In a riot of rosy hues and soft green whispers, these lupines rise in joyful harmony with the season’s rhythm. Their upward reach mirrors a hopeful heart; their delicate petals, a quiet confidence. Nature doesn’t just reflect our inner world—it inspires it. And in moments like these, awash in colour and calm, we remember that the landscape often speaks the feelings we can’t yet name. Let the spirit bloom.

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.
