This artwork is a high resolution photo of an original acrylic painting called “The happiness inside”. 

The original painting is blue and pink. This green and blue colour palette was created by working with the colours digitally. There’s also a poem by the same name further down in the description.

This painting wants to spread its happiness far and wide and makes for a perfect addition to an already colourful home or maybe as that splash of colour in a more minimalist home. Perfect as a gift for someone you love.


The story of the painting:
One night, just as I was falling asleep, I suddenly, as bolt from the blue, got a sort of vision. I saw fragments of how I was painting a very specific painting. I saw how I started with a sponge and pink paint in one of the corners, and I saw the colour scheme of pink-purple-blue-turquoise and I saw dots.

The next day I started and I did the pink paint in the corner. After that I let the colours take me wherever they wanted. The painting slowly showed itself to me. Every dot telling me where it wanted to be. And it’s been teaching me how important happiness is in the creative process. The happiness that comes from within.


If I for some reason wasn’t aligned with that inner happiness the dots went quiet until I aligned myself again. The painting teaches us that the happiness is always there inside us.


Like the late artist Nightbirde said ”You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore until you decide to be happy”


You are loved💜💙

The poem:
There’s a place inside and if we allow, it’ll make us shine
Its beauty is indescribable and its perfection - oh it’s divine!

It’s a fountain, yet not a place you can see
It’s where we’re born and where we want to be

Bit by bit you’ll see the size of it 
Focus on it and you’ll find it
Mm, it’s in that banana split, isn’t it?
Feel it, taste it, smell it, touch it. Love it!

It’s a bubbly, sparkly, swooshy and glittery kind of place
It makes everything easier and it will light up your whole face
It makes laughter dance over the hills and valleys of your inner mountains
It can also make tears fall but they're special and come from the benevolent fountain

Many times we’re taught to look for the place “out there” 
And we neglect, 
Or maybe we forget, 
That its joy comes in overflowing abundance and isn’t rare

We think it’ll be found in approval from those around
Or when everything is perfect and success abounds

All of that is fun, so yes celebrate every win!
But our inner being is always reminding  
That if we stop the constant faultfinding
We’ll find the fountain has always been within

It’s dancing and dancing there on the inside, 
Patiently waiting for us to open our hearts wide
To let go of the stress, expand our consciousness
And to choose our own mindfulness. 
Heartfulness. Soulfulness. Happiness.
