“I read somewhere recently a comment by someone about my paintings saying they were like ‘Happiness Therapy’. Well, that was quite a compliment, but also really cut to the heart of what my art is all about, and never more so than in this new work that I have called ‘Living The Life’.

“The title itself says it all. These flowers are doing what they do best; they have personalities that differ, colors that are unique, and each one is beautiful in its own way. But what makes them even more special is the way they compliment each other...just like us! Being cool on your own may be OK, but being on the team, part of the family, well—that surely is ‘living the life’.” Simon Bull
