Pause. Breathe. In the midst of our bustling lives, take a moment to find serenity in simplicity. Whether it’s the tranquil gaze of a Buddha, the delicate petals of a flower, the quiet beauty of a landscape, or the strength of a tree, each photo in my “Zen Moments” series invites you to embrace a sense of peace and mindfulness.
Let these images guide you to a place of calm and reflection, where you can appreciate the small, beautiful details of life.

I shot this photo at Kentuck Knob, also known as the Hagan House. The house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in rural Stewart Township near the village of Chalk Hill, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA.

About the Optimism of Color Blog

For 365 days, I am posting a photo or piece of art that I have 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 a near death experience.

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.
