Bittersweet (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Peggy Lee

"This painting captures 'the swirl of life'—the way our good times and hard times are always mixed together. We all experience beautiful joy (the sweet) and painful sadness (the bitter) as we move through life. I wanted to show that these emotions are not separate; they are always intertwined, each one defining the other.
​In this piece, the interwoven colors and forms visually represent this concept. The dark, heavy parts and the bright, golden parts are always together, merging and hugging one another to create a large, dynamic energy. Life is not defined by a single thing; it is a beautiful, bittersweet journey where every mix of feeling makes us whole."
