I came across your and Lilli Of Norway UA-cam channels before Christmas and you both have helped my ''e through some very hard times with covid and loneliness. now you have inspired me to try art but I am afraid to try because I am afraid to fail. Do you have any tips, Wendy?
@@moureend1287 awww, Lilli is lovely she was in my Patreon for a while. My best advice is just to start, with a doodle or a collage or even a colouring page, get your hands moving and the creative juices start to flow, or, perhaps check the Patreon out, link is in the description. All my art process is in there. xx I hope your days are less bumpy, soft hugs x
@@theunexpectedgypsy Yes, you are both lovely and have much in common. talent is among them. Such inspirations! I had not considered coloring pages, maybe that would be good for getting to know lines and such. Thank you. Happy weekend
What lifts my mood - having tea and watching your videos (love the added nature clips!), macro photography (zoom right in) of "weeds"( the tiniest fairies are scolding and insisting on "wildflowers") hoping to capture their magic, cutting simple collages from children's coloured construction paper, painting a loose abstract monochrome (one colour, black and white), putting on TV or videos, pausing it and sketching what is on screen. If I've been making bad art ( like I have for two weeks), reading inspirational quotes, flipping through older journal pages, and trying to get outside (sometimes I have even resorted to going for a swing at the playground - cannot be glum when on a swing off the ground!). So many good ideas in the comments of others too. Knowing that we aren't alone is always a big boost as well. Sending hugs to all, love and light. May all our cups have a spoonful of joy stirred in!
Throughout Covid I’ve been nurture the hurting parts…sitting against a heating pad (Fibro), reaching out to friends, & my kids, watching funny Netflix shows. Since discovering your videos, I’ve been watching them, started a new art journal, began painting again! Totally uplifting the hurt & moods!
6:40 the dancing, moving, and laying down- it’s called “grounding”. It releases energy from the body. You especially feel better if you’ll tension stress in the body. It’s nice that she shows doing it
In the *best way possible* your voice-over’s take me back to the lovely programmes we got to watch in primary school. The tone of your voice & your intonation. So comforting & meditative! Thanks for sharing 💛
I go to the museum or a gallery to lift my spirits. It rejuvenates ideas I may have forgotten and I then write them down. I think the sun and warmer weather energizes me, too. Thanks, Wendy. I'm liking your new, loose work. 💝 --KateColors
You're right. It's always best to follow your heart. Art work comes to life when listening to your heart happens." The earth laughs in flowers" painting looks beautiful!. The background colors and detail in the flowers are vibrant!🌺
heartfelt gratitude for your comment, I'm so glad to hear it helps support you. Soft hugs through your bumpy days and remember, you are definitely not alone xxxxxx
I do lots of different things to ease anxiety, like organizing things, listening to music, walking, and picking flowers for my favorite little vase ♡
I’m so glad you got all the black grudges and snakes out of you and on to paper.... you must feel lighter and Feng Shui your heart away... I’m loving the whole thing your doing!!
We are both fire signs and leftys ❤️ Sunrise and sunsets and sitting outside with my cats spread all around me lifts my mood. Love the drippy flowers you painted and the abstract first layer in pastels. Can’t wait to see what comes next. Have a lovely weekend! ❤️❤️❤️
.....your free painting action is absolutely liberating and brings fresh energy ! "go with the flow" and stay where a swirl seems to be interesting......that is healing and magic at the same time !...thank you for showing and living that !!! ...and many greetings from Hamburg
Thank you so much for charing, your videos lift me up, and help me to feel not so lonely and also help me to feel okay with my craftings, good and bad.
Love your video's they are relaxing and creative and it's nice to see how you cope and push through. I like walk's in the wood's , gardening and my art , as it helps to zone out . Love your free style . thanks ☺️
Watching your videos lifts my spirit. You've hit the nail on the head on so much that I've been experiencing of late. Thank you for inspiring me to embrace the transitions I'm going through on so many levels. Haven't touched my art for a while, but I'm coming around. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I put on my favorite music and dance like no one is watching, listen to uplifting podcasts while I do the dishes and catch up on housekeeping, nurture my plant babies and pets, read my fairy books in a comfy chair with a cuppa dark chocolate, and nap like a cat in a warm puddle of sunshine to cheer myself up...and watch Wendy!
Thank you Wendy for sharing your range of emotions and talking about what you do to embrace them, even when uncomfortable. You bring so many truths to your videos! I enjoy that you can talk to the audience and honor your authenticity of who you are. You are awesome! Beautiful artwork you produce.
I've had a pretty uncomfortable week but yes, I share it all here. Thank you so much for such an uplifting comment and for keeping me company in here. xxxxx
Ideas to get rid of the grumpies. Look at funny videos - laughing is a great way to shoo away Ms. Grump. Gratitude in any form. Releasing the physical pain by knowing this is just my body trying to get my attention. (PS - Acupuncture is so great for nerve pain imho). And watching someone like you paint when I couldn't today - it is so wonderful to see art. Much Love to you, Ms. Wendy, The Unexpected!
You make cutting your own hair look so easy, but I know it would not work out so well for me! I'm going through a bumpy patch with a lot of down moods, so I'm focusing on NOT listening to my thoughts when they come around, just feel the feeling in my body, since the thoughts that go along with it are mostly negative and critical and they make everything worse. I am noticing that when I get in some movement when I'm down, it always lifts my mood. Reaching out to someone and making a connection, even just a text, helps too. Also; writing in my journal, playing with my art supplies, practicing my ukulele (it's such a happy instrument and easy to learn), going outside, or petting my cats. I hope all of our bumpy patches smooth out and give us a break!
Thank you, thank you🙏 for another lovely inspiring video Wendy. I love the colour palate that you are using. I love shades of green and pink. I think its may favourite colours together, heart ❤ chakras 💚💗. When I'm feeling down I listen to my music 🎶 and try to get to the woods near where I live. They are full of birdsong and bluebells at present. Its sometimes a real effort though, isn't it.? But once you have made the effort it is so worth it. Nature is so healing for body and soul, as you all know. Oh, and dancing 💃, of course 😁Love and healing vibes to you Wendy, James and everyone out there .🙋♀️🥰💕💫🧚♀️🙏
Really enjoying your self care suggestions. Legs up the wall! Breathing with intention. Have been in major transitions and these things have been most helpful. Thanks so much for being a big hearted spirit.
I knit to lift my spirits. Working on a pink multi colored sweater these days with fuschia mohair in it. I adore sections of it. I finally knit sweaters for myself after years of knitting for others. Thanks for keeping ME company this sad evening. I can’t get into my art these days. And it is so hot in Montreal right now. Waiting for the temperature to drop by Thursday hopefully.
After so much craziness, health, meteorological and political drama, etc., of the past 18 mos, and the loss of both parents in the years prior, I'm worn out. It helps to check in and watch your videos daily (catching up bit by bit), and be reminded we all need to "put on our oxygen masks" and practice self care, self love, and go easy when we need to. SOmething else I do for self care is homemade mineral baths and starting each weekday with Doggy Daycare Farm Trips, Sherpa (husky) and Keyush (Sherpa's bff, also husky) UA-cam channels. Their floofy antics always boost my spirits. Grateful to be an adaptive Pisces, bc I'm doing a lot of adapting lately, out of necessity. Please continue being you and making these wonderful videos. Bright blessings.
I am so grateful I found this video today, you helped me cut through the funk and take gentle care of myself, I was able to face the day after some gentle TLC & tidied & rearranging my art space so it works perfectly for me ❤ many bright blessings dear creative soul xxxx
I think creative people all have down days, I know I do, and in those days I feel some kind of rejuvenating takes place. I try to see it that way and process how I'm going to change the way I'm working, if that's what is coming, or altering a piece that is not coming together just yet. I had a break thru after my last 'quiet' day and as your wonderful wall quote reminds, inspiration did find me while we are working. TY for your nice calming videos. My best thoughts to you and James.
A gratitude list either mentally or on paper helps me put it all in perspective . Gardening in the quiet also helps me tremendously. Thank you for being so real.
I used to go on long walks but I have to have my second knee replacement done in July, so walking is painful. Supper sad about that and just can't wait for this part of my life to be over. Then small walks and I even have a really beautiful umbrella that bright red with flowers on it for sunny or rainy days. I feel better just being under it. But mostly I paint because of the the knee injuries right now. Painting takes me out of a bad head space. So I have new supplies because I have to be ready for this surgery and hopefully creative time. Thanks for your channel and sharing your art journey with me. You were my inspiration darling. Hugs a kisses to you darling. Thanks for everything.
when i need inspiration, i watch your videos :o) this week, my little kitchen received a spring-cleaning ... it had bothered me for quite some time ... the chore kept nibbling at my thoughts, getting in the way of my creativity ... i knew it had to be done but i just did not want to (*stomping my foot*) .... i went on craigslist and found a local woman advertising her cleaning skills, i called her, she came within a couple days, she spent a few hours getting in the nooks & crannies and it was done! what a relief! not only was my mood improved 100% but i was able to support a single mother in her efforts to work independently ... and we had a lovely conversation .... it was a win-win ....
Hello dear friend, Thank you for sharing your time. Your amazing studio, your artistic talent and inspiration such an amazing joy. Yes, indeed, be intent on what/who you follow. Oh how I can hardly wait to get my tools. I’m ready for my watercolor painting 🌸 My dear husband had a massive heart attack May 10. Home on 26 May. Having adult children living so far away leaves me ( who has autoimmune disease that causes me fatigue) caring for his needs. Leaving me with little time in my journal / art studio. Now I have a schedule so I get time with my video with my most favorite artistic inspiration, Wendy and with my joyous time creating new☀️🦋
Wendy I love your honesty and you love care of self. You look more relaxed and refreshed. Love toy journal pages and you paintings are coming along nicely. Good job on rearranging the art/paint area. Love all your windows . Sending you positive vibes and live.
Your vlogs cheer my soul.......I loved your happy spirit in this one and your fun inner child, I think my inner child has skipped out on me for the moment. Positive love Olive 🎨✒️🪄🖍🖌✒️📝❤️💋
Some wonderful suggestions here for lifting our moods. I love spending time in my garden, cuddling my cat and reading. I also love to take a bath and use essential oils and generally I’ll watch art videos like yours Wendy! Always helps.
I love the shower True about the shower love that is just a way to let go and wash all down the drain. Thanks so much for the beautiful nature shots such a beautiful are you live in. I also agree with not scrolling to much as some how it is in our nature to start comparing our selves other than just loving what we are doing. Love your work is beautiful just as you are
Love love the colors in this week’s paintings. The greens in the background are uplifting and the flower colors gorgeous! Look forward every week to your new video.
Thank you for sharing all your lovely new work, Wendy. I've been spending alot of time outside at night this week, watching the moon, recharging myself, all my crystals, jewellery and magical tools...so that never fails to make me feel good 😍 Hope your hip continues to get better. Untill the next cuppa, blessings! 😙
Hey Wendy... It's treat getting your video on every Friday.. I'm still learning to deal with my 'feeling low'... I still am understanding myself... And know myself.. Keep making such beautiful videos.. It's like a breath of fresh air.. You are a breath of fresh air.. And inspiring. Thank you. 😊💙💙
when im really low, i eat jaffa cakes, its my go to, just lifts me to 'wait' for it to pass...( i rarely have to buy them !).....and cuppa herbal tea, lay down , do wim hoff breathes always works to shift the energy for me, also a lil walk /stand somewhere outside, pref close to greenery...lovely video....thankyou *X*
I gave myself a little trim yesterday and I feel lighter and brighter...even younger. Your videos and energy are so refreshing, even when you share honestly about your struggles. I love your new summery palette.
Music does it for me - I have a playlist I’ve listened to for years, and usually end up dancing - getting lost in the music is a mood lifter for me - thanks for another great video 🌺 🐝
I walk out to my pond with my hubby and/or little dog Charlie. We watch fish jump in the pond, frogs and peepers singing in the background. If we're very still and quiet we see the deer come to the pond to drink. Or a blue heron will land and wade around. Sometimes, if it's a chilly morning or evening, I build a small fire in the fire pit and sit by it. It sweeps the cobwebs away and allows my mind to open up.
You are so cute! I relax and cheer up watching you! You are naturally refreshing! What a gift to this world you are! The evil in our world seems non-existent in your world. Thanks for sharing your life and lovely art with us! Big hug from across the pond!
You are so inspiring! I love your workspace and your beautiful work! Lots of great ideas. I'm going to tape a protective sheet to my floor. Never thought of protecting it that way! Love your energy! Thanks for all you share. Much love, from Niki - way down the bottom of Australia. ❤💐
I think it's so very important to take care of yourself. I feel solace in water, whether it's a nice shower or a swim. I cut my own hair too unless I have someone here who will do a nice straight cut. I like your background piece. It reminds me of feathers! Music is my go to mood lifter!
It's good to see your loosening up pieces Wendy. I have a long list of things to do that cheer me up. Lately I go out to my lime tree smell the limes and crush leaves. The fragrance is do fresh. Sometimes zo smudge with green rosemary
Thank you for another inspiring video! I will try the loose artjournaling combined with words of gratitude. To get some extra power I meet friends. We do some painting together, talking about books or just drink tea. And every Friday I look at a new inspiring video of an artist who is like a friend to me meanwhile... Have a good and creative week! 🎨❤️
Love the dripsy vertically executed work it suits you,coloured fluid water is so naturally flowing and helps us relax in our work,do not forgert to draw on your oracle cards for guidance and prop them up to look at during the day ,I think your studio looks wonderful it is starting to blend in with you as the practical layout developes,do not be too hard on yourself just go with the flow of life,if you feel like painting then really go for it otherwise leave alone for a day or two,love those walks in nature and do not forget to hug your favourite tree,it is waiting for your love as it observes you on your nature trails,love to you both.
Listening to music, singing,dancing ,nature walking, reading, having a cuppa, doing puzzles and talking with a loved one are some of the things I like to do to take a break and help lift my spirits also watching and listening to you also elevates my mood and makes me feel happy and validated. 🥰
Good afternoon Wendy, I love the painting behind you with the roses 🌹. Rivers are my favourite place, to watch them flowing free , trees 🌳 and birds and nature. Glade you are feeling a little better , take care of yourself, keep your light bright. Big soft hugs Teresa xx
Thank you so much for youre positive energy to share youre thoughts about the lockdown experience. And all the other inspiring aspects of artistlife. I make art if i have the time, its my happy place too. not always easy when you work en take care of everything. love youre videos to drink coffee with. Take care lots of love.xxx
I was having a lackluster day pretty much;then I turned on your video and saw your fabulous new pieces:so cheery!.....and I love the color combos!I think we all needed this after the past year!🥳💚💗💙
LOVE LOVE LOVE watching You videos ... the outside shots are DIVINE thanks for taking us along with You and James , I found the Full Moon was amazing but also very intense so it is a great idea to go BE KIND to myself(this Crab was very grumpy for the last few days especially as it was Super Moon eclipse in Sagittarius ...it may have made me a bit steamy ) ...and part of that is watching comedy, dancing about while doing the House Care .going to bed early as I love going into the Dreamworld ....and of course watching this ... Bright Blessings xx ps just washed my locks today and thinking about giving myself a trim as it is a bit Mermaidy hahaha
When I need to lift up my spirits, I make myself some tea, watch a favourite movie or series and do some crafting, like knitting, crocheting, embroidery on the side. Hm, come to think of it, I do that every day anyway, lol. I guess it is some kind of prevention program, haha. But I know, what I love and like and what makes me feel good and that is a great relief and comfort. I also enjoy watching fashion videos, but of women that promote personal style and not fast fashion. I love to watch documentaries as well, preferably biographies of great men and women like C.S. Lewis, Agatha Christie, Beatrix Potter, J.R. Tolkien, Jane Austin, The Brontè sisters, and so on. Or I love to watch old TV series from my childhood, such as Catweazle, All Creatures Great and Small, Upstairs, Downstairs and so on. :-) Yepp, we did watch those last mentioned shows in Germany just as enthusiastically as people in Britain, lol. ;-) I know I did. :-) I sound like an old couch potatoe, haha. But these really are the things that I can rely on to make me feel good. I occasionally go for walks around our beautiful lake amidst the Schurwald Forest here and it`s magical paths. We even have a Fairy Tale path, with a wishing well, giant mushrooms carved out of wood, even a dragon, which was crafted and carved out of a huge tree, magic mirrors and thrones for kings and queens, labyrinths, all made out of trees and trunks. It is so magical at our Lake, called Herrenbachstausee. Huggs and blessings from Rose-Cottage.
I love your honesty and truth, thank you for sharing,, yes, it's so good to cold chill and couch when needed!! I love the sound of the Fairy Tale path, much love to you in Rose Cottage, TY for being here, keeping me company xxx
Thank you , I needed it 😔. I am so happy you are feeling better. I love your videos. I love Nature, but it’s hard for me to get out because I’m sick and use a wheelchair. Peace and Love ✨💫. I think your paintings are so calming and beautiful.
So if i’m not feeling great, I have a library of films/tv shows that will make me cry within mins. I find a really good cry releases all the energy built up in my system and everything feels a lot lighter!
Lovely video & insights Wendy 🌞 thank you for making me smile. Especially the home barbers, I have cut my own hair for over 10yrs 🤣 I might need to adopt some techniques 💖🌈
You're really I won't say moving forward it's just that you're evolving and I love the artwork you're doing right now! Your journey is truly uplifting and encouraging.
I am just gettin around to watchin you 2 days later! While I cut poster board in half to nail up adverts on telephone poles about Oracle Cards Readings by Donation I do under a tent in good weather. My dad doesn't want anyone on his driveway but I asked if i could do it in front of out big hedges by the sidewalk. he agreed. that is where I will have a sidewalk sale too. for clothing I don't want or never worn, in 2 years! OR even art that hasn't sold or my art table cuz if I move and I plan too... that table won't fit in my small car with 2 pets and whatever else I have downsized--- even if I eventually get a thingy for my car [ roof rack]... so I am here living through you :-). I haven't drawn in lots of months jut due to coming up with ways I might sell my art online, a growing interest in crystals and oracle reading which is like saying: gettin in touch with psychic ability...but the art and wanting to do art or writing etc is still there --- just home life with my father has been a bit confining. plus awaiting gov. stipends and lived off credit cards. Our mask " enforcement" lifted here yesterday. I hardly EVER EVER wore a mask except in the beginning a tiny--- BECAUSE I KNOW whats going on... I was down the rabbit hole. SO Please. DO YOUR BEST TO NOT BE scared and all that other. NO MATTER The appearance IT IS A LIE and loads of TRUTH is SHOWING UP and out...if you never looked of course you don't know except as a senstive woman you know stuff is or has been WAY "off" U just be your pretty self and lovely reporter and painter---- WE love I love that you show UP!!! THANKS I really wish I could ask more questions. I know I will probably join yr Patreon. I say I will, then I forget bc of not working. BUT I do think that is about to change! I am one of those Patriots who knows a bunch of this and that... and whose family did not relate to me for this whole time ALTHOUGH they never did anyways. THEY wanted me to fit in to their idea of reality.... HUGS TO ALL THE GROUP HERE and JAMES as well!!! I would like A James In my Life. LOL
I get that The new movie was so beautiful when he went through the hole in tree the magical moments and how they love each other The balloon cried watching the movie
I also needed a lift. You inspire me to start painting again. I always put it off and I am NOT going to anymore. I have to just start. Thank you. Amy 💜
Oh good!! You can totally do it!! Make a pile of bad art and celebrate everything and in amongst it all will be breakthroughs and the magic will happen!! xx
🌹🌷Thank you so much for watching, beautiful bright beings. Big Love Xxx

I used to go on long walks but I have to have my second knee replacement done in July, so walking is painful. Supper sad about that and just can't wait for this part of my life to be over. Then small walks and I even have a really beautiful umbrella that bright red with flowers on it for sunny or rainy days. I feel better just being under it. But mostly I paint because of the the knee injuries right now. Painting takes me out of a bad head space. So I have new supplies because I have to be ready for this surgery and hopefully creative time. Thanks for your channel and sharing your art journey with me. You were my inspiration darling. Hugs a kisses to you darling. Thanks for everything.
To lift my spirits I just make myself laugh and smile 😊🤣😂 it helps to increase your endorphins x
Like the loose flowers on light background. I have set up my living room so I can work easier and it flows more. Thanks for sharing.
I made blueberry cornmeal muffins to have with the morning coffee. They were delightful on a cold and rainy Saturday morning. Thanks for asking!
when i need inspiration, i watch your videos :o)
this week, my little kitchen received a spring-cleaning ... it had bothered me for quite some time ... the chore kept nibbling at my thoughts, getting in the way of my creativity ... i knew it had to be done but i just did not want to (*stomping my foot*) .... i went on craigslist and found a local woman advertising her cleaning skills, i called her, she came within a couple days, she spent a few hours getting in the nooks & crannies and it was done! what a relief! not only was my mood improved 100% but i was able to support a single mother in her efforts to work independently ... and we had a lovely conversation .... it was a win-win ....
Hello dear friend, Thank you for sharing your time. Your amazing studio, your artistic talent and inspiration such an amazing joy. Yes, indeed, be intent on what/who you follow. Oh how I can hardly wait to get my tools. I’m ready for my watercolor painting 🌸
My dear husband had a massive heart attack May 10. Home on 26 May. Having adult children living so far away leaves me ( who has autoimmune disease that causes me fatigue) caring for his needs. Leaving me with little time in my journal / art studio. Now I have a schedule so I get time with my video with my most favorite artistic inspiration, Wendy and with my joyous time creating new☀️🦋
Soft hugs and hope he recovers real soon 😙😙😙
Wendy I love your honesty and you love care of self. You look more relaxed and refreshed. Love toy journal pages and you paintings are coming along nicely. Good job on rearranging the art/paint area. Love all your windows . Sending you positive vibes and live.
Your vlogs cheer my soul.......I loved your happy spirit in this one and your fun inner child, I think my inner child has skipped out on me for the moment. Positive love Olive 🎨✒️🪄🖍🖌✒️📝❤️💋
Some wonderful suggestions here for lifting our moods. I love spending time in my garden, cuddling my cat and reading. I also love to take a bath and use essential oils and generally I’ll watch art videos like yours Wendy! Always helps.
Lovely video Wendy..what cheers me up or makes me relax...feeding ine birds in our garden then taking photos of them..also watching you on UA-cam🥰🤗
I love the shower True about the shower love that is just a way to let go and wash all down the drain. Thanks so much for the beautiful nature shots such a beautiful are you live in. I also agree with not scrolling to much as some how it is in our nature to start comparing our selves other than just loving what we are doing. Love your work is beautiful just as you are
Love love the colors in this week’s paintings. The greens in the background are uplifting and the flower colors gorgeous! Look forward every week to your new video.
Extremely grateful for today’s video. Going through a difficult phase myself and hearing you share has helped me. Grateful. Love and light ✨💕🙏🏻
So heart-warmed to hear that your spirits were lifted, softest hugs for you in your bumpy days... xxxx Much love x
Your videos makes my mood better everytime! And watching you paint is soo soothing. Love the colors you used on todays artworks😍💕😘🦋
Thank you for sharing all your lovely new work, Wendy. I've been spending alot of time outside at night this week, watching the moon, recharging myself, all my crystals, jewellery and magical tools...so that never fails to make me feel good 😍 Hope your hip continues to get better. Untill the next cuppa, blessings! 😙

I gave myself a little trim yesterday and I feel lighter and brighter...even younger. Your videos and energy are so refreshing, even when you share honestly about your struggles. I love your new summery palette.
Bonjour Wendy! Love your painting with blue and green beautiful colors. I feel you full energy good for creation. Have good time! Louise xx
Always an absolute gift & Blessing to see your beautiful smile Wendy...so much Love to you & James 💖 Thankyou for being here 🙏🌈💖
Music does it for me - I have a playlist I’ve listened to for years, and usually end up dancing - getting lost in the music is a mood lifter for me - thanks for another great video 🌺 🐝
Music is amazing yes! love it! Thanks for watching and keeping me company!! xx
I walk out to my pond with my hubby and/or little dog Charlie. We watch fish jump in the pond, frogs and peepers singing in the background. If we're very still and quiet we see the deer come to the pond to drink. Or a blue heron will land and wade around. Sometimes, if it's a chilly morning or evening, I build a small fire in the fire pit and sit by it. It sweeps the cobwebs away and allows my mind to open up.
Hi Marti, xx All of nature all around you! Sounds amazing xxxx Fire is also a great mood changer, even gazing into a candle,,, softest hugs, xxxx
You are so cute!
I relax and cheer up watching you! You are naturally refreshing! What a gift to this world you are! The evil in our world seems non-existent in your world. Thanks for sharing your life and lovely art with us!
Big hug from across the pond!
Reading, gardening, cup of tea and my art journal.
Oh Wendy, your loving oneself tips are exactly what I needed to hear today 😊😘 and ever day…. ❤️ sending you tons of love 😊🥰
I watch your Chanel 😏 as I feel your personality is calming and soothing . Thanks 🙏
I lovvv your heart and deal with us.. Much appreciated.. Sunshine love from South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
You are so inspiring! I love your workspace and your beautiful work! Lots of great ideas. I'm going to tape a protective sheet to my floor. Never thought of protecting it that way! Love your energy! Thanks for all you share. Much love, from Niki - way down the bottom of Australia. ❤💐
I think it's so very important to take care of yourself. I feel solace in water, whether it's a nice shower or a swim. I cut my own hair too unless I have someone here who will do a nice straight cut.
I like your background piece. It reminds me of feathers!
Music is my go to mood lifter!
Thank you! And yes, so true. water is such a healer. xx
as always....love your video and feeling blessed that you have shared ...I burn incense and sketch or read
Thank you for sharing. You are living art.
It's good to see your loosening up pieces Wendy. I have a long list of things to do that cheer me up. Lately I go out to my lime tree smell the limes and crush leaves. The fragrance is do fresh. Sometimes zo smudge with green rosemary
Thank you for another inspiring video! I will try the loose artjournaling combined with words of gratitude.
To get some extra power I meet friends. We do some painting together, talking about books or just drink tea.
And every Friday I look at a new inspiring video of an artist who is like a friend to me meanwhile...
Have a good and creative week! 🎨❤️
Time in nature always helps, nice food, music. It's best, I find to have lots of 'go to's' then at least one of them will work! Thank you Wendy x💖🌈
….and you choose the perfect songs and music too! 💕😊🥰❤️
Love the dripsy vertically executed work it suits you,coloured fluid water is so naturally flowing and helps us relax in our work,do not forgert to draw on your oracle cards for guidance and prop them up to look at during the day ,I think your studio looks wonderful it is starting to blend in with you as the practical layout developes,do not be too hard on yourself just go with the flow of life,if you feel like painting then really go for it otherwise leave alone for a day or two,love those walks in nature and do not forget to hug your favourite tree,it is waiting for your love as it observes you on your nature trails,love to you both.
So glad I found you 💜 this is exactly what I needed!
Listening to music, singing,dancing ,nature walking, reading, having a cuppa, doing puzzles and talking with a loved one are some of the things I like to do to take a break and help lift my spirits also watching and listening to you also elevates my mood and makes me feel happy and validated. 🥰
Good afternoon Wendy, I love the painting behind you with the roses 🌹. Rivers are my favourite place, to watch them flowing free , trees 🌳 and birds and nature. Glade you are feeling a little better , take care of yourself, keep your light bright. Big soft hugs Teresa xx
Thank you Teresa, Big soft hugs to you too xxx

Oh, I want to do some loose painting this week! Looks so fun xo
Yay!! xxxx do it!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE watching You videos ... the outside shots are DIVINE thanks for taking us along with You and James , I found the Full Moon was amazing but also very intense so it is a great idea to go BE KIND to myself(this Crab was very grumpy for the last few days especially as it was Super Moon eclipse in Sagittarius ...it may have made me a bit steamy ) ...and part of that is watching comedy, dancing about while doing the House Care .going to bed early as I love going into the Dreamworld ....and of course watching this ... Bright Blessings xx ps just washed my locks today and thinking about giving myself a trim as it is a bit Mermaidy hahaha
Loved todays video. Keep smiling.
Thanks Wendy for today.im in my studio painting and locking at your video.have a Nice weekend.love.Viveka 🥰😘
Yay! Have a great weekend too Viveka xxxx lots of love
When I need to lift up my spirits, I make myself some tea, watch a favourite movie or series and do some crafting, like knitting, crocheting, embroidery on the side. Hm, come to think of it, I do that every day anyway, lol. I guess it is some kind of prevention program, haha. But I know, what I love and like and what makes me feel good and that is a great relief and comfort. I also enjoy watching fashion videos, but of women that promote personal style and not fast fashion. I love to watch documentaries as well, preferably biographies of great men and women like C.S. Lewis, Agatha Christie, Beatrix Potter, J.R. Tolkien, Jane Austin, The Brontè sisters, and so on. Or I love to watch old TV series from my childhood, such as Catweazle, All Creatures Great and Small, Upstairs, Downstairs and so on. :-) Yepp, we did watch those last mentioned shows in Germany just as enthusiastically as people in Britain, lol. ;-) I know I did. :-) I sound like an old couch potatoe, haha. But these really are the things that I can rely on to make me feel good. I occasionally go for walks around our beautiful lake amidst the Schurwald Forest here and it`s magical paths. We even have a Fairy Tale path, with a wishing well, giant mushrooms carved out of wood, even a dragon, which was crafted and carved out of a huge tree, magic mirrors and thrones for kings and queens, labyrinths, all made out of trees and trunks. It is so magical at our Lake, called Herrenbachstausee.
Huggs and blessings from Rose-Cottage.
I love your honesty and truth, thank you for sharing,, yes, it's so good to cold chill and couch when needed!! I love the sound of the Fairy Tale path, much love to you in Rose Cottage, TY for being here, keeping me company xxx
Catweazel!!!! Yes loved that as a child ..even have a book ..so Magical x
Thank you for being you
Thank you , I needed it 😔. I am so happy you are feeling better. I love your videos. I love Nature, but it’s hard for me to get out because I’m sick and use a wheelchair. Peace and Love ✨💫. I think your paintings are so calming and beautiful.
Thank you Moondance, sorry it's hard for you to get out. Much peace and soft hugs to you xx
Lovely video! Your art is so beautiful and has such a positive energy and vibe that flows out of it.
Thank you so much Jennifer xxx
So if i’m not feeling great, I have a library of films/tv shows that will make me cry within mins. I find a really good cry releases all the energy built up in my system and everything feels a lot lighter!
The vibe reminds me of Zoe sugg vlogs. I was actually wanting to find more of her type of personality vlogs on UA-cam. This is a great chill channel
Your videos are a feast for the eyes♥️
TY xxx I'm so happy your eyes enjoy them!
I love watch you when I rest for a while
You lifted my spirit in a hard time. Thank you so much! The last work you showed did me think of feathers.
So glad to hear that it helped lif your spirits, soft hugs in your bumpy times. xxxxxxxxx
Lovely video & insights Wendy 🌞 thank you for making me smile. Especially the home barbers, I have cut my own hair for over 10yrs 🤣 I might need to adopt some techniques 💖🌈
Love the new paintings they fell light and full of life😌
You're really I won't say moving forward it's just that you're evolving and I love the artwork you're doing right now! Your journey is truly uplifting and encouraging.
I am just gettin around to watchin you 2 days later! While I cut poster board in half to nail up adverts on telephone poles about Oracle Cards Readings by Donation I do under a tent in good weather. My dad doesn't want anyone on his driveway but I asked if i could do it in front of out big hedges by the sidewalk. he agreed. that is where I will have a sidewalk sale too. for clothing I don't want or never worn, in 2 years! OR even art that hasn't sold or my art table cuz if I move and I plan too... that table won't fit in my small car with 2 pets and whatever else I have downsized--- even if I eventually get a thingy for my car [ roof rack]... so I am here living through you :-). I haven't drawn in lots of months jut due to coming up with ways I might sell my art online, a growing interest in crystals and oracle reading which is like saying: gettin in touch with psychic ability...but the art and wanting to do art or writing etc is still there --- just home life with my father has been a bit confining. plus awaiting gov. stipends and lived off credit cards. Our mask " enforcement" lifted here yesterday. I hardly EVER EVER wore a mask except in the beginning a tiny--- BECAUSE I KNOW whats going on... I was down the rabbit hole. SO Please. DO YOUR BEST TO NOT BE scared and all that other. NO MATTER The appearance IT IS A LIE and loads of TRUTH is SHOWING UP and out...if you never looked of course you don't know except as a senstive woman you know stuff is or has been WAY "off" U just be your pretty self and lovely reporter and painter---- WE love I love that you show UP!!! THANKS I really wish I could ask more questions. I know I will probably join yr Patreon. I say I will, then I forget bc of not working. BUT I do think that is about to change! I am one of those Patriots who knows a bunch of this and that... and whose family did not relate to me for this whole time ALTHOUGH they never did anyways. THEY wanted me to fit in to their idea of reality.... HUGS TO ALL THE GROUP HERE and JAMES as well!!! I would like A James In my Life. LOL
So love these new paintings 💕
Spring seems to bring out a healing. Enjoyed seeing you up in the tree like Winney the Poo.
I get that
The new movie was so beautiful when he went through the hole in tree the magical moments and how they love each other
The balloon cried watching the movie
I also needed a lift. You inspire me to start painting again. I always put it off and I am NOT going to anymore. I have to just start.
Thank you.
Amy 💜
Oh good!! You can totally do it!! Make a pile of bad art and celebrate everything and in amongst it all will be breakthroughs and the magic will happen!! xx
@@theunexpectedgypsy thank you, I appreciate it. I'll keep in touch.
Any💚
