Mixed media layered background with plastic wrap an matte paint Sunday inspiration 8 2 20 

You are so right about how important the little things are. If you remember the really bad Tornado that struck Cookeville Tn. not very long ago. I live about 15 to 20 mins. from where it was the worst & my parents were only 1 or 2 mins away. It was very scary. But a lot of kindness & love came after. And not just from the people in Tn. It came from all over the world & the United States. I was reminded of how much good is really here in this world. I had to point it out to my daughter. She had seemed to be losing a little faith in the kindness of people. You usually only hear news on all the bad that happens. It's sad that it some times takes a tragedy to show how many kind & loving people there are out there. My daughter seemed to be encouraged by all the volunteering & help sooo many people were contributing. The town even had to ask people to stop sending things, due to running out of room to store everything. Not just people but large corporations from all over the world were donating, money & supplies. It was truly amazing, & wonderful. I still keep all the affected families in my prayers. It was a very terrible tragedy. But mankind came threw. And a big Thank You to all. Love the new color pallet. Painting is beautiful TYFS

Such a beautiful collage piece. I love the DR sepia ink. I purchased it after watching your sail boat video and am hooked on it~!!

Love this.

Those colors!! This piece so speaks my language! So. Good. Every bit. 🥰

i love the way this project came out. always wonderful and you are so generous. thank you

Fantastic job, love the colors

its remind me of a poem i wrote once As this day draws to a close Think about what I have achieved The friendships that I have created, maintained and re-established, How my efforts can ripple far and wind, Through what I have said, seen, heard and acted upon. One person can make difference And that person is ME. When I make a small change In my world of self discovery My environment changes That change can be the seed of changing the world.

WOW!! So glad I found you a couple months ago. You are so inspirational. I LOVE the painterly look in your background! The cling wrap and tooth pick techniques are so clever and I will definitely try at some point. Thanks for always sharing your heart!

Hello, I just stumbled onto your channel. What a beautiful and unique piece! I love the layering you did as it gives so much depth to the background. Thank you for sharing your art and your techniques. :)

Love what you did with the India ink

This piece resonated with my soul today. You have a very inspiring ministry with your paints and the words of wisdom in each Sunday episode. I loved everything about the making of this piece. And again I learned so much. I pray you have a great week ahead of you. Thanks for sharing!! :0)

I got lost in it with you. Just stunning!!!

Que belleza ,me encantan

Thanks for sharing❗️

Wow thank you ❤

💖💖💖🤩

Thank you.

what a luscious beauty

This is so beautiful, I love all of the layering and the various techniques you used. ❤

Thankyou

Serene and muted but at the same time the collage on top which at first I didnt like just brought it all together. Super.

I just love watching you work. I am so inspired. Can I ask how you printed the sentiment on tissue? Do you have a special printer? Special paper? TIA

So beautiful and thank you for the freebies! What is the thickness of your board? I am wanting to do a 20x30”

I love this and want to give it a try but I cannot find the collage Pack in your shop or your blog.

Shawn hello happy to come across your chanel. Tried to do the plastic lines. It came out a huge mishmash..can you give a tip ? I have tried to follow your steps looking carefuly how you put the color at a think or thick layer etc.. still came out without lines of scratching..help your scratching looks really fantastic..

What is an mdf board? Love this piece. The more I watch the more I love it. Thanks for always sharing your heart with all of us. I need to watch these more faithfully every Sunday, no fail. I am so glad that Shawna Meuuwsen (I probably spelled that wrong) introduced me to you.

Those deco art paints are beautiful. Do you have a list of the colors you used? Your link in the description box lead me to your blog but not the specific piece.

I love it. The colours are so natural. Can you explain me what is the differenz between Gel Medium and mod potch? Greetings from Germany

This is another lovely project, those colors are really beautiful. If you use your charcoal pens, or I use sometimes soft pastels and spray a thin layer fixative on it, could I use Mod Podge over the whole painting? Thanks again Shawn for your inspirational artwork :)

I just stumbled on your channel. Love this I am interested in your calligraphy quote Can I purchase? Thanks for your inspiration

Did you seal this beauty? If so what did you use?

Your work is beautiful! Do you put any kind of final finish on your paintings? Varnish etc!

This is so beautiful! Would you please tell me where you find the little clips you are using to store your stencils?

Love this colors are beautiful ...looking for list Of those colors where? Looked below ?

Miss Shawn I am in LOVE with this piece!! Will you ever bring this collage pack back onto your subscribers page? If not is there a way I could purchase it?

Absolutely beautiful! Do you know what font you used for the quote?

What kind of tissue paper do you recommend? Yours disappears into the work or is it the medium that makes it appear invisible? Thanks for your videos! I'm learning a new style and love it!

Oh wow what a beautiful message❤️ thanx for sharing your creativity and your heart. I haven’t worked with a collage pack before, very excited about this freebie, thanx for sharing. Is it best to print it with a laser printer or an inkjet? And when you print on tissue paper, do you tape it to copier paper to feed it through the machine? Thanx in advance 🥰

How did you print on tissue paper?

When you come back in to soften, are you using alcohol on your blue wipe??

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

РОССИЯ...👍👍👍❣❣❣

must of been in a hurry? ... spelled Inspiration without the A. Sorry...the visual in me caught it. LOL

This is beautiful. I love what you did here, and finally would like to attempt making it work for me. I've done a few of your online offerings, and was never disappointed. But I have to say, that the word 'grungy' just bothers me when you say that. Grungy is something you see in a roadside gutter or sewer. It reaks of words that were once used to explain a type of Music years ago... Grunge music. Okay, it's had its day. Sort of like the song Frogbass. Cool song, but oh boy...there is something almost evil to it. So my lovely Shawn... Grunge is what I see in my compost pile...but certainly not what I see in my Garden. Maybe weathered, aged? OR let's just make up a NEW Word entirely...? LOL grunge [ɡrənj] NOUN informal grime; dirt. synonyms: grime · dust · soot · smut · muck · mud · filth · mire · sludge · slime · ooze · dross · scum · pollution · waste · smudges · stains · crud · yuck · grot · gunge a style of rock music characterized by a raucous guitar sound and lazy vocal delivery. the fashion associated with grunge rock, including loose, layered clothing and ripped jeans. What is the grunge life style? Heck, I lived in Seattle...so I saw the lifestyle. The grunge lifestyle is about individuality. It is filled with people who want to be known for their words and work instead of adhering to what is expected of them. Through their style, they express this philosophy. They avoid spending too much time on grooming and favor looks that break the molds of society. I suppose I'm going to Challenge you on this - to come up with another way to Express what you are doing here?

Beautiful!
