Who doesn’t love flowers! This painting is perfectly named for the joy flowers bring, ‘Bouquet of Happiness
Just sold to a new collector.

Ralph DeLuca, a New York-based art adviser and vice chair and global head of pop culture at Sotheby’s, writing in the online magazine Cultured in August, says the changing geopolitical conditions are already making ultra-wealthy collectors rethink their spending habits. “Over the past decade, the market leaned heavily into identity politics,” DeLuca writes. “Today, I’m sensing a pullback. Collectors may no longer resonate with a particular artist’s message (if they ever even did?) and no longer want to live with—or even own—the work.”
In today’s “less overtly ‘woke’ political environment”, collectors are seeking works that are classics, or are simply beautiful or technically skilful, rather than those that “make a statement”, according to DeLuca.
Bouquet of Happiness is simply beautiful!
Inspired by nature’s fleeting beauty, Bouquet of Happiness is a celebration of light, love, and the simple pleasures that brighten our days. Inspired by the flowers in my garden.
These smaller works of heART are perfect if you are downsizing, or curating a bookcase or brightening a smaller area of your home or office. Joyous Wee Gems also make a memorable gift for someone you love.
