"Live Joyfully" Original Painting #2 of 52 Weeks of Colorful Joy 2026

Live Joyfully
Original Painting #2 of 52 Weeks of Colorful Joy 2026

This original abstract painting is part of my 52 Weeks of Colorful Joy series, an ongoing project celebrating color, creativity, and joy, with a brand-new original painting released every Friday throughout 2026.

Bold, expressive, and full of movement, this piece is layered with vibrant color and playful collaged elements, including patterned papers and pieces of my own paint palette incorporated directly into the artwork. The hand-painted phrase “live joyfully” is woven into the composition as both a message and a reminder, inviting color and intention into everyday life. 

The gallery-wrapped sides are painted with cheerful teal and white stripes, allowing the piece to be displayed without a frame and enjoyed from every angle.

Finished with a protective semi-gloss varnish, the surface has a subtle sheen that enhances the colors while protecting the artwork over time. Colors may vary slightly from screen/photos to original artwork.
