fullness of joy

$30.00

Medium: Mixed media (acrylic, oil pastel) on paper

Dimensions: 6 X 6

This is one of the first art scraps I made while playing around with swirling oil pastel markings.

This tiny art is from my “art scraps” series, where I paint mini paintings on scraps of paper or canvas from around my studio. Canvas or paper may contain slight tears, creases, or splotches of paint due to their “scrap” nature, which you’ll be able to see in the listing photos.

Accompanying Poem:

FULLNESS OF JOY

it’s enough to know

we still live in a world with clouds

fluffy bright things

cuddling the sky

it’s enough

to remember the sigh

of a newborn, content

or even those angry cries—just happy

to hear the breath in its lungs

always aware

the ruler of our lives

inching closer and closer—

that’s enough, you say

no more poems

about death

but even the clouds dissipate

and rain on someone’s parade

Additional Details:

  • Oil pastel, sprayed with fixative, but will still smudge (will be shipped wrapped in glassine)

  • Comes with Certificate of Authenticity

  • Signed on front and back

  • This paper does not come framed

Shipping & Returns:

  • All sales are final

  • 2-3 weeks shipping and processing
