“Just Happy” is a simply beautiful work of art, done using pastels on plain paper, with a single color- yellow, synonymous in the art world with the feeling of happiness. A human face in profile is depicted on the canvas, looking upwards, with eyes wide opened, in amazement and hope, surrounded by a halo of yellow that infuses the artwork with vitality.

An even spread of the pastel color all around the face appears to be emerging out of it as if the subject is the source of the “happy” yellow.

Using simple color and a simple theme, the painting conveys an evocative message- of becoming your happiness, the Sun in the center of one’s universe.
