Reflecting and creating a super grungy journal page

Oh, the grungy goodness with some super simple supplies and scraping paint back with my palette knife.

I really let loose and just went for it. This came together quickly and I was creating at such a fast pace… but I couldn’t help it… it just all came flowing out.

You see, December is the time as a business owner, I go over the previous year, reflect on what we did right and what we need to change. I reflect on my word for the year and start planning my word and purpose for the new year.

I get concrete plans in place.

But as I started…. I found myself angry…. and then it was almost comical (not really, but weird) as I thought about everything that happened in 2021 it was too much. Too much to hold in…. sooo I almost ran to my journal…. and this is what poured out.

My word for 2021 was “Grounded” even just typing it makes me laugh out loud…. I’ve been a lot of things this year but grounded wasn’t one of them…. more like chaotic!

I share more about it in the video. I hope you can be inspired to let all your things out…. it feels soooo good!

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!
