Shades of Happiness

Bold strokes of Winsor across the canvas, blended with a tinge of Zinc and dark hues of Sap for the shadows. This patch of Green making the bottom of the painting..

These colours intermingle, like Orange and Scarlet during an amiable sunset.

Cobalt and Flake White are dabbed into the cold, colourless background. The sky now looks cloudy as if it was soon gonna rain. The dabbing so magical that it looks real.

A streak of warmth is surprisingly added, as rays of the Cadmium Yellow sun are pulled down from the canvas' corner.

The lonesome, lifeless painting brightens up, like warm Red-Ochre afternoon sunlight breaking in through the window. A crawling, curious boy is painted, his Rosy cheeks and Hazel eyes perfectly done to reflect the Carrot Orange sunlight hitting his face. The fusion of Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre match his full sleeved shirt to his overgrown hair.

A slash of Iridescent White shaped into a goose with a Golden beak, the colour echoed by its webbed feet. Shades of Grey are let to grow into the White, giving the goose its healthy volume. The eyes are done, at last, with a spot of Ivory Black.

The painting glows, and the ambitious painter looks at it. It was done! A masterpiece! A few tints of different shades, and happiness is painted. Every colour has its implication, but a painting gives each one a new meaning every time it is used. Every hue is a shade of happiness, either now or later, embrace it, always.
