The blending in the background is amazing. The light, the dark. Love the whole project. One of your best.

[@ShawnPetite]

Yes the blending! So fun! Every creative risk we take teaches us something! Thaks for watching!

[@Graciela_Ibarra83]

Whether a project comes out the way you would like, you show up regardless. Making a video, posting it on KZbin to present to us is amazing!! We see you show up. We learn. Thank you for that. Congratulations on your great talent. 👏

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you so much! and thanks for such kind words, so glad you're here!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Wow, Shawn, this is so beautiful! Every layer you added to the flowers made them even better. When you added the teal color to the background it completely enhanced the whole. I’ve watched you from the beginning of your Utube channel and the work you’re doing this year shows how much you have evolved and grown in your artistic skills. I’m blown away.

[@mboy639]

Bravo for walking into your fear especially in such a public forum 👏. Fear is in place for us to confront and grow from the experience and what you are doing is a beautiful example.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you! You're right making mistakes and messes in the quiet of my studio is pretty normal, but allowing everyone to see ... yikes.... but better to let everyone know that we are all the same. It just might encourage one more person to pick up a brush!

[@joanneb6032]

This is beautiful. Seeing more of your process behind the scenes and your vulnerability are such an inspiration! Thank you! I love it.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank so much Joanne, so glad it inspired you! Have a great week!

[@cindycreateforlife]

I would say that you nailed it Shawn! Oh my, it is just so delicious, texture galore, movement, depth, it’s a symphony! Thank you for sharing your journey to get there, you are so encouraging and honest and that is why you are a big part of my courage to paint, the belief in myself that I needed to be nurtured! 💕🙏🏼🇨🇦

[@ShawnPetite]

Cindy, you always have the right words of encouragement for me! That's why I started Sunda inspiration 10 years ago, was to be able to give someone, the courage to paint! Hugs my friend!

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Shawn, thank you so very much for sharing the rawness of your process. Your creativity, style, and openness is so refreshing and motivates me beyond words! ❤️🦋🥰❤️🦋🫶🏽

[@ShawnPetite]

Lisa, I'm so happy that my process can give you inspiration and motivation! Thanks for you encouraging words! Hugs!

[@janetcahill4891]

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you, my fellow yummy goodness creator! Hope you are well! Hugs!

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

This is beautiful. One of my favorites so far. I love that custom mixed teal very much. ❤

[@ShawnPetite]

I love that color too! I don't know if I'll ever be able to create it again :/ I didn't save the recipe. Thanks for being here and I hope you have a great week!

[@CarolynGabos]

I love this painting, Shawn.... you give me so much encouragement to loosen up my paint strokes!

[@cathypainter7429]

Absolutely beautiful

[@farrellsnotebook]

Wow. This one is special 🥹

[@EarthlyJoys-LMG]

Breathtaking ❤

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks so much and thanks for being here!

[@elizecoetsee6285]

Beautiful.

[@andreaharley4047]

Beautiful Shawn ❤

[@kellylea3575]

Beautiful piece Shawn. Maybe it's just me.... but I cant stop seeing this as a bed of flowers on a grave. Not to be morbid, but beautifully mysterious and haunting....

[@ShawnPetite]

wow, never thought of that, but I can see it now that you said it. Great observation! Have a great week!

[@janinafisher101]

I totally love that rough textured background that you created in your sketchbook. I also love that rustic painting with the chair. This was an interesting painting to watch evolve... it's a fabulous process. I didn't hear you say in the end whether you achieved that look that you were after. I hope you did... it's lovely!

[@ShawnPetite]

I loved the background in my journal! It will make it's way to another project. I was close to what I wanted, but not as free in the placement of my flowers as I wanted. But a step closer, and that's how it works, we learn each time we create. Thanks for being here!

[@janinafisher101]

@ShawnPetite Totally my pleasure being part of your YT "family!"👍💝

[@Georgiacosmahrocks]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!

[@ShawnPetite]

💓💓💓

[@amyferrellart]

Love watching this come to life. I want to learn to paint and create this way. I am going to start an art journal to practice. ❤❤thank you.

[@debraprescott8950]

So beautiful! I loved watching you create those flowers so loosely... I am still trying to get away from my attention to "details" because it actually ends up making my work look unrealistic. Your loose form is so soft... brilliant! ❤

[@ShawnPetite]

It definitely took me out of my comfort zone, but that's where all the good stuff happens. Happy Monday friend!

[@susanjerrell9220]

You've been hiding your painting talents! But with the small extra bits, the whole project is simply stunning. I LOVE it!! You never know why you love something. You just do. 💖

[@ShawnPetite]

I love that - "You never know why you love something, you just do!" I may have to use that in a project! Thanks so much and have a great week!

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

This is amazing and beautiful as always. You’re so inspiring! I have definitely taken more risks in my art since watching you! These Sunday videos really are wonderful. Thank you!

[@ShawnPetite]

You're so king thank you! So glad your here!

[@lynchdavid8104]

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Gorgeous ❤ at 23:14, was that water or alcohol you spritzed on?

[@ShawnPetite]

It's just water :)
