"Joyful" - 60x60cm

This painting came together quite quickly. The energy simply poured straight out of me directly onto the canvas. Incorporating textures, physical and visual, into my artworks really gives them a sense of depth that pulls right you in. Let yourself be immersed into this piece and bring its joyfulness to your home.

"'Tis so much joy" by Emily Dickinson

'Tis so much joy! 'Tis so much joy!
If I should fail, what poverty!
And yet, as poor as I,
Have ventured all upon a throw!
Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so—
This side the Victory!

Life is but Life! And Death, but Death!
Bliss is, but Bliss, and Breath but Breath!
And if indeed I fail,
At least, to know the worst, is sweet!
Defeat means nothing but Defeat,
No drearier, can befall!

And if I gain! Oh Gun at Sea!
Oh Bells, that in the Steeples be!
At first, repeat it slow!
For Heaven is a different thing,
Conjectured, and waked sudden in—
And might extinguish me!
