'Begin Again (and again)'

Original round bokeh oil painting

Each day the sun rises. 
Each Winter gives way to Spring.
The light comes again (and again).
The trees burst into bud again (and again).
We are repeatedly given fresh starts, new beginnings, and chances to 'Begin Again (and again)'. 

This painting by New Zealand bokeh artist Mel McKenzie, celebrates the life-giving properties of light through her distinct blurry lens.

The 'blurry light'/bokeh evokes a sense of wistful nostalgia. The soft focus gives the painting an air of abstraction and conveys a message of hope, in the ways light finds its way through to you, with the beauty of taking the focus off 'sharp edges' and 'gritty details'.
