Hey Sunshine, Original

Hey SunshineCW1011 - 2025Acrylic on canvas20x16" (50.8 x 40.6 cm) From the “After the Rain” original art series by Clara Woods Some days I feel strong.Other days, it’s hard.I’m becoming a young adult and I have an important disability and I have to work hard to communicate. Even with my software, it’s still a challenge. Sometimes I feel alone.Sometimes I feel scared — because I don’t know what the future will be like. But then… the storm passes.And the sun comes back. One Saturday, I was feeling all of that. So I went to my studio, turned on the music, and started painting.That’s when I made this. I call it “Hey, Sunshine"It’s warm. It’s bright. It gives light and hope, just like the sun after a rainy day. I love to be outside, sitting, enjoying the sun. It is comforting. When I paint, everything makes more sense.The sadness gets quiet.I feel safe. I feel seen. And that’s what I want you to feel when you look at this painting.I want it to remind you that your storm will pass too. That
