just any painting that makes you really feel warm... one where you can really sense the happiness present.. it could be shown in, i don't know, maybe a person's face?
any of your suggestions or links would be fantastic.
thank you, and happy holidays to all!

The Birthday by Marc Chagall is such a painting.http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A1055&page_number=6&template_id=1&sort_order=1
It is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
At the time,
Chagall, then a young man, was living in Vitsyebsk in Belarus. He was engaged to Bella - who is shown in the painting. It was his birthday and she brought flowers to his studio. And he painted him and her kissing at that moment. The happiness and ecstasy of this kiss showing them levitating in the air. This is certainly an example of a mood of great happiness depicted in a painting.

One of the best working today depicting happy scenes is Catherine Perdreau from Quebec Canada.

At the risk of sounding terribly cliché, I would have to say that Van Gogh's Starry Night is so full of exuberance and wonder, that I cannot but smile and feel an infectious childlike sense of wonder and awe when seeing it. It reminds me of stellar fireworks.

Also his Sunflowers:

Likewise, several of Georgia O'Keefe flower prints feel like pure happiness:
