There’s always that one friend. The one who makes your heart flutter just a little. The one you want to impress, connect with, and be truly seen by.
“Kate’s Painting”, from the “The Beautiful Mess” collection, was my not-so-subtle love letter — painted in unapologetically bold, brilliant, look-at-me colors — because I was craving something deeper than surface-level friendship. Something more honest. More intimate. More real.
The two bold half-circles? That’s us — almost touching, almost reaching. One offering an olive branch. Both hoping for connection, but not quite landing it. It’s about longing, unspoken feelings, and the gorgeous ache of vulnerability.
Spoiler alert: she didn’t like it. Bought something from Etsy instead. (Ouch.)
But here’s the thing — this painting survived my heartbreak and came out stronger for it. She may have passed it up, but maybe that’s because it was meant for you — someone who knows what it means to feel deeply, to risk showing up, and to crave beauty that tells the truth.
Each “Kate’s Painting” print is made to order — a conscious rejection of mass production in favor of art that carries meaning, created fresh, intentional, and yours alone.
“My boldest love letter — painted in color, ache, and almosts.”

COLOR & COMPOSITION INSIGHT
The Mood This Palette Creates
Every shade in this piece is chosen with intention — to shift the energy of your space, spark emotion, and remind you of what’s possible every time you walk past it.
"Kate’s Painting" bursts with unapologetically bold blues, fiery oranges, and vibrant magentas — a fearless palette that mirrors the emotional tension of wanting connection but not quite reaching it. Two half-circle forms anchor the composition, their near-touch amplifying the ache of longing, while swirling ribbons of color create movement and depth that pull the viewer inward. Cool tones convey vulnerability and introspection, while the warm, electric accents speak to courage and desire. The interplay between the crisp white negative space and the saturated color fields reinforces the central theme: closeness and separation, hope and hesitation, all in one charged moment.
