The world is lucky that you have found these items because you will truly care for them and use them as they are meant to be. Your painting is absolutely beautiful. ❤
Sargent definitely put the umbrella in your sight and no better person could have it. It will be loved and appreciated and with your talent, Rajiv, you deserve it. What a special video!
I found a working pachinko machine I had been hunting for for years. I couldn’t get that money out fast enough…thank you for all your wonderful videos.
This is the perfect example of the power of manifestation. Here in this exammple, lies the secret. You put your request onto the wind, you allowed the UNIVERSE to work it's MAGICK and bring the item to you. Without a fixation on it, without a constant looking for it. You had the desire, put the wish out to the UNIVERSE, then you LET IT GO! When we release the attachment to the things we want, it lets the UNIVERSE know we are willing to be co-creators in the adventure of it "BECOMING". We continue to be ourselves and we relish in the idea of "MAGICKAL THINKING". In doing so, things like this manifest themselves, validating that this whole LIFE thing is an interplay with US and the DIVINE. When we let the UNIVERSE take the wheel, the most incredible things seem to happen! Congratulations on following the breadcrumbs and allowing the MAGICK to just flow!
lol. You know what I just really LOVE about you? We’re happiest having just the right tools 🧰 as much as the project itself. Makes perfect sense to me, no one else ever understood this factor about me… but set up, right tools are AS important . Thanks for understanding my heart,..and this alignment. I “get” you.
Rajiv, you manifested and those items "came" to you. This video on an unusually wet Sunday morning here in Plano, TX has been a gift! Thank you, my fellow Tamilian.
So serendipitous for you to “finally” find the antique umbrella. Asking is key in getting what one wants. Such a Sunday morning gift this video has been. Its been many years since I have experienced the beauty of summer in the northeast and this video gave me a good reminder. Thank you Rajiv.
That bit of trivia about your having painted John Derian’s shop sign is my favorite thing in this video. It’s such an obvious pairing that my immediate thought was “but, of course!”.
I don’t paint but the joy in your eyes, not just your face or smile, your eyes are glowing and I can hear your heart bursting with joy. The word joy is such a small and simple word but its explains a lot. Congratulations on your finds.
It was so rewarding watching you take the trouble to find an antique painter's umbrella, showing us each detail of its fine craftsmanship......which after decades, is still in good working condition. There's immeasurable pride in owning this piece of history. What a lovely garden you have. And the painting...I wish it was mine❤
Wow. Look at the quality of that umbrella and the chair. I always go for quality over quantity in everything. The hydrangeas are beautiful and they are huge. The one on the left and the back is even darker and stunning. Time well spent. Thank you.
How beautiful - I’m thrilled for your unicorn finds but I was also vicariously wishing to be laying on a rug in that garden with some pillows, cold tea and a good book, just soaking up the greenery and the sounds of nature ❤️
I love that you found these vintage painting tools. ❤️ Very happy for you! I have a vintage water container. It's a glass container with coiled wire above it to hold the brushes. It belonged to my father, who took up painting in his 50's. When I took up painting in my 50s I was glad to have it! 😊
What amazing finds! I have some of my grandmother’s metal palettes ( she was an art student at Pratt then a commercial artist in 1930’s NYC)…I love having and using them in my own studio…
I am so happy that you have focused on who you are, who you want to become, what you want to achieve, appreciated the teachers you found along the way, worked extremely hard, and been grateful for the gifts from the universe. As if that were not enough of an extraordinary accomplishment, you chose to share all you have learned with us. I, for one, am extremely grateful to be included in your journey. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️.
That is the most beautiful umbrella I have ever seen .The cool thing is I know in 20 years if the canvas gives up the ghost you will re sheath the thing or do what ever is nessasary to keep it happy and healthy and working as something that beautiful needs ...
I was looking at it closely yesterday and noticed that the panels are hand sewn together! It wouldn't be very hard to make a new cover for it. I've done that before, with antique umbrellas.
In my mind that one was once owned by Sargent himself. Love seeing you manifest such beloved items. It’s uplifting to see you so happy. Your painting is spectacular. Such talent!
I'm so happy that you found the umbrella and stool. I'm sure if we knew you were looking for them, we would have been helping you search for them. Beautiful painting!!!
I love it when this happens and I’m so happy for you!! I had wanted bees for so long and purchased some old top bar hives from a coworker in anticipation of one day installing some bee colonies into them. After having them stored away for a couple of years I saw one day that there was a swarm in our yard! I collected the swarm and in the morning installed them into one of my hives. That next evening I came home from work to find a SECOND swarm in our front yard!! They were installed into the second hive. I had never been so thankful to receive something that I had hoped so much for. Thank you, YHVH for these gifts!!!
My heart almost stopped…. I love Sargent, I’m also a John Darien fan. The umbrella you found in his shop for painting would be the cherry on top! Soooo happy you found it when you did. I believe YOU manifested just what you wanted!! It belongs in your life.. Your watercolor painting is wonderful!! It feels magical… Thank you for sharing your summer with us!❤
What a find! When I first came to Perth I saw an old advertising sign for a re-covering service for strollers and umbrellas. It would be amazing if businesses like that still existed.
It is the universe, law of attraction, positive energy…who knows but it does work. So happy you found such beautiful piece to make your creative experience even more enjoyable.
That is a real joy moment when you are very intentional about what your want, looking, and are willing to be patient.. and then you get that moment of, yes. This is perfect. That gets relived everytime you use it When you treasure your space, things, and people, the world feels miraculous.
Rajiv, your creator who gave you all your wonderfull talent know all your desires and needs. He was the one who at the right time supplied that umbrella. HalleluYAH for looking after you, precious in His sight. Just love all your videos. You are such an inspiration! Come visit! 🙂. From a small artist town Prince Albert, in the Karoo, South Africa, i send you blessings!
You painted one of my favorite subjects-I love pictures of washing on the line! What a wonderful job you did and so very interesting about the umbrella.
Your watercolor is so beautiful! I love this story about the umbrella and Sargent. Your umbrella makes me think of how craftsmanship speaks loudly. Like you I love the beauty of objects.
I went to Sargent's Exhibition this past January waiting in the cold for hours and it wss definitely worth it ! And seee your setup, it was just magical and i love your paintings 🖼 and thank you for sharing your life with us ❤
have to say that i also adore the little yellow chair... it makes me happy that you have created this artists life for yourself where all the parts and pieces of it bring you joy. ❤
Love, love, love your painting, Rajiv! I also loved seeing your absolute joy and wonder at finding those beautiful tools. I think all artists love their tools. The right paper, pigments, and brushes contribute so much to the experience of painting. I have a couple of Isabey brushes, too. They are amazing! Happy Birthday! So happy you share these precious times with us.
What a serendipitous find! And thank you for the point about asking for something out load. Especially now as today is the full moon and a great time to set intentions
Hi from Florida😊 I always learn something from you. How amazing to have found these pieces, & still in such great condition and functional ❤ Do you sell your artwork? It's stunningly beautiful
I didn't know I needed that until just now! BTW, thanks for the brush tip in your previous video. My "brush" shop closed (New York Central Art Supply). Maybe you should start a course at the Arts Students League? Thanks again and great painting! (I want to paint like you.)
Just saw a new opera about John Sargent at Des Moines Opera, American Apollo. They recorded it and should be available in the Fall. You should keep an eye out for it. Music was stunning and had a complicated portrayal of him.
Watching this video made me so happy -- happy for you that you found those treasures and happy to have spent a few minutes in appreciation of art and serendipity.
Rajiv, thank you for sharing your magic with your Fans. I love your artistic eye and your respect for the process. Your watercolor is beautiful and I am sure your Followers all wish we could purchase one! Always love and respect your Magic, till next time ❤️⭐️❤️
Perfect. I know exactly how you felt when you found these! The process itself is often worth more than to the artist than the finished product. Creating multiples and pulling in the community to help, for me, has remained in my memory more clearly than the objects that were created.
Hi Rajiv, Your voice, calm & full of laughter, is very much like another here on CZcams, Kyle Heath, who gives instruction in painting. I've just finished watching Kyle's video called, 'Painting with Enthusiastic Brush Strokes'. Give him a listen, and tell me what You think! PS.: I'm going to tell Kyle Heath about you as well!
Such a delight to see how excited you are about this. Your face and whole being is lit up...and it's contagious. :) Thanks for the reminder to put our wishes out there and trust that the Universe will provide. Magical! Beautiful video, Beautiful artwork! Thanks so much! Best to you and all!
Your watercolor was gorgeous 😍. Also , I think, you managed to encapsulate the perfect summer outfit! You look pulled together yet breezy , cool and comfortable. 🤜🤛
They could not have been found by someone who would appreciate them more. Enjoy Rajiv!!
This comment says it all. These tools have landed in the right hands. ❤
I love Sargent Fanboy Rajiv. Glad the Universe bestowed such a gift upon you.
The world is lucky that you have found these items because you will truly care for them and use them as they are meant to be. Your painting is absolutely beautiful. ❤
Your comment actually makes me think about product consumption. Perhaps I should ask myself if I’ll be a good steward of my purchase.
Maybe it’s Sargent’s umbrella. ❤️ He would want someone like you to be the guardian of such a loved artists tool.
You yearned and the Universe delivered. 'Happens every day.
Sargent definitely put the umbrella in your sight and no better person could have it. It will be loved and appreciated and with your talent, Rajiv, you deserve it. What a special video!
It was meant to be! I love such serendipitous finds. It’s a wonderful discovery that could not have come into better hands. Congrats, Rajiv!
Always a pleasure to peek in Rajivs world❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
New Harmony, Indiana has a Plein Aire event every Spring And painters come from all around to paint! Come join us, Rajiv!❤
This would make a good video too
@@darladr1553 It definitely would! New Harmony is rich in history and art, etc.
Ahhh … John Singer Sargent … I adore him … and your painting is beautiful!
Your joy is so contagious!
Agreed, I was grinning ear-to-ear watching him be so happy.
I found a working pachinko machine I had been hunting for for years. I couldn’t get that money out fast enough…thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Rajiv gives me hope for human kind
They couldn't have gone to a better person to be their new guardian. I am so happy for you and a bit jealous!
This is the perfect example of the power of manifestation. Here in this exammple, lies the secret.

I think you should paint that scene, of all your favorite tools in front of that lovely landscape of flowers and clothes line.
I was thinking that too😊
Lovely idea to share 🦋
lol. You know what I just really LOVE about you? We’re happiest having just the right tools 🧰 as much as the project itself. Makes perfect sense to me, no one else ever understood this factor about me… but set up, right tools are AS important . Thanks for understanding my heart,..and this alignment. I “get” you.
I love listening to you… You’re sort of the Bob Ross of decorating, painting, living… I love the elegance and simplicity of the things you create ❤
You + James Gurney = all the plein air info I need
Patience pays off. Artists know this
Rajiv, you manifested and those items "came" to you. This video on an unusually wet Sunday morning here in Plano, TX has been a gift! Thank you, my fellow Tamilian.
I doubt it was Sargent, but more like the hand of God. Very nice.☺️
Allahu Akbar 🙂
So serendipitous for you to “finally” find the antique umbrella. Asking is key in getting what one wants.
Such a Sunday morning gift this video has been.
Its been many years since I have experienced the beauty of summer in the northeast and this video gave me a good reminder.
Thank you Rajiv.
So lovely, ALL of it.. especially you, Rajiv. I’m a middle aged lady, that was also borne with an old soul. Happiest belated birthday. 🌿🌺🌿
That bit of trivia about your having painted John Derian’s shop sign is my favorite thing in this video. It’s such an obvious pairing that my immediate thought was “but, of course!”.
I don’t paint but the joy in your eyes, not just your face or smile, your eyes are glowing and I can hear your heart bursting with joy. The word joy is such a small and simple word but its explains a lot. Congratulations on your finds.
I think you being so enamoured of the idea of owning a painting parasol somehow manifested it
Seeing you so happy makes the world a softer and more peaceful place.
I love it when the Universe responds to requests
What an absolute joy! I’m glad you got to experience that moment ❤ enjoy painting á la Sargent from now on!
It was so rewarding watching you take the trouble to find an antique painter's umbrella, showing us each detail of its fine craftsmanship......which after decades, is still in good working condition. There's immeasurable pride in owning this piece of history.
What a lovely garden you have. And the painting...I wish it was mine❤
The Great Magnet is absolutely real. I’ve seen it happen over and over again with me and the people around me.
You don't have to tell us. You're vibrating in happiness. It's great!
I get such vicarious pleasure seeing your appreciation of beautiful and functional old objects. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. Look at the quality of that umbrella and the chair. I always go for quality over quantity in everything.
The hydrangeas are beautiful and they are huge. The one on the left and the back is even darker and stunning.
Time well spent. Thank you.
How beautiful - I’m thrilled for your unicorn finds but I was also vicariously wishing to be laying on a rug in that garden with some pillows, cold tea and a good book, just soaking up the greenery and the sounds of nature ❤️
I dare you to wear one of Sargent's big pipe hats...would be awesome
I love that you found these vintage painting tools. ❤️ Very happy for you! I have a vintage water container. It's a glass container with coiled wire above it to hold the brushes. It belonged to my father, who took up painting in his 50's. When I took up painting in my 50s I was glad to have it! 😊
What amazing finds! I have some of my grandmother’s metal palettes ( she was an art student at Pratt then a commercial artist in 1930’s NYC)…I love having and using them in my own studio…
Yes, for sure you manifested those art tools and the joy is apparent that they have brought you. Love your watercolor.
I am so happy that you have focused on who you are, who you want to become, what you want to achieve, appreciated the teachers you found along the way, worked extremely hard, and been grateful for the gifts from the universe.

How fortunate to be reliving the experiences of someone you so admire! What a lovely plein air setup you have. Enjoy your treasures! Happy painting!
Glad you found it. Theres nothing better than coming upon something youve been wanting
Such enthusiasm. Much joy for your minute detailed feasting on these rare findings.
That yard is just so lovely and peaceful. The hydrangeas are gorgeous. How could you not paint that scene?
I can’t believe you found these two items in such great condition. This is amazing. You are so happy, enjoy Rajiv
I'm so happy that you found the umbrella and stool. I'm sure if we knew you were looking for them, we would have been helping you search for them. Beautiful painting!!!

Thank you for sharing your summer with us!❤
What a find! When I first came to Perth I saw an old advertising sign for a re-covering service for strollers and umbrellas. It would be amazing if businesses like that still existed.
Love all of this! I am always scouting for a antique well loved pallet that someone left behind
I love and appreciate your joy and also your appreciation for those tools.
Thank you.
I love umbrellas too! I have a small collection because they can be quite expensive!
The vignette at 6:05 where you draw the umbrella across and reveal the painting area and garden, is very beautiful.
It is the universe, law of attraction, positive energy…who knows but it does work. So happy you found such beautiful piece to make your creative experience even more enjoyable.
That is a real joy moment when you are very intentional about what your want, looking, and are willing to be patient.. and then you get that moment of, yes. This is perfect. That gets relived everytime you use it
When you treasure your space, things, and people, the world feels miraculous.
Seriously, you are such a talented individual!!!!!! Is there anything that you don't do well?
Rajiv, your creator who gave you all your wonderfull talent know all your desires and needs. He was the one who at the right time supplied that umbrella. HalleluYAH for looking after you, precious in His sight. Just love all your videos. You are such an inspiration! Come visit! 🙂.

Congratulations on your great find! That leather seat looks like the prototype of today's walking cane with seat attached. (popular for seniors use)
You painted one of my favorite subjects-I love pictures of washing on the line! What a wonderful job you did and so very interesting about the umbrella.
The universe loves you ❤️ and Yes so happy to see you're enjoying your 🎂🎈🎉 be good to yourself 🙏💜🕯️
you really appreciate the "good stuff" and glad you're finding it
I love your painting! And you painted it on your birthday! Your joy is contagious! Thank you!
I know that exact feeling ypu got when you found that umbrella. That us the most magical wonderful feeling. Enjoy
I would also like a video of your preferred art supplies, if you haven't already posted them.
We posted a video just a few weeks ago about my favorite art supplies, at the art store Blick!
So glad these things found their way to you Rajiv! Wow. Sergeant sent them to you. No doubt. Sigh…. The painting is lovely. 😍
I hope that you, your stool and your umbrella have decades of glorious painting together !
Your watercolor is so beautiful! I love this story about the umbrella and Sargent. Your umbrella makes me think of how craftsmanship speaks loudly. Like you I love the beauty of objects.

What a serendipitous find! And thank you for the point about asking for something out load. Especially now as today is the full moon and a great time to set intentions
Hi from Florida😊 I always learn something from you. How amazing to have found these pieces, & still in such great condition and functional ❤ Do you sell your artwork? It's stunningly beautiful
Hi Susan, I sell my watercolors via Instagram stories. I usually post about a sale once every couple of months. Thank you!
I didn't know I needed that until just now! BTW, thanks for the brush tip in your previous video. My "brush" shop closed (New York Central Art Supply). Maybe you should start a course at the Arts Students League? Thanks again and great painting! (I want to paint like you.)

Rajiv, you are a renaissance man! You bring so much joy to my life.
Great exhibition of Sargent in London Tate Britain Gallery. I was amazed by his work in real life
OMG I love this video and your watercolour painting is so beautiful! ❤🎉

What a wonderful find in the umbrella! It is lucky to have you.
The painting…. it’s pure magic! Stunning!🙏👏❤️👏❤️🙏
Makes perfect sense, Rajiv. Thank you.
Your watercolor was gorgeous 😍. Also , I think, you managed to encapsulate the perfect summer outfit! You look pulled together yet breezy , cool and comfortable. 🤜🤛
Such an amazing find ✨🎨🖌️🥰
Dreams can be manifested if the intentionality is present 😊
