60 x 80 cm | Mixed media oil painting | 2025
Original painting by Brigita Bonas

This painting is a visual ode to gratitude and the quiet art of alchemy - turning what life offers, however simple or sour, into gold. The woman, barefoot and grounded, gathers lemons beneath a glowing canopy - a symbol of both the Giving Tree and the abundance hidden in everyday moments. Each lemon reflects the light like a small sun, a reminder that joy can be found not in waiting for better circumstances but in cherishing what’s already in your hands.

The warmth of the palette - honeyed yellows, soft siennas, and touches of rose - evokes the sweetness that emerges when we choose appreciation over resistance. This piece speaks of presence, of slowing down enough to see the sacred in the ordinary and of transforming life's offerings into beauty, nourishment and gratitude.
