The Dawn of the Optimism

WHAT INSPIRED ME
------------------------
This is a kind of collaboration between my daughter and I. She chose the stock model and the contest I should submit the final piece. She also asked me to used clear and bright colors to match to the contest theme. And I did the rest.

I want to dedicated this piece to my daughter, who is the sunshine of my live. I just can’t imagine living without you, I love you so much!!! You are the reason who make me feel optimistic. I love you!

I hope you like this piece. Thank you so much for the huge support you give me.

The Concept I Tried to Express in my Work

“The better way to catch butterflies is not running after them. Just take care of your garden, plant flowers in it and they will come to you by themselves”
Fernando Pessoa – Portuguese Poet

That’s is what I believe optimism must be. Be positive, and the world will be in your favor.
