“Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me:
If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures,
life and living need not be so hard.”
― Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
This is maybe a strange choice to describe Joy. Its a processed picture of a very quick painting that I did one day whilst listening to some very joyous and uplifting music – so although it may not be the typical picture of joy, to me, it brings back that moment of true happiness when creating something spontaneous. I hope you forgive my indulgence!
