About the Item
Artist Comments
"I was inspired by the encouragement that comes when those closest to us seem to speak to our souls when we need it most," says Mel. "The background was layered with a palette knife technique for texture and to represent the passage of time. The bright color palette represents joy and the feeling of a new beginning as a friend or loved one encourages you along the way. The birds are juncos."
