Extreme Optimism and Abstracts

They just seem to go together
in my mind.
I am an optimistic painter.
I paint with colors
images
forms
and combinations
that I enjoy.
That is really enough for me.
I have an optimistic view
and that works
to drive my work forward.
So it works for me.

I have been told that I am an extreme 
optimist.
I believe it.
When you hear something enough
it does not take 
alot more than that
to know that the
common
viewer has an opinion
that seems to work for everyone.

There is alot of pessimism
in our world today,  I do not share it.
I have never understood
the whole premise of
believing the worst
would happen.
It just is not true.

We all benefit from 
so much good
and so much success
in our lives.
I celebrate it
and enjoy it 
every moment of my waking
hours.

I do not choose
to believe 
anything else
in my world.
I choose to 
embrace the joy that
is celebrated all around me.
Constantly.

And that is the 
whole premise for
enjoying the art of abstracts.
Abstract ART takes optimism.
It takes the
world spinning
and the understanding of
ART all around us.
It is a joyful 
expression
and I want it to remain that way.
So I will endure with it
and push the envelope
and just keep making it happen 
in this world of mine.
