Always Look for the Bright Side

Always Look for the Bright Side

6x12 in. oil on linen

Some days begin in soft gray light, the kind that makes everything feel a little uncertain. And then—just like that—the sun shifts, and suddenly the whole room changes. Always Look for the Bright Side was painted in that moment of transformation: when light breaks through and turns the ordinary into something quietly extraordinary.

The lemon’s brightness, the play of cool and warm tones—it all became a small meditation on optimism. Not the loud, relentless kind, but the gentle kind that shows up anyway. The kind that finds a way to shimmer even on cloudy days.

This painting is a reminder that joy doesn’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it just slips in with the light.

I love the way the yellows glow against the cool blues—hopeful, steady, and unmistakably alive. A small reminder to keep looking for the bright side.
