Jason's Inspiration: I was really inspired to make a statement about “Focusing on the Good” in our lives no matter how cracked, uneven, and rough our pasts were, but instead understanding past challenges made us even better for the future so we need to focus on the blessings in our lives with gratitude.

  Inspiration: Finnabair hosted a VIP Live Stream for her Patreons. It was a challenge pushing light and dark on the same piece – I love trying it out although some rusty touches worked their way into mine. 😊 Description : I’ve wanted to do a mixed media with brushes as I’ve seen many wonderful examples. For this piece I chose a very large brush accented with smaller thin brushes. I found it fun using chipboard, mechanicals, found objects and other ephemera.
