Thank you for sharing this, I needed some inspiration this morning!
I've been so bogged down with house upkeeps (I just inherited a home from my late mother). And what has been left to the wayside is any time for art work. It's been my goal to begin this process by the Fall!!! My dining area is now a small workspace because it has the best light & the best view to the back yard. (and daydream) haha
Fellow artists who have been so generous to share their work do make such a difference in the lives of people who have gone through life-changing upheavals! I have felt like a lost soul for the past few years...and am now re-creating my own personal palette of Space! I forget what I have in my midst to use (I was a full time Faux Artist)... And this reminded me that it won't go to waste! www.thefauxchateau.com
In return, if I can ever be of any assistance to others, feel free to contact me :-)

A beautiful piece! I love the colours, the shading, the black grunging. Great tip on using carbon paper to transfer words in your font of choice. Thx.

Thank you, Shawn. I love when I take a class or watch a video and I can find that "pearl" that gives me just what I needed. Love the layers, the floral side by side with edgy grunge.
