Sun-drenched days, flower-flecked shells, and the luxury of lingering—this joyful snail invites us to celebrate the sweet art of doing less. With nature as its backdrop and colour as its companion, it reminds us that progress doesn’t always need speed. Sometimes, optimism blooms best in the slow lane. So stretch out, savour the stillness, and let summer unfold at its own charming pace.

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.
