    I don't have any art friends irl, it must've been so fun meeting up and doing things that only other artists would enjoy 🥰

    baby goat footage was arguably a lot better than our visit so I understand

    • @LeighEllexson

      exactly my sentiment, thank you for understanding bird.

    Leigh, I love how you talk about your feelings and reactions to your own work. It's refreshing to hear someone talk about the process of being an artist. That push/pull/frustration/acceptance cycle is real. It's easy to think you're the only artist who gives up on liking a piece. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and verbalizing your feelings about your work. It's encouragement to artists like me who often make stuff that doesn't feel "right" but accept it anyway.

    As beautiful and well put-together your vlogs always are, the highlight is always the stunning artworks. From the pencil sketches to the paintings, I fall in love with the colours and the textures every time. I love how you have the skills to make art for little stickers and postcards, but also the magnificent pieces one would be proud to hang on the wall. Thank you for sharing this, along with so many wonderful moments in nature and your life with us all.

    @KungfooKimchii Před 4 měsíci +1

    Sending love from Htown! I’ve loved your videos since I first saw them a few years ago and it’s been a treat for me to watch you grow, from place to place that you’ve moved from and then with the studio, it’s been a journey! You have been an inspiration for me to continue my childhood dream of being an artist and because of artists like yourself and chey and others, it almost feels like it’s possible. It fills my heart up and I just wanted to say thank you- I hope your future endeavors are bright and whatever you find yourself doing makes you so very happy! (Also I rarely leave comments and interactions at all for anything and anyone, I’m ashamed, but thank you for reminding me! 😅)

  • @heathermain8602
    @heathermain8602 Před 4 měsíci +2

    I totally feel you on the making art becoming an event. Every time I walk toward my studio space in our house my husband says “oh are going to make some art.” I do not know how to explain how much freaking pressure that is putting on me. Just say nothing please.

    @abluemug Před 4 měsíci +1

    If Leigh gave an art talk of her many pieces it’d be part heartfilled stories part comedy. Those kewpie angels are adorable beautiful hilarious. The portrait around 18:00 i swooned! Such charming texture and technique. Loved the video Leigh.

    I've started waving to my cat in the one-finger-curl style every morning when I leave for work. She appreciates it greatly. This started subconsciously over the last couple weeks...but I feel like I need to give you and Jamie credit 🧡 p.s love love the vlog esp the baby goat section🥰Just finished listening to yours and Jamie's podcast episode on Patreon while taking my daily walk..I LOL'd muchly as it was windy and I experienced the open mouth wind invasion moment just before you talked about it, so thank you for that excellent timing. I'm excited for more of the chit-chats 😺

    • @LeighEllexson
      @LeighEllexson  Před 4 měsíci +1

    Hi Leigh, I'm a new subscriber and I just wanted to let you know how much I've been enjoying your videos. I've been dealing with a deep depression (who isn't these days, the world is falling apart) but watching your videos have been helping me forget about some of the dark feelings and has been inspiring me to do more art as a form of escapism. You have such a calm energy that is so nice for a highly anxious person like myself. Thank you for putting yourself and your art out there, you're helping so many people and you don't even know it - Rina

    Hi. This is my first video from you I see. Got in my recommended. I just want to say I like your vibe and aesthetic of the vlog and art. I used to do casual art and digital art. For fun..but I found myself trying to make a good one. I know there is no perfect art piece. Its just there are people that will like your style or story of the piece. I might try again doing painting or clay. I used to do a lot of clay like when I was a kid and got praised in a good way that I make good things. Might try us emy creativity more :) Greetings
