Have you thought of doing a book of the chateau with just paintings and drawings of scenes around and in the chateau. eg. glass house, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, front door, chapel, cottage door etc. It would be amazing and not intrusive like photographs might be. It could have little captions or paragraphs about them.
@Nadean Simmons I agree, what a wonderful idea! Michael is so talented, it would be great to have an artists impression of the Chateau & surroundings...especially the resident artist who actually lives at the Chateau! 💕💕
Michael, you might want to have Ryan disable the "save as" option on your artwork, and water mark it with your name over the image on the web site, of course the prints won't have the water mark when people buy them. It is better for people to buy the prints from you, than save and copy to print at home.
Is there no end to your talents, Michael?! Incredible. You can draw, paint, sow, cook, play the piano, DIY, vlog/edit, do make up and hair etc.. And all of that on a really high level. It's a joy, watching you. Regards from The Netherlands!
After Billy cleans the chapel, like the beautiful chateau, the peach ,amber sunset glow on the chapel would be a lovely watercolour,just a suggestion! Maybe some daffodils in the foreground also would be stunning! Good job today,Michael.Love to see you paint!Art will never fail.
YES sadly happens lots DO it sooner than later Charlie Mackesy had big problems people doing that even printing up tshirts with his art of the boy, the horsr, fox and mole
Your Dad is my hero. Horse fences, cobblestones, and wall panelling. He is helping everyone! Your drawings are amazing, I hope you will be well rewarded for your artistic talent and enjoy much success.
I'm glad you were able to get a website to sell your prints. You have such a talent! I'm sure it will be a success. I wonder if you might sketch Sadie's horses, Queenie and Elsa? That would be a great print. Look forward to your future art projects.
I cannot wait to see how you decorate upstairs. It's going to be awesome because you are so artistic. Glad to see movement and to see you on your own channel again. I know we all missed you.
What after everybody else has done the hard graft. And is 'Steve' being paid out of the money you got for doing up the cottage? Or are your family 'doing it themselves' (again). Perhaps rename your channel to "Watching my family doing. it themselves!?:
@@eileengeldard323 don't be so bloody horrible. Michael has done plenty for his family and he is the reason they all have channels. Have you even watched all of his videos? Every human has a block and needs help sometime in their life and this is what family is all about. Unless of course they are all perfect like you. If you don't like a video there's no need to be bloody nasty. Just buggeroff and watch something else you piece of nasty.
Michael… Your paintings look great!!! How nice that you and Ryan were able to work together! I think you could write a book… the mouse that lived in the chateau! So excited for the progress in the gardener’s cottage! 💕
My daughter loves foxes, however I did order the bee...but I'm coming back for the foxes for her room. Thank you again so much for sharing your gift with us again!
I’m so happy to have bought one of your prints Michael. It will hang in pride of place & I will treasure it ☺️ Its so wonderful to see you painting again. I loved watching you, you have an amazing talent 🥰 Little mouse wants to be sketched I think 😊 Ryan did a fantastic job on your website 👏
A suggestion for a print could be of the pony Elsa that lives at the Estate now. I know your viewers would love having a part of the Estate hanging in their homes.
Dearest Michael, The Lord has blessed you. I am humbled to have eyesight to see the beauty of your work. May you and your loved ones be abundantly blessed in 2023. Respectfully , Jen
Hi Michael from Florida love love your art ..you are so talented The background on your website would make great greeting cards and other papers. Great job..keep painting I really enjoyed this video.
There is no doubt that you have incredible artistic genes, Michael. Hopefully you enjoy the process, and get some satisfaction from your creations! We viewers certainly do ❤️
I wanted that mouse painting dang it. I think your little dog Bertie looks like a little fox lol. Love that Ryan is helping you out. Your Dad is a hard worker and adds a bit of humor too your videos lol. You are so talented Michael.
The fellas upstairs sure know what they are doing! They're awesome! I really enjoyed watching you sketch and paint! Such a beautiful picture! Love from Vermont
Michael! I knew from the first video where you were sketching the chateau in the yard that this is where you were headed! As a fellow artist only in acrylic, it’s nice to watch how someone does watercolor. I’m so excited to see where this takes you!
❤️ Brilliant Michael ❤️ Your Artwork is fantastic, don’t under sell yourself, you are so talented, you inspire me and many others. Have confidence, we all need that, your artwork to so good. Look forward to seeing so much more. Good Luck with the new website and the gardeners cottage x x
Thank you for filming your painting process with watercolors! I started painting with acrylic two years ago and watercolor always daunted me. Now I'm inspired to try my hand at it!
Hi Michael, You are awesome speaking to us on camera you are charming and friendly 😁❤️🌟👍 I love your drawings you are talented in many things🌟 So glad you have Dad & crew helping with your cottage that's how to do it!👍😁❤️ My Mom is 80 is the artist in my family and my daughter who is 35 has that talent too. I cannot draw lol. Love your video with explaining the drawing process wow❤️🌟👍 Best wishes always Michael 😘love your prints I ordered mine❤️thank you Michael
Michael - I loved seeing your drawing and painting process. I could watch for hours. If you sold blank notecards with a print of one of your animals on the front, I would love to buy a bunch of those. Just a thought as you expand your shop.
Michael, you are extremely talented! I started losing my eye sight 16 yrs ago. I was an artist, I loved to draw and paint, really any medium except charcoal. I’m living vicariously through you. I love new paper and pencils, the smell and feel brings back wonderful memories. Someone might need a go pro for Christmas. Or a bendable camera stand.
Well done Michael and Ryan. Hope this makes you bucket loads of money. Can't wait to see loads more prints. Little Tommy Tittlemouse was gorgeous, please do a print of him! The chateau must give ample opportunities for your art work. The lake, the stream, the trees, the chateau, the chapel, stained glass windows, the main staircase, gardeners cottage, the blue and white china, the greenhouse and produce, your pets, the chickens, even dandelions and daisies would all make a great print. The front gates would be great too. Turn it into wrapping paper and birthday cards, also loads for Christmas! The opportunities are endless. I am so happy for you.
Welcome back Michael, it is so good to see you again. You are so talented in so many ways. I have so enjoyed watching you fix the cottage, paint, be the detective, garden, play music. Be happy, be well and be the artiste you are, supremely gifted. Have faith that everything will be fine. I was sorry to hear you were unwell and hope you are doing better now. What lovely water colors, you have so much around you to paint. The greenhouse, the horses, the stables, the chateau, the dining room, living room, the gardens. Paint on and good to have you back!
Ryan designed a really nice website for your art. It's very clean and easy to navigate. I think you're going to be sold out soon. Watercolors are not easy so it is great to watch your process. This is only the beginning. So happy for this new venture. Good to see Florian. Can't wait till you can live in your cottage. Perfect place to do your art. Stay safe.
Thank you! I've seen several how-to on line painting courses, and you've just given us as much as they did, faster, and for free. You are a natural teacher. :)
It’s a real tribute to the many solid corners of the Chateau (both historic and mended by your crew) that a widdle biddy mouse could be cornered and scooped up without outrunning you to an escape crack in that ginormous place.
All four prints safely arrived today! Not a bent considering they travelled to Australia!!! 💕 I am framing all plus the thank you card too so it will look super cool as a set of 5 pieces together! ☀️
Wonderful work Michael❣️Have you made sure the art work is un Copyable (?) copyrighted, so no one steels your images of your website. Get Ryan to fix the website so your images can’t be copied and pasted as I just did. !!!
Hi Michael, i hope you are well, I have missed your videos, please consider doing more i really enjoy watching you, you are inspirational and have helped me x
Amazing art work! I love how the level of calm and certainty comes through when you are talking about your art work, you truly love what you are doing and the kindness you show in telling people how to do what you are doing is awesome. Keep up the great work, love it!
Congratulations, Michael, I'm super happy for you! I'm a water-color artist as well and what you've done with your art is inspiring. Here's to your continued success and motivation!🥂
I usually just accidentally do it right. 😂 My mother was a wildlife artist and I only got 3 small slices of artistic genes. I sent you one of my cranes. They used to visit me in the winter and spring and come close so I could feed them. I painted for about 2 years and it’s escaped me how to do it again. Maybe when the weather is better I can sit on the porch and paint again. Adorable wee mouse. I’m surprised it let you handle it. Maybe hungry, thirsty or sick.
I can not wait to receive the signed Bee prints! I got 1 for myself and 1 for my daughter. Thank you very much Michael!!! You are so incredibly talented!!
Most artists for example Jonna Jinton sends artwork from Sweden; all send their artwork in a safe manner. Otherwise it would be bad for business. I am sure Michale knows how to mai his artwork in a safe manner.

Bought my print can't wait to get it xx
So ex ited you are painting and selling. Will go to the website.
Michael you are so talented,funny and kind!I ,as a painter on glass really enjoyed your vlog today!Thank you!
Missing your vlogs. You are very kind and supportive.
Foxes are golden.

Great idea xxx
Great idea!Michael's videos are moving paintings!
What a wonderful idea 👍🥰
@Nadean Simmons I agree, what a wonderful idea! Michael is so talented, it would be great to have an artists impression of the Chateau & surroundings...especially the resident artist who actually lives at the Chateau! 💕💕
Great idea! Horses, cats, flowers!
Michael, you might want to have Ryan disable the "save as" option on your artwork, and water mark it with your name over the image on the web site, of course the prints won't have the water mark when people buy them. It is better for people to buy the prints from you, than save and copy to print at home.
Definitely do this!!!!
Yes!!! Protect your art please! You have already had unscrupulous people steal your art Michael. I don't want that to happen again.
You really need to do this to protect your art work.
Disabling right click is pointless, as screenshotting is super easy. Watermarking is much better
Most definitely you need to do that!
Is there no end to your talents, Michael?! Incredible. You can draw, paint, sow, cook, play the piano, DIY, vlog/edit, do make up and hair etc.. And all of that on a really high level. It's a joy, watching you. Regards from The Netherlands!
I was thinking the same thing. I love UA-cam as it makes people like Michael available to all of us 😊
It would be great to see you interview your Mum and Dad. They have a great work ethic and your Dad is just amazing for his years. X 🇨🇮
The website is beautiful and the artworks are charming, well done Michael. A Renaissance man you are, best wishes.
I love ur dad! He needs his own UA-cam channel. Lol
Your drawings and paintings are beautiful you are truly talented ❤️
After Billy cleans the chapel, like the beautiful chateau, the peach ,amber sunset glow on the chapel would be a lovely watercolour,just a suggestion! Maybe some daffodils in the foreground also would be stunning! Good job today,Michael.Love to see you paint!Art will never fail.
I love the chapel even more than the chateau.
@@cynthiabroockman1752 I agree,me too!It is lovely!
You need to put watermarks on the display of your prints on the web site, otherwise people can just save and print them.
YES sadly happens lots DO it sooner than later
Charlie Mackesy had big problems people doing that even printing up tshirts with his art of the boy, the horsr, fox and mole

What a blessed family to live, work, and play together! ❤

Really good painting Michael, so nice to see you working. You would be good at illustrating too, as well as being a fine actor.
I’m so happy for you. Your artwork is amazing and I’m sure you will be successful with your sales.
Oh such a cute little mouse, you must do a lovely sketch of him/her. Good luck Michael with everything you do. 😊🇬🇧
You are so lucky to have your dad helping with the restoration. Treasure those moments.
It would be beautiful if you did a storybook for Ernest and Archibald with some of your drawings Michael. Xx
Your art is very nice - hope the website does really well and keeps you inspired. 😊
A suggestion for a print could be of the pony Elsa that lives at the Estate now. I know your viewers would love having a part of the Estate hanging in their homes.

Hi Michael from Florida
love love your art
..you are so talented
The background on your website would make great greeting cards and other papers.
Great job..keep painting
I really enjoyed this video.
I just wrote the same. 😊 I would love some blank notecards with different prints on the front.
Yes I would love a print of the website design as well!
yes i thought so Even wallpaper.. napkins etc
There is no doubt that you have incredible artistic genes, Michael.
Hopefully you enjoy the process, and get some satisfaction from
your creations! We viewers certainly do ❤️
God bless your dad! He works harder than men half his age.
All very best with you new venture Michael
I love how you captured the youthful eyes of the fox kit. Beautiful work Michael!
I would like to see dear dad get help with his cottage.He's a good man and hard worker always helping others on there projects..
Your artistic talent is such a gift Michael. ❤️
Michael please look into adding a digital watermark to your online prints and paintings to protect your art online. Beautiful work!
I wanted that mouse painting dang it. I think your little dog Bertie looks like a little fox lol. Love that Ryan is helping you out. Your Dad is a hard worker and adds a bit of humor too your videos lol. You are so talented Michael.
Michael, your brother and Ryan saw an antique light table in a brocante the other day...maybe get them to tell you about it.
Michael, your work is really beautiful!
The fellas upstairs sure know what they are doing! They're awesome! I really enjoyed watching you sketch and paint! Such a beautiful picture! Love from Vermont
Beautiful foxes. Fascinating to watch the process.
Ordered all four as couldn’t decide! 😂 I think the three animal ones will go well together as a set! Thank you! Good luck! 💕
Thank you so much 😊
I can't find the site!

Michael! I knew from the first video where you were sketching the chateau in the yard that this is where you were headed! As a fellow artist only in acrylic, it’s nice to watch how someone does watercolor. I’m so excited to see where this takes you!

I like your idea of doing the pencil drawings as well as the watercolors. Good Luck Michael.
Loved seeing your painting technique…..
I ordered a print. Good luck with the new venture!
Micheal the paintings went in six seconds. Hope that this inspires you to paint more especially if it brings you joy.
I want nothing more than to wallpaper my bedroom in your background artwork! Stunning.
Good to ser the progress micheal. Your father is awesome

Best wishes always Michael 😘love your prints I ordered mine❤️thank you Michael
Congratulations on achieving one of your goals of creating and selling your talented artwork as well as the launch of your new website!
Michael - I loved seeing your drawing and painting process. I could watch for hours. If you sold blank notecards with a print of one of your animals on the front, I would love to buy a bunch of those. Just a thought as you expand your shop.
That is an excellent idea!!!
Exactly what i was thinking! It’s very handy to have a set of note cards to write thank you notes or give with gifts!

Very interesting video. Loved it. I don't know what was more precious and cute,,,,you or that sweet little mouse!!
Nice website. Congrats! You might want to think of watermarking the images.
What a talent. All the best and success.
God bless your dad, he works so hard. Your mum too lovely people!
Can't wait to see how you decorate the bedroom! Congratulations on your new website! Happy to see you, Michael..
Stephanie needs to buy the squirrel, every time I’ve ever seen it I immediately thought “That’s Stephanie”. ❤️
i’m excited for the Heron print i ordered Michael! great work!

That was so sweet when you helped the little mouse.

Congratulations on the new website and business! Your art is beautiful! Watching and loving all you do from New Zealand :-) xxx
Michael, this was so uplifting. Its so nice to see you settled and peaceful and productive. I will be shopping...
Ryan designed a really nice website for your art. It's very clean and easy to navigate. I think you're going to be sold out soon.
Watercolors are not easy so it is great to watch your process. This is only the beginning. So happy for this new venture. Good to see Florian. Can't wait till you can live in your cottage. Perfect place to do your art.
Stay safe.
As an aside -- I've always loved the 'Doing It Ourselves' font. It's so unique, has a friendly yet compelling, picturesque feeling. It's perfect ♥
Thank you! I've seen several how-to on line painting courses, and you've just given us as much as they did, faster, and for free. You are a natural teacher. :)
Mick The Legend is at it again! He never stops working. We appreciate your dad and his lifetime of sharpening his skills.
It’s a real tribute to the many solid corners of the Chateau (both historic and mended by your crew) that a widdle biddy mouse could be cornered and scooped up without outrunning you to an escape crack in that ginormous place.
Love your father Mick! He continues to help with all the projects.
He really loves his family and tries to make things better.
Michael, I really want to see you do Stephanie's peacocks. Thor, especially. The colors would be brilliant and I would definitely buy one!

just beautiful.. a sensitive soul 💚
You are amazing, Michael.
I love this! 😁 You should do more videos like this. I really love watching people paint.
I can not wait to receive the signed Bee prints! I got 1 for myself and 1 for my daughter. Thank you very much Michael!!! You are so incredibly talented!!
What a talented gift, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤
It’s absolutely amazing watching you create art Micheal.
Wow Michael, you are sooooo talented! Love your prints!!! Well done on the website too Ryan!
Suuuuuuper deee duper excited, Mr. Petherick!!! Well done, you, Ryan and all!!!
Love the art! I recommend to send the print in a hard envelope for mailing art. If you don't the art will get bent and ruined.
Most artists for example Jonna Jinton sends artwork from Sweden; all send their artwork in a safe manner. Otherwise it would be bad for business. I am sure Michale knows how to mai his artwork in a safe manner.
