Be Happy With The Beautiful Things That Make You YOU
Most Penguin Book Cover Art pieces carry a line borrowed from somewhere else -- a poem, a song, a vow. "Be Happy With YOU" does something different: it turns the format in on itself, using the same bold three-band layout everyone recognises from classic Penguin paperbacks to say something personal rather than tell a story.
It is a 75cm x 100cm mixed media original, every brushstroke laid by hand -- nothing printed or templated. Up close the surface has real texture and movement, and the colour shifts subtly as the light in a room changes through the day, which is the whole point of buying an original over a print: it behaves like a physical object, not a flat image.
Why this piece, for this wall
It works where you want a prompt rather than a scene -- a bedroom, a reading nook, a hallway you pass every day. The message is plain enough to read from across a room and specific enough to mean something on the hundredth look, not just the first.
Original or print
The hand-painted original is available while it remains unsold. If you'd rather hang a print, it's available on museum-grade canvas or archival paper, framed locally in a floating frame (natural or black) for a cleaner gallery look, or unframed if you'd rather choose your own.
