Happiness
Blue Pool - Dorset

Mixed Media - Oil painting and photography

​

I have titled this artwork "Happiness," as that is the feeling it evokes in me when I look at it, as well as when I stroll around the stunning Blue Pool in Dorset.
Making time for the activities we love most allows us to step away from our daily routines and elevates our spirits, helping us reach higher states of being. In these moments, we have the opportunity to heal, discover joy, create beautiful memories with others, and nurture and mend our relationships.
It is vital to carve out time for these special moments when we are genuinely connected to the world around us, whether we are alone or in the company of others. Furthermore, it doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavour; there is immense beauty in the natural world that can be found wherever you are. Being close to such beauty uplifts us, as does our connection to the countryside.
When was the last time you truly felt happy? If you find that question challenging to answer, I encourage you to take the opportunity, if you can, to connect with nature and marvel at her spectacular creations: a fallen leaf, a frosted cobweb, the new shoots of spring.
