Mixed media texture and taking a minute to breathe 7-23-23

[@jackiefernandez8080]

I have goosebumps from the climbing rose passage. I've always believed in seasons. Even in the Bible it speaks of seasons- a time to live, a time to die, a time to rest...etc. I really needed to hear that today as the weather of my life is chaotic storms and uncertainty. I am overwhelmed. The message I took away from this, is tomorrow will have a whole new set of problems, joys, ups and downs. So today, I will take on the low hanging fruit, hoping it will propel me into the bigger stuff tomorrow.

That's awesome that you found Petra...I've been watching her for more than a year now and I think she's fabulous ❤...as are you. Check her out every Sunday morning...you'll not regret the time. Some of my favorite videos of her's are the 'coffee ' videos. Thanks again ❤

[@faithisrising]

So lovely to watch you paint…thank you for the music that makes this so soothing. I’m going to look for your Scars video now and I thank you for sharing that inspiration about the climbing rose. ❤

Thanks Linda, so appreciate YOU being here!

[@baxtersmomma]

Thank you Shawn, for sharing your incredible talent, and your beautiful heart with us! This piece is fantastic! Watching you work, and build your art, to just the exact point of beauty, is so awesome! It is mesmerizing to watch you work. 🩷. And thank you for sharing the book, “You Are Only Just Beginning”! I thought it looked similar to one I have…and it is the same author! 🥰 I have, “All Along You Were Blooming”. But I’m getting this one now! I appreciate you so much, you are truly a blessing! 🥰🌸💕🦋

[@BeAgainBooks]

Blew my mind. The color and softness is just yummy.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you Terri! 💜❤💜

[@maryfellows4159]

I love this beautiful piece and so identify with your need to take time to “dilly dally”. I always create lists on top of lists of “to do’s” and sometimes I just have to make myself stop and breathe. I’m so glad you gave yourself permission to do that!

[@cindycreateforlife]

I knew this was going to be good when I saw you holding Petra’s book! I love her work, her calm demeanour and fearless approach to making art! How perfect to have you both together, so to speak! Your message was also very inspiring, we are indeed more alike than different when we take away the facade! Your piece is gorgeous, the finishing touches were mesmerizing to watch! Love my Sunday Inspiration time!💕🇨🇦

[@ShawnPetite]

Cindy, I too love Petra's calming way of teaching! Hugs my friend!

Thank you Sheryl! Thanks for being here!

[@ulrikediederich-kb8po]

Dear Shawn, it touchs me a lot, that you are inspired by Petra Thölken from germany. I am from germany too. You are both, Petra and you, amazing women and you are inspiring me with your art and your wonderful way of thinking. Thank you :)

[@ShawnPetite]

Petra has such a calming effect as she shares her work, Thanks so much for being here!

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

This turned out so beautifully. I think this is one of my favorites you have done so far. The grand finale for me is when you start using your pastel sticks to blend in and soften the colors, and then the charcoal around the border edges. I think that just brings everything together nicely and gives it that pop star look. Thank you for another wonderful Sunday video and sharing your feelings when you create. You are loved right back. 🥰

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you so much! This is my favorite way to create... lots of texture and combining different things. Thanks for being here... Hugs!

Shawn you are such an inspiration for me. Art is truly a way to process difficult emotions. I always look forward to your new videos. Thank you so very much!

Thanks Doreen, art is my most powerful way to process. I can get lost in it and find rest. Thanks for being here!!

[@lynncraft5363]

Thank you Shawn. Your message really resinated with me today. Going through some tough times and you made me feel better with your calming words and inspiration.

[@ShawnPetite]

Lynn, it always give me such great joy when my words can come at the right time. I'm sorry you're going through tough things right now. Take those tough things to the canvas, journal or a piece of paper. It really does help!

[@Genevieve894]

Love the new stencils and how they really work with the background colours! Awesome abstract. ❤
