feast your eyes on these cosy artworks by yasuko hayakawa

This series of gouache paintings by Japanese artist Yasuko Hayakawa gives us the same kind of warm, fuzzy feeling we get out of big hugs from old friends or hot drinks on icy days.

There’s just something about those soft colours and rounded plates of sweets that make all our troubles go away for just a moment (although, they do make us a wee bit peckish). Swing past Yasuko’s website and Instagram to see more calming, lovely works.
