Rx: laughter!

'Rx: laughter!'...smiling, laughing + having fun really is the best medicine, isn't it?  I hope this painting reminds to you to spend a little more time on the things that make you smile ❤
 
ABOUT THE COLLECTION:
'Rx: laughter!' is a part of my flower medicine collection--paintings created while I was feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sad and hopeless about a medical condition I was experiencing in December 2024.
 
One day, I picked up the paintbrush and out came flowers.  As I painted them, my spirits began to lift and I started to actively attempt to infuse joy and hope into my painting.  
 
Each one is different, but they share many transparent layers of paint (many mixed with my favorite color: fluorescent magenta), paint splatters and drips, collaged on polka dots + stripes.  Some have crackle paste or modeling paste; all of them have my desire to reach out to you + have you believe it will get better as well. 
 
This flower bouquet is your medicine 😚  hang it on your wall or give it to a friend who needs it.  
 
did you know this painting has a bunch of "sisters"?  there are around 10 smaller paintings in this collection (can't remember exactly how many, lol) ranging from 6x6, 6x8 and 8x8.  they look great alone and as a cluster of art!
 
This painting was made on 6x8" cradled hardboard that has 2" sides.  It was painted with acrylic + varnished with a clear coat, and is wired on the back for hanging.
