Creating Joy from Within Your Immediate Surroundings - Mixed Media Collage - Maximalist Decor

Size: 18x24x2”

Description: A beautiful peach rose and dandelions are the first flowers I see in this gorgeous botanical and abstract mixed media collage.
The rose is a “Cinnamon“ peach rose, I believe, and is thus a symbol of gratitude and appreciation. Much gratitude was indeed expressed while creating this detailed work with things I have on hand. It is always humbling to take stock of what we DO have in our lives, and usually, it’s everything we need… This piece was created from only materials in my art studio. I decided I am going to make something happy - that I would create joy - ONLY from the things within my immediate surroundings! A fun challenge! The bright colors in this piece move the viewer through a spectrum of positive feelings, and there are SO many images in this piece… All of which personally make me happy!
Pollinators, a myriad of beautiful flowers, including the aforementioned DANDELIONS (I just love them – and they are symbolic of overcoming adversity, hope, dreams, transformation, life-cycles, and childhood innocence).
There is a green tomato over the woman's eyes (YUM! I LOVE fried green tomatoes!)
The number 9 also has a spiritual significance in the piece... that is a deep yearning to make the world a better place! (It is also the number of my art studio!)

This is an original mixed media collage on 2 inch deep edged canvas. The sides are painted and several coats of a UV protective, archival quality gloss varnish have been applied to the surface and edges to enhance the details and for longevity.
