Abundant Joy was what I was feeling one day. Knowing that all emotions, including joy, are temporary states, I planned this painting that same day. My intent was to try to recreate a sense of joy, happiness, and exuberance. I chose a variety of happy colors and I painted exaggerated yellow sunflowers, tall magenta tulips and orange daylilies that acted like they could hardly contain themselves. If you feel happy or smile when you see it, I have been successful!
