Her Joy

$2,400.00

Original Painting

40” x 30” x 1.5”, acrylic on canvas

“Her Joy was such a fun painting to paint! I’ve had the coolest photo of my daughter swinging from our backyard playset for 9 years and the day I captured her joyous and playful personality I knew I wanted to paint it! The photo also reminded me of a 1700 Rococo-style painting of a lady on a swing that has stuck in my mind from college taking an art history course. This particular daughter has such a fizzy and effervescent personality and is so fun to be around, I am inspired by her lightheartedness every day and it felt SO good to finally create this painting 9 years later.”  -Sara
