Yellow is the colour of the season for Peter Dowdall, but he's also partial to every other bright shade

Isn't it funny how our likes change during the seasons? The yellow daffodils in the springtime set our hearts alight with the promise of the upcoming season, and the colour seems to symbolise hope and renewed enthusiasm after the long winter.

A small bit of research shows me that in psychology, the colour yellow represents optimism, energy, joy, happiness, excitement, originality, enthusiasm, confidence, hope, and creativity.
