Living in a Happy World

"I titled my work as "Living in a Happy World," as if these goals were met, we would be living in a happy world, a very happy world. I chose to use a watercolour base so as tocreat a flowing, welcoming feeling on the world. The oil pastels are to bold this feeling and create even happier, warmer colours.

The flowing, happiness swarm of colours is to make the wold appear to be finally one, as North America would be no richer a place to live in than Africa. All of this positive one(ness) and happiness is generating from the love and caring in the world, represented by the heart.

The countless traits and phrases written on the background symbolize the unlimited positive possibilities that would generate from the thought or possibility of a place, a world that has truly met these goals and where one place in the world is just as great as the next."
