Joy We Didn't Have to Look For

Joy We Didn’t Have to Look For

9x12 in · Oil on Linen Panel

Some days, joy doesn’t arrive in grand gestures — it’s just there, woven into the hum of everyday life. The sound of laughter spilling down the hallway, sunlight cutting across a countertop, the rhythm of ordinary moments that somehow feel sacred.

I painted this piece with that quiet kind of joy in mind — the kind that doesn’t ask to be chased or earned. It lives in the spaces we already inhabit: the car rides to dance practice, the chatter over dinner, the simple act of showing up for another day together.

There’s warmth in this one — not just in the color, but in the reminder that joy often finds us long before we think to go looking for it.

A timeless still life featuring bright lemons resting in a blue and white porcelain bowl, this painting brings together freshness and tradition. The lemons symbolize vitality and abundance, while the porcelain reflects elegance and craftsmanship. Together, they create a balanced composition that feels both classic and contemporary—an artwork that enlivens a room with color and light, and reminds us to find beauty in the everyday.
