Painted Tranquility

As soon as I saw the inspiration painting (Summer Lock by Frank Ettenberg, actual painting image longer found online), I immediately started thinking about calm and peacefulness and tranquility. I thought it would be cool to incorporate the words into the brush strokes that feature so prominently in actual work, but I couldn’t figure out how to do them. Then I stumbled across a painted brush strokes brush set this weekend, and I knew it was meant to be.
