This image shows a hood ornament from a 1952 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe. I made the images in my Auto Parts collection over the past twenty years while visiting classic car shows and car museums in Canada and the United States.

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I post a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.

Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
