Oil on canvas, 2022
Some days carry a quiet magic. Nothing extraordinary happens — yet everything feels right.
“A Wonderful Day” is about that gentle state of being present. The figure stands lightly within her garden, her hand open, as if greeting the day rather than holding onto it. The hydrangeas are full and generous, painted in cool blues and soft violets, symbols of gratitude and emotional balance.
Her expression is calm, almost knowing. She is not posing — she is simply there. The world around her breathes slowly: leaves glowing with summer light, air heavy with warmth, time moving without urgency.
This painting is not about happiness as excitement.
It is about happiness as peace.
About recognising, in a fleeting moment, that this — right now — is enough.
