A vibrant painting full of energy and colours of teal and pink on a background of deep purple. This series comprises four art works which can be purchased individually or as a set.

What inspired the artwork?

This series of paintings was inspired after re-reading Mark Manson's irreverent book 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: a counterintuitive approach to living a good life'. 

Do you find yourself getting angry at the news? Frustrated by the demands from work? Your family? Or society?

If you are ready to live with more ease then this is the book - and paintings - for you.

Manson's manifesto is not about not caring. It's the opposite. It's a book about choosing what to give a f*ck about.

There are four paintings in the series, each with a suggestion of how to let go:

1. Suggestion #1: Let go of worrying what other people think of you
2. Suggestion #2: Let go of your fear of failure
3. Suggestion #3: Let go of attempting to be perfect
4. Suggestion #4: Let go of comparing yourself with others

Suggestion #4: If you compare yourself with other - pause a moment. Take a breath and remember the positive things in your life. There will always be people better, and worse, off than you. Let go of comparing your life. None of us knows what joys and sorrows are going on with other people. Instead, embrace the good that is in yours.  

We could compare this painting with the others. Is it better? Worse? But how about we enjoy it for itself? No comparison. It's easy to assume our lives are worse than others, or we'd be happier if we just had a bit more of this, or a bit less of that. But let this painting will remind you that no matter what else others have, or don't have. You are enough.
