Peace is the fairest form of happiness (Original, Signed and Framed)

Original oil painting on heavy weight paper.

45cm x 30cm (unframed)

Long title I know and I can't take credit for it - I read it somewhere, can't remember where - or maybe I dreamt it.  Either / or - I really enjoyed painting this one.  Sometimes it just flows and something good comes from it.  I didn't use any kind of reference I just made it up, and often, for me, that's the best way - to imagine something into being. 

Then when I looked at it finished, I thought - well, that's nice and peaceful.  I love, I mean really love trees, water and mountains, preferably all together and throw in a waterfall and I'm pretty mesmerised. I'd hope a bit of love made its way into this and perhaps you might get a glimpse of that. I imagine myself in the world of this painting and I hope you might too. 

Peace is the fairest form of happiness.  Fairest in the Snow White kind of way - I think we can agree that whatever brings us a feeling of peace is something worth exploring and following, when - and if we can.
