About:
 
A gentle cascade of eucalyptus leaves, painted in radiant amethyst and violet hues, unfurls softly along the page — like drops of morning dew strung along a delicate thread of light.

This piece is a meditation on joy — not the loud or fleeting kind, but the quiet, sustaining joy that lives in the breath, in the moment, in the small glimmers of beauty and tenderness we allow ourselves to notice.

It was painted in response to a message from Spirit that emerged in my journaling: an image of joy as morning dew — nourishing the earth, sustaining other beings, rising into the atmosphere only to return again, renewed and multiplied. This is the nature of joy when we allow it: cyclical, generous, and alive. Something we give, receive, and are sustained by — sometimes all at once.

May this piece be a gentle reminder that joy is always near. That even in your darkest hours, it is but a breath away.
