of pink, gold, orange, and purple make this work a vibrant addition to a variety of spaces.

This painting has been created using professional acrylic paint and satin varnish for UV protection. The sides are a continuation of the painting. No framing is required unless desired. That said, this painting would be stunning in a simple gold frame.
The work is signed on the back and ready to hang with a wire attached.

Please Note:
- The in situ images are for display purposes only to show the work in different interiors and/or with suggested frames if desired. Please refer to the exact size of the work provided in the description.

Thank you for your interest in my work!
