A detailed print of my original painting titled 'Balancing Joy And Sorrow.'
This painting was inspired by some recent challenges my husband and I experienced together. In the midst of my sadness, I found myself thinking about this balancing act that we all have to do throughout life. To me, this is what life is - learning how to balance the joy and the sorrow, the laughter and the grief, the love and the loss. As painful as the difficult things can be, the lady in this painting needs both the joy and the sorrow to balance.
Throughout my life I have found that my sorrow makes my joy sweeter, and that I need both to experience my life fully. If I dropped either my joy or my sorrow, I would not be able to balance on this tightrope.
In this painting, butterflies fly next to the woman as she balances. Butterflies symbolize many different things in different cultures. Some of these include: change, growth, renewal, enduring love, and the souls of loved ones who have passed on. Whatever they represent you, I hope they can be a reminder that butterflies surround you on your journey.
I know that many of you are currently experiencing hardships that feel impossible to overcome. I hope that this painting can help you feel seen and loved. I hope it reminds you that you have managed to balance joy and sorrow every day of your life so far, and you will continue to be able to do so. It will be hard and soul stretching and sometimes feel impossible, but we can do it.

Canvas Details
Canvas prints are made lovingly by hand in the United States, and are shipped directly from my supplier to you. Reflective gold is NOT able to be added to the canvases due to the way they are made and the protective coating used on them. The gold colors in canvases will be a flat gold color as shown in the listing images.
Unframed Canvases have a wrapped image and a 1.5" edge. They have a sawtooth hanger in the back for easy installation.
Framed canvas prints come in either a white, black, or gold floater frame. Floater frames create the illusion that the artwork is floating inside of it. They elevate the artwork and the perfect finishing touch. Framed canvases have a 1.5" edge and come with a hanging wire in the back for easy installation.
Canvases are printed on thick archival grade, poly-cotton canvas. The canvas is pH neutral, acid-free, and will not yellow over time.
Canvases are perfect for gifting!
Ornament Details
Ornaments are made of porcelain. They are sturdy and should not break unless dropped from a tall heigh onto very hard floor. Ornaments are oval, approximately 2x3 inches, and come with a classic white ribbon attached.
