The Joy We Carry – Original 22x28 Framed Flamingo Painting by Renee Smith

Some joy is loud. Some is quiet.
And some—the best kind—gets carried with you wherever you go.

The Joy We Carry is a celebration of vibrant community and individual grace. A radiant group of flamingos wade confidently through soft surf beneath a sky that blooms in blues, violets, and peachy golds. Each bird stands with gentle strength—some stretching, some settled, some watching—but all beautifully present.

This original 22x28 painting is framed in warm custom oak, creating a grounded border for a scene that otherwise seems to dance. It’s a piece about showing up fully as yourself, embracing the color you bring, and letting your presence ripple light into every space you enter.

Whether you hang it as a joyful centerpiece or as part of your Gathered by Grace collection, it’s a daily reminder that what you carry matters—and it’s meant to be shared.
