Original artwork description:

This painting is exploring the feelings and sensations of the beach and fairground, the smells of candy floss, and the speed of the fairground rides passing, the sound of people laughing, juxtaposed with the calm of the nearby harbour. Its bold, vibrant colours are mixed with the pale pastel colours of ice cream and candy. The senses deal with the present moment, yet there is also a history beneath as each shape or form encroaches on the one before it. The process leads to this moment.

The title came to me as it was a line from a song on my playlist by the band Old Dominion and it's perfect as it's about making the most of the moment. I hope this painting can give you a sense of joy and happiness.
