Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonize – George Eliot

I made this image close to home at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

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 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.
