Original Oil and Mixed Media Painting

JOY

This painting was created in layers—just like joy itself.

Beneath the surface are abstract textures, vibrant colors, flowers, musical notes, handwritten prayers, and sacred fragments of truth. Words emerge and disappear:
“The joy of the Lord.”
“In His Presence.”
“Sing to the Lord.”

A portion of Psalm 16:11, taken from an actual Bible, rests within the composition, along with lyrics from a simple, childlike song about rain and joy. These layers were completed first—but something was still missing.

For months, the painting waited.

Then she appeared.

A woman dancing—caught mid-swirl. Her hair and skirt flow together as one. She isn’t performing. She isn’t striving. She’s simply responding. There’s a gentle smile on her face, the kind that comes from knowing where joy truly lives.

If you look closely, the abstract layers beneath her begin to resemble a map. A pathway. A way through confusion, disorder, and unanswered questions. What may look messy or unstructured at first glance reveals a deeper truth: joy is not found by organizing the chaos—it’s found by fixing our eyes on Jesus and following Him through it.

This painting reflects a truth I return to again and again:

Joy is an inside job.

Not dependent on circumstances.
Not postponed until things make sense.
But discovered in His Presence—right here, right now.

Psalm 16:11; Isaiah 55:12; Romans 14:17; Isaiah 30:21
