The Cheerful Splendor |
Abstract Canvas Print from Original Oil Painting
by Nicole McNamara
A bold celebration of joy and curiosity — childhood awe reborn in vibrant color.
"The Cheerful Splendor" is a celebration in color and spirit — a vibrant, happy mess of fun lines and bold hues that refuses to stay quiet. This piece captures that burst of childhood awe when the world felt brand new and every moment sparkled with possibility.
It’s the joy that sneaks in when life’s been heavy, the kind that washes away the tough stuff — if only for a little while. Think of it like that spontaneous giggle or unexpected dance party you didn’t see coming but totally needed.
Inspired by the bright, curious energy of Franz Marc’s Yellow Cow, "The Cheerful Splendor" captures the feeling of frolicking through life’s surprises, wide-eyed and open-hearted. It’s a colorful rebellion against the serious, a reminder that sometimes joy is the loudest form of resistance.

“This is joy at full volume - up to eleven — a riot of color that refuses to shrink.”
- Nicole McNamara

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.
A symphony of yellows, oranges, greens, and deep blues collide in playful chaos, evoking childlike wonder and spontaneity. The elongated horizontal composition suggests expansiveness, as if the joy can’t be contained. Contrasting warm and cool tones balance exuberance with grounding, while layered brushwork and swirling shapes create motion — a visual embodiment of laughter and frolic. The piece radiates curiosity and open-hearted awe.
