Hey Linda! I don’t ever leave comments like this but I found you through a random google search. As I was watching this I really felt Gods presence which made me excited to make my own art but I felt him say you have such a gift to share with the world and you bring a calm to a crazy world through what you do. Don’t ever doubt your purpose and what you’re doing! It’s special ❤

[SusanWilliams-gr]

Hi Linda! I can’t believe I missed this video but glad I found it.

[debrahorn]

Love that first piece! Also, sending a prayer for your mom. I'm so sorry for her struggle.

[juney]

I'm just starting out with painting and really want to attempt abstract but though I have done some playing, wasn't sure that watercolour would be ideal medium for it. You have shown me that it can indeed, I absolutely love your abstract landscape and how it developed. I also love your very human approach, thoughts for your Mother.

[graceartsgifts]

I love your experimental style and spirit! Beautiful ❤😊 God Bless

[karenirving]

I’ve been struggling a bit with landscapes lately. This gives me inspiration for a looser more abstract style

[theresamoore]

It’s a great way to start when you’re stuck. I love abstract.

[jeanetteanderson]

So beautiful I can’t wait to try this out! Thanks for sharing all your hard work and help ❤️🙏🇨🇦

[phyllisbruce]

I love love love watching you play! I’ve not yet put brush to paint and I think I will be super happy playing first!

[kathytincler]

Those ARE wonderful and I AM going to play and learn today. I didn't know that a painting that really looked more like a discernable picture but actually not was considered tree one is mind blowing awesome!! Thanks much for sharing this.

Another great video Linda! I enjoyed the abstract watercolor paintings. Prayers for your Mom. ❤ Also prayers for my sister. Found out Tuesday she does have lung cancer. Never smoked a day in her life. We will find out the stage in over a week or so. Pet scan Thursday. Results back on May 20. 🙏🙏🙏

[janetgoodwin]

Thank you for this video in real time. Love the wood scene. Prayers for you and your Mom.🙏🙏🙏 😻

[Stormy--]

Another wonderful video, thank you 👍👍❤️❤️

[melissaamyx]

I'm only half way through and having so much fun! I absolutely love when you experiment and push things to their limits!

[alineroberts]

It looks like a little haunted woods. 💕 The first blue one looks like chairs placed around a like a patio set. Lovely!

[ChantelleArts]

This is so good, what a wonderful video ☺☺

[mousepudding]

Even just "playing around" you created some amazing pieces. Speaks to your incredible talent. And the squeaky chair keeps it real! I'm a newbie to your channel, but I really appreciate the authenticity and honesty you share.

[CAT-Anne]

Love the woodland picture. Prayers for your mom~

[marjf]

I love the white area (about minute 32). This makes me think of mine and my husband's many journeys through old cemeteries..
I'm weird that way. I love going through an old cemetery visiting graves of people l don't know, discussing what their lives might have been like.

[Horse-Momma]

I'm back from my other device so I can like this video twice! Time to go play now with watercolors! Also, much love and many prayers for your mum... I feel for her being scared, I watched my mom go through the same thing. It's hard to be the strong one for them when they need us so much to be their rock to lean on. I can't tell you how many tears I cried in private through our journey together until the end. Hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Our parents deserve so much more than we can give them, but our love is enough...
