Radiance, Unfiltered

30x24in – Mixed Media Oil on Canvas

She said yes to herself—and everything changed.
This is what it looks like to stop shrinking, to stop waiting.
To let life kiss you full on the mouth and laugh louder than ever before.

Sheila’s Note: This painting is a declaration. It came through during a time when I was personally reclaiming joy—not the surface kind, but the wild, unapologetic kind that rises from deep within. She’s radiant because she stopped waiting for permission. And the cat? That’s my little secret signature of delight—proof that even in transformation, play gets to stay.
