Simple sunflowers and taking a break Sunday inspiration 8-22-21

I created a quick and simple sunflower piece today.

I got lots of depth with the fun collage papers and then used my stencils as my guide. This is always a great way to get started without having to think too much.

I also want to let you know that I’ll be taking a break from Sunday inspiration for a week (hopefully).

With back-to-back things (stencil launch, workshops, birthday week, membership site launch), this mama is tired!

I need to practice what I preach and rest. So I’m gonna take a bit of time off.

I’ll still be in the membership creating fun things but will have a little space to just be, read, play, and paint just for me (that’s the plan anyway).

Hope you have fun watching the video and this week…. be sure to take care of YOU!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
