The Future’s Bright

For the past two years, life has felt very heavy, dark and scary at times. The hatred and division around us has grown. I painted this flower scene to share a little hope that the future is, in fact, bright. The jagged black border represents the darkness of recent years, while the flowers bloom bright within it.

I added vibrant colors and many ladybugs to represent good luck for our future. When a ladybug lands on you, it’s called the “kiss of good luck,” so I made sure to include plenty to help lift us out of the funk we’ve been in lately.

Here’s a fun fact I learned after finishing the painting: echinacea is said to symbolize strength, healing, protection, renewal, and staying grounded through change. Spiritually, it’s often seen as a reminder of inner resilience and balance. I didn’t plan that at all, so it was a sweet bonus!

Whatever you’re carrying right now, I hope this painting offers a little light. I hope we can all work together toward a brighter future for everyone!
