“Spirit in the Sky” celebrates the charm of a classic suburban home surrounded by a lively garden filled with bold colour and joyful shapes. The mid-century style house sits quietly beneath a soft blue sky while layers of painted foliage rise and swirl around it. Each leaf and flower adds a sense of movement and abundance, creating a place that feels peaceful and full of life. This artwork captures the warmth of everyday beauty and the uplifting energy of a garden that seems to reach toward the open sky.
