This painting is part of my Rainbow Series. I have had this idea of doing a painting for every color of the rainbow for a long time, but one day I told my husband that I am ready to finally do it. The next day, I was looking at Facebook or maybe Instagram and I came across something Maya Angelou said. She said, “Try to be a rainbow is somebody’s cloud.” I found a video of her where she said much more than that and it was so beautiful. It made me realize that is what I have always wanted my art to be. I want my art to be a rainbow in someone’s home. When they are having a rough time, or need to be reminded that there is something good, I would like to think that a moment with my art will give them a chance to find joy in the day. No matter what kind of day they may be having.
