“Just Because It’s Fun” Original Still Life by Sandra Gale

Just Because It’s Fun is an unapologetic celebration of play. Four patterned vases sit within a decorative wavy frame, surrounded by lush leaves and flowers that burst beyond the edges, because joy rarely stays inside the lines.

This artwork brings together my favourite shapes and patterns: grids, checks, waves, and curves. It’s where careful composition meets creative abandon. The vases stand strong, a reminder of balance and stability, while the florals and foliage spill outward in a playful rhythm.

The colour palette draws on retro inspiration, coral reds, golden yellows, lilacs, and greens, yet it feels contemporary and full of life. It’s nostalgic but confident. Calm but expressive. And it’s one of those pieces that simply makes you smile every time you pass by.

There’s a feeling of childlike wonder in this work, but also the quiet sophistication that comes with experience, a nod to the idea that true freedom often comes from structure.

Styling vibe: Versatile and uplifting. Perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, or narrow spaces that need a burst of energy and optimism.

• A bold and joyful reminder that creativity thrives when you give it room to play.
