"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."
