The Way to Play is a small, expressive painting that celebrates lightness, intuition, and the quiet joy of letting go. Painted in layered blue tones with bold texture and contrast, this piece emerged from a playful state of flow—an invitation to explore without overthinking.
As a final touch, I added a small dolphin in the center—like a quiet symbol. Often associated with play, intelligence, and freedom, the dolphin brings a gentle focus to the composition. A reminder, perhaps, to trust the moment and follow what feels good.
This painting is part of a diptych together with Out of Order. They can be purchased as a pair or separately.
The edges of the canvas are painted in glossy white, giving the piece a fresh, finished look from all angles—yet still with a raw touch, marked by subtle splashes and traces from the painting process.
Please note: The painting is freshly completed and still drying. Due to the thick texture, it will be ready to ship or pick up in approximately 3–4 weeks.
