Beautifully rendered peonies in bright white and yellow, pop against a circular sky-blue backdrop in this contemporary piece by Jahn Page. The American born artist now lives in Hamilton, Ontario. His fresh, modern series of flowers is accented by his signature markings—a gestural band of pink draws the viewer’s eye to flowers ‘floating’ above. Each bouquet appears to have its own personality.

“This is my first attempt at making “The World’s Happiest Painting”…. There's a narrative quality to this piece that captivates me most. “ Jahn Page
