"TRUE COLORS" 22x30 FRAMED ORIGINAL POP ART PAINTING
“True Colors” is a vibrant, hyperrealistic watercolor painting that honors one of the most iconic DIY symbols of friendship from the 1980s: the friendship safety pin. Carefully adorned with seed beads and love, these tiny tokens were traded, worn on sneakers, backpacks, and jean jackets—quiet, colorful declarations of loyalty and connection.
This original work brings those memories to life with vivid archival watercolor and rich gold leaf accents, elevating these small objects of affection into something timeless and collectible. A nod to Gen X pop culture, this piece is perfect for anyone who remembers the joy of crafting, collecting, and connecting—one pin at a time.
