Post "A little painting video!" by "Rachel Maksy" from patreon

Vanessa Steininger

Hi Rachel 💛 I‘m from Vienna and I think you‘d love to come in September/October because the dark academia vibes here are gorgeous!

Suzy Turner

Gosh Rachel is there anything you can't do??! That's amazing! x

Alis🌞n

We love grey potato art though

Briony M Davies

I used to work in the castle! Miss that beautiful place. Happy belated anniversary to you both! Fab painting ❤️

Hugrun Lilja Johannsdottir

If you guys make your way over to Iceland there are some history bounding re-enactors that would love to show you guys around. Also we have goats...

Elizabeth

Happy 13 year Date-iversary! My husband and I started dating May 12th 2010 😍 Apparently that was a great year.

JoJo Smith

Such a great idea to paint over a thrifted picture. Absolute genius. Plus I could watch you paint all day 💖💖💖

Katie

I’m always so in awe of your drawings and paintings. My skill would make Edinburgh castle look like a grey potato 😂. If you want beautiful archaic texture in Europe Lisbon and Porto in Portugal are the places to go. They are so stunning and blew me away when I went recently. Vienna is also on my list x

Aimée Town

Love the golden hour tones, very romantic ✨🌙✨

RhiaRay

Finally catching up on this. Cannot recommend Iceland enough. If you want to see the Aurora I definitely suggest finding a dark sky hotel. My husband and I stayed at Hotel Rangá and loved it.

Bess

Beautiful painting ! This video is so soothing; visual asmr xoxo

Sabrina Renner

I've always loved the idea of painting but im always too scared to commit! Watching your process makes me inspired to just go for it! Plus I think with starting with the darkest shades and then adding the light really helps bring out the details!

Vanessa King

As my Mother would say when she would let us paint on the walls on painting day; sparkle "that painting will ALWAYS BE THERE UNDERNEATH"! sparkle! It's lovely! (Your painting. Although, laser beam Mary will still always be there too! Just on her side.) Yes, it was fun to watch! I loved this little video! Thank you for sharing!

Anna Koczela

Love your painting videos, it gives me so much inspiration 🥰

Bethany Aitchison

We have a very senior doggie with some complicated health needs - I know how you feel when you say you're nervous to leave Frodo!

Mama Turtle

💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

Nadia Meyer

Thanks so much for the cozy vibes! I’ve been feeling really exhausted and overwhelmed lately but seeing your videos always cheers me up ☺️💕❤️

Madeline Merlic

So happy you have a Patreon!! Omg ❤️❤️ loved the painting, so excited for all of you upcoming content. I’m here for it all 😊 Vienna is unreal, I loved it 🥰🥰 Also, in this video and your most recent YouTube ones, you seem so much happier and free-er, if that makes sense; so happy to see you finding a grove that works for you.

Bon Schweetz

Also! I went to Vienna for the first time last year (for a client meeting!) and it was a really beautiful place! Definitely worth it ❤️

Bon Schweetz

Can't wait to see the Indiana Jones fits for the jungle

Mariana

I was so agreeing with you about the traveling without your dog dilemma then you mentioned real kids and I was like oh yeah, I have to worry about them too. 😆😆 I guess I’ve reached that stage of motherhood where it’s natural to bring them with us or I super appreciate the break from them but regardless, I miss my dogs.

Madi VanDoren

lovely video and painting!

Autumn Rose

Unsolicited tropical environment advice: pack a LOT of linen! Especially if you're hiking. The humidity is no joke, and nothing keeps you comfortable and protected quite like it. (Hiking in cotton can be dangerous because it doesn't breathe.) Linen will breathe and keep you cool better than anything else!

Jennifer Cox

Hi Rachel! I just wanted to drop a line and tell you how much my daughters love watching your videos! I've been watching for a few years now, and over the last few months they (8yo and 5yo) started watching with me. Now they are always wanting to watch "Teacher Rachel." Thank you for your positive, wholesome, inspiring (you inspired me to finally learn how to quilt!), and very entertaining content.

Ellie O'Hara

I've been meaning to join and just catching up through the videos has brought me so much calm and joy. Excited to be here.

Shylee McBride

I’ve been to Costa Rica several times and I really enjoy the La Paz waterfall gardens. It’s an easy rainforest walk, with a beautiful waterfall. There are animal experiences and a butterfly room.

Stina

Really enjoyed this calm little moment with my breakfast this morning

Delphia

Costa Rica is on my Bucket List, so I'm looking forward to seeing your take on it! I'm a wildlife rehabilitator, so I really want to go to the sloth sanctuary to see how they do things there. Plus, I want to hug a sloth!

Jasmine C

I completely agree! I went to both locations in 2018, I live in MN so we don't have mountains, it was such a wonderful experience.

Danielle Steinberg

I finally got the app so I can keep up with your posts! So excited to take in all the content I've missed since day one. Thanks for your awesome work! Be well 💓

Regina K

I highly recommend traveling to Vienna - it's a beautiful city - and if you're in Austria already, I would also suggest Salzburg. The pure aesthetic of that city is immaculate, you would absolutely love it.

Mina Murray

I completely understand about not wanting to leave Frodo. For ten years, my partner and I never had a vacation together longer than four days because we couldn't stand to be away from our beloved Albert A. Cat (of blessed memory). Before he came into our lives, we traveled a lot, but I don't begrudge a minute spent with him.

Angie

Don’t forget to sign your painting! Your grandchildren will be happy you did! Love the painting! Happy Anniversary!

Elaine Socha

Love the colors in the sky! When you go to Vienna you absolutely have to get yourself a Mozartbrezel, it's essentially a pretzel smothered in chocolate and totally worth being a sticky mess about

Rona Gehring

thanks for hanging out with us this was so cozy. 🤍 as much as it feels like your cozy corner of the internet it’s also ours.

Aoife Fealy

So cosy ❤️

Sarah Roop-Rosales

So pretty, I need to get back into art, too many IEPs to work on, the life of a Sped teacher 😮‍💨

Katy Beaumont

Lovely to watch some painting. I like to paint but I never get past the “what shall I paint?” stage. Oh and thanks for getting Where Do You Go by No Mercy into my head. That’s going to be in there for at least 3 days. 😏

tay

Edinburgh is very special to me and my husband too ✨✨ I love this painting!

Amy C.

I absolutely love these little chatty updates.

hologram

amid all the scary stuff going on right now, i'm so grateful for videos like yours that highlight the everyday joys of living <3 can't wait to see more, especially transformations!!

Zoe Christall

needed this vid today! So excited for all the vlogs and BTS videos!

Miriam Dean

I hope you can see the bioluminescent in Costa Rica!! That was one of the coolest experiences of my life (in Florida though).

Rox

Very nice and relaxing to watch 😊I hope that your wrist is gonna heal fast and I'm happy to hear about your travel plans ! Hope you'll have a lot of fun !

Laura Garcia-Cervantes

Great job! Love these chill videos ☺️ just got my adhd meds finally, soo I’m hoping to finish ONE of my paintings at last haha looking forward to vacay vlogs!

Christina Paz

Love these cozy hanging out videos!

The Vintage Queen of Everything

Beautiful work. I always enjoy watching you paint. I’m sure Nick will love it.

wheretheweefolklive

Yey! Thanks for painting my local castle!

Jaymie

My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Iceland for next summer! We live in Canada so I usually prefer warm vacation destinations but he has dreamed of going for years and it looks absolutely beautiful there so I'm excited. Costa Rica is also very beautiful, we went in their drier season so it was interesting to see the difference in landscape from the lush tropical jungle areas to the more dry desertish areas. Prepare for lots of bugs in the jungle haha maybe bring one of those head mosquito nets if they bother you.

Victoria

How you feel about painting is how I feel about cross stitch, it’s so satisfying to go from an overwhelming blank piece of fabric to a finished piece. They’re definitely both the opposite of instant gratification tho 😅 Also have fun in Costa Rica! I would go for the same reason of seeing a sloth in their natural habitat. There may be some rescues there where you can feed them and see them up close!!

Kate Parker

What a lovely relaxing video! And a wonderful coincidence that I watched this only a few hours after my husband and I booked our belated honeymoon in Costa Rica! We're very much looking forward to being able to travel more easily again now that the world is slowly getting more vaccinated

Rachael T

I went to Iceland in September 2018 and it was amazing! It’s a great country to camp and do a road trip in. So glad you guys are traveling again!

Chloé

This was so relaxing and fun! Can't wait for Iceland and Costa Rica vlogs 😍

Chloé

This was so relaxing and fun! Can't wait for Iceland and Costa Rica vlogs 😍

Sarah Leidhold

Rachel, I’m so excited for your trip! My husband and I went to Costa Rica in July for our honeymoon. It was the most amazing experience! We also used a travel agent, which was incredibly helpful. There is so much to see and experience there! We stayed in some really amazing places. We started in a cloud forest and then went to the hot springs near the Arenal volcano (sitting in those was the most relaxed I’ve ever felt). Next we explored the beaches at Nosara. And we ended in San Jose, learning about the city and the people. We got to do so many amazing activities, including hikes (during the day and at night- you can see so many neat animals with flashlights), kayaking, a tour of hanging bridges, swimming, witnessing a waterfall (Rio Celeste), shopping, and eating! I highly recommend going to local restaurants, which are called sodas. They have such delicious food and it’s so reasonably priced. I can’t wait to hear all about your trip! I hope you have an amazing time! Sending love to you!

Katy C

Lovely work, Rachel! If you enjoy painting, please do it more! We will watch all the painting videos, be it on a canvas or walls! Hope your wrist feels better soon! <3 Looking forward to travel vlogs!

Sarah van Dijk

This was so lovely to watch on a sunday morning when it's a bit gloomy and cold outside, thank youuuu ❤️

ElizabethTheMermaid

I love these cozy painting videos

Devon Walden

The sunset details at the end really made the painting come to life. Love these simple Patreon videos :)

Ashley

I'm going to Iceland this May! And my husband and I want to go to Costa Rica soon lol Check out Hey Iceland - they're a professional travel agency and they end up saving you a ton of money because they get everything booked at a discount. We've done our scheduling through them, and it's honestly been a lifesaver

Frankie

nice relaxing video and please share some of your Costa Ricca trip with us. I'm excited to see some jungly goodness.

Lord Frederick

totally missed the Bob Ross opportunity. The Colors (odd names) used on the bottom of the screen. And happy little details

Beth k

I love watching you paint! It inspires me to start my own projects. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tabitha Stewart

Being a pet parent is tough! And I am a people parent as well! You can take the small people pretty much anywhere with you, doggles don’t always get to go without a lot of effort xx

ida

awww so cute!! hope ur wrist gets better asap<333 looking forward to the traveling vlogs:D

Catie C

Definitely try and get up into the mountains when you're in Costa Rica! The ziplining is AMAZING!

Andrea Z.

What a beautiful painting! Thanks for taking us along. Also, happy date-a-versary! :)

Purrabelle

The painting turned out so pretty! Also, cannot wait for your travel vlogs this year : )

Nicole P

I’m going to Edinburgh in 2 days! This was perfectly time for me 😂 and lovely to watch!

Kate Ashton

The tilted fireplace in the background makes me feel like I'm in the captain's quarters on a pirate ship. I'm not mad about it 😂

Bridget

It’s best to assume everyone is going to die with the GOT series, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised when they don’t!

yamigirl2356

I am so excited for all the future content you’re talking about! I love your transformation videos and travel vlogs. I am glad you now have a space where you can upload the things you love doing most without the stress of an algorithm. The painting turned out lovely. Your artistic ability always astounds me even though I’ve been watching you for several years. PS at one point you talked about possibly doing gaming videos and with your type of humor I think watching you play video games would be the bees knees. Just a thought. So glad I am part of this space so I can follow you on future adventures!!!!!

Maria Cuccaro

vienna is amazing! you should totally go

Amanda Upchurch

Enjoy your painting videos! I was expecting a red signature at the bottom of the painting à la Bob Ross! LOL Good work! Hope the hubby loves it! ❤️

Amanda Meehan

I love your painting videos!!!!!!

Bailey Compton

Plz take advantage of ~*~”paintreon”~*~ 🥰

Nora W James

I used to live in Edinburgh and I love this!

Dominique Duguay

Me three! Rachel is my Saturday brunch buddy 😄

Jennifer

Gorgeous painting and such a fun video to watch! My family did Costa Rica way back in 2004 and it is still one of my favorite memories! Absolutely beautiful places to hike. And we did a zip line which was super fun :).

GingerGeege

Special things coming in April?! Ooowee! How did you know that’s my birthday month? 😜

Shelby Jacquelyn

Im making the year of 2023 the year I get into painting! It looks so much fun and I’ve always wanted to learn!

Diana Lawson

I hope you have a great trip! Loving the patreon content!

Sarah Kane

You should go to Rome! Architecture, history, amazing food, wonderful wonderful people. Seriously I cannot sell it enough lol

Bridget

So excited to have a cozy painting video to enjoy on a snowy Saturday! Making me want to do some painting as well.

Mikaleigh

I tried this and it worked! Thank you so much :)

Natasha Sawicki

Painting over an existing piece that is already in a frame that you like is brilliant!

Edith

You gotta come back to Scotland so I can show you around! You guys would freaking LOVE Loch Lomond

Kathleen Painter

Watching from Edinburgh like 👀

Crimson나비

I really enjoyed watching you paint. I also feel like painting, sewing and drawing is like soul-food for me <3 and your painting turned out great! Also I hope you can catch up on your traveling dreams this year, I'm doing that too, after putting off everything for the last 3 years :)

pauli.in.existing

AH! I am currently reading the GOT books and now I konw she dies!! I really did not see a spoiler coming from this video! Btw the painting looks incredible and I wish I could get over this first wave of beeing overwhelmed... I have so many unfinished paintings and projects laying everywhere!

◖⁠⚆⁠ᴥ⁠⚆⁠◗EvelineSunflowrs◖⁠⚆⁠ᴥ⁠⚆⁠◗

Not gonna lie, subscribing to your patreon was the best financial decision that I made EVER! This video was a great way to relax after my first week of the spring semester in Uni:)

Jannette Alejo

This was so nice. I totally get not wanting to leave Frodo, I leave my house for a few hours and I'm missing my little one. Very excited for the travel vlogs, definitely make sure to wear some good SPF cause tropical sun is no joke take it from another phantom skinned person. Painting turned out great, happy dateversary!

Sarah & Shelly

Have you tried opening it on the Patreon app? Then it opens a proper YouTube video. That's what I do, because then you can cast it to the TV

Mikaleigh

I'm not sure why but this post and your previous won't work for me. The player just says something went wrong and won't let me open it. Anyone else having this problem? ☹️

Rebecca

My sister just got back from a trip to Iceland! She loved it and said it wasn't as cold as she expected (and she uses a battery-powered heated coat and socks in Virginia 😅). Have fun in Costa Rica! Be prepared for lots and lots of bugs, but a visit to the jungle is so worth it!

Sarah Prior

I remember you painting a field as a gift and Nick not remembering it because you've been to too many fields. Hopefully he remembers this one!

Killedbyrabbits

I really need to remember that trick of buying printed paintings from the thrift store! So far my favorite thing to paint acrylic on is "mixed media" paper. It has a good thickness so it doesn't warp and it's not too textured. I don't like canvas texture very much. This painting turned out great!

Samantha E.

I’m SO excited to see your Costa Rica blog. It’s a place I really want to go! You should visit the JRC! It’s a rescue home for all wild animals. I think you can even volunteer for a day.

Nicola Godman

If you’re planning to see the northern lights make sure when you book that the full moon is nowhere near your trip it’ll block your view of the northern lights.

Margaret MacLellan

P.s. TOTALLY get the pet parent "leaving the pup" blues ! 😢

Margaret MacLellan

Loved this ! Was amazing seeing the transformation!

Rachel Hines

Tip for you. If you do go to Vienna, go to Salzbürg as well. It’s where most of The Sound of Music was filmed. It’s also where Mozart is born. If you want a magical place, it’s literally a time capsule city nestled inside of a mountain.

With Love, Kristina

Happy anniversaryyyyyy!!!! This painting turned out so cute!

Elena Joy

Hope your wrist heals well!

Elena Joy

Hope your wrist heals well!

Tim Chuma

Feel better soon. Carpal tunnel is serious enough if left untreated people have had to stop drawing :-(

Krista Mastaler

Love watching you paint. It is relaxing and I hope you do more of it. ❤️

Alexandra Blackburn

I spent 7 weeks in Costa Rica in my 20’s doing volunteer work. On weekends I would stay in hostels with other volunteers from around the world (Ireland, England, Amsterdam) and we would see sights. We hitch hiked and went to bull fights. It was the most amazing experience of my life! Soo excited you get to go!!!

Miss MozzyDee

Happy Anniversary you two! I hope that you have a wonderful time! I love the painting!

Ainsley Mayersky

Your painting turned out beautifully! Also, so sorry about your wrist - hope it heals well and quickly 💕

quinncy ♡

you have the best patreon content already istg!<3

Frankie

Love the warm tones you brought into the clouds/sky - looks magical :)

Racheal Jones

One day, one hundred years from now, at dawn, I imagine that Laser Beam Mary, Mother of Christ, will reappear in that painting - and it will be classified as a miracle and become a great shrine. :)

Aubrey Gladish

My takeaway from this video is that Nick is clearly not a Patron. Rude. (kidding, hopefully that's obvious)

Sarah Campbell

I definitely get being proud of putting up your own artwork. That’s how I feel when I do photo shoots of my daughter. She inspires me so much.

Julie Mendez

You did such a great job! Hope you have a great anniversary!

Emma Polaris

The travel & fur parent problems are real. 😅 My fiance was just saying to me last night we should probably start planning for our spring and summer PTO together. Our cats would be fine, they have an automatic feeder, but we adopted a rabbit in August 2022 and he just needs so much more attention on the daily. Also my mom guilt would be so strong because he's my little man! 🥰🐇

Josephine Röser

Lovely Video. And Vienna is always worth a visit ❤️ especially if you enjoy architecture and arts

Shadow Queen

😆

Jennifer Craw

I haven't even watched this yet, but I have had one shitty day and just seeing the email from Patreon brought me some much needed joy. So thank you!

Emma Carpenter

Happy anniversary Rachel & Nick ❤️ the photos you posted on IG stories were so cute! Looking forward to the travel vlog.

Dagbjört Dúna Rúnarsdóttir

Hi- this was so nice, thank you for bringing us along. I am happy you decided to come to Iceland in September- the weather is still nice (as nice as it gets at least) here and a good chance of both northern lights and puffins in that season.

Badger

I totally get what you said about having to leave Frodo. I have two birds and even leaving them for a couple days stresses me out because they’re so smol and I love them 😭

Dagbjört Dúna Rúnarsdóttir

Sorry, no puffins in April here :( but a good chance of northern lights and definitely horses ;)

Caroline Quincy

Not wanting to leave our dog keeps us at home too. 🥰🐾

Madeline Shaklee

I hope you have a great time adventuring in Costa Rica, the rain forest is so beautiful and amazing!

Carol B

Lazer beam Mary has been blessed by your landscape

A.M. McPherson

Beautiful job on the painting! We're currently wrist brace sisters 😆 I am wearing one on my left because I overworked the tendons while writing and doing other crafty things. It's no fun, so I literally feel your pain 😅

Miva

We appreciate you, Maksy. We, two random sisters from Norway, love to drink wine and watch your videos. Which we are doing now. Never, ever, ever, ever, change. Now we're gonna go watch sexy Gandalf because it is iconic! Peace

Ali Phillips

As both a human-parent and a pet-parent... they are both tough jobs!

Melanie Tyrrell

That was absolutely lovely! 🥰 I wish I could paint, I usually just get photos printed on canvas 😂

Krystle Poulin

The short lifespan also makes it harder to be a pet parent. I hope to have 50+ years with my kids but I know my dog only has about 15 years, the first 5 being before we adopted him. I take him everywhere I can to fit as much living as possible in his years. He loves traveling with us but it does limit us to drivable destinations.

Lucy McLaren

It turned out so good, and was very relaxing to watch! I’m going to Edinburgh on Monday actually, such a gorgeous city.

Krystle Poulin

Please be careful around monkeys. They look innocent and cute but on my visit to Costa Rica a mob of wild monkeys attacked our tour van. The driver was used to it and stayed calm but the monkeys banged on the van for probably 10 minutes before we were able to drive safely again without hitting any of them. Those 10 minutes felt like an ETERNITY!

Erin Sheehan

The painting came out great! My husband and I went to Edinburgh for our honeymoon too. We unfortunately had to cut the trip short though... so getting back there is a goal, for sure. This video just reminded us to make that goal a reality sooner rather than later ❤️

Marjolein de Raat

I lived in Edinburgh until about a year ago, so this is super nostalgic for me! Very lovely, the details and textures are so nice! (Though painting over Mary did hurt my soul a little bit 🙈)

Maura Cavanaugh

You make me want to get artsy again and try something like this for myself! Your rock wall video actually inspired me to finally paint my office after 2 years of putting it off. I thought if Rachel can sculpt rocks out of nothing in less than a week, you can get your butt motivated to paint this tiny dang room 😂

Hannah Joyce

I am also a go, go, go person on vacation and my husband and I took our honeymoon to Belize. It was amazing. We did a good mix of beach days for him and exploring for me. My favorite day was when we went to a Mayan archeological site. I hope you have an amazing time in Costa Rica!

Lee

Rachel grimacing “sorry, goodbye!”, as she paints over the Virgin Mary is *chef’s kiss*. Love the painting. I will visit Scotland someday to track my Clan Morgan roots.

Stephanie

So coz, so cute.

Jenna Buchanan

I love this!! But for real I do want to see any monkeys you may come upon in Costa Rica! 🦍🦧

Awkward Birb

I love that you have a patreon now it makes me so happy that we get to see projects like this ❤️❤️❤️

Whiskersomalley

I loved this, not that the picture looked bad at all but once those fine details start coming in it really flys and looks incredible

Helena Zephyr Alexandri

I think we all want a follow up to know Nick's reaction XD On the subject of traveling to Europe, I highly recommend visiting Denmark, at least Copenhagen!! I went with my best friend back in 2017 and we stayed for only a week, but we got to see so much. Let me tell you, I took over 1000 photos and I think the majority of them are architecture. I'm not religious at all (agnostic if anything) but I love looking at cathedrals. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (museum) in Copenhagen is absolutely amazing (and is free on tuesdays, at least when we went). It was super easy to take a day trip up to Sweden as well.

Michelle M.

Main channel videos are still happening, just less frequently.

Michelle M.

Pet parents have it hardest in that part of their family isn't welcome to join them everywhere they go. I hope you can at least rest easier knowing Frodo is being well cared for while you are away.

Mara Luthien

I'm so excited to watch this when I'm homeeee

Paige Williams

If you are on the pacific side of the country in Costa Rica, ask your travel agent about The Monkey House. It is the coolest place! They built it as a place for the monkeys to come get food, rather than trying to cross this huge highway (where they were dying). It definitely feels like a scam at first, but then this family goes into the forest and calls the monkeys in from the forest, and they descend down from the trees and crawl all over you and eat bananas out of your hands. It was the most magical thing that we did while we were there. Like a dozen monkeys crawling all over people.

Michelle Crocker

I'm so glad you started a patreon and I hope some of this money is what is helping you take these trips you do such a great job of making me feel better I hope we make you feel better love

Morgan Ludington

Hello - beautiful painting! I live in Edinburgh and have a view of the castle from my bedroom! The grassy area in your picture has lots of daisies in the spring/summer - one of my favourite spots :)

Annie-Rose Ferguson

This is such a sweet idea for a present (even if under guise)! Happy 13th dativersary!

Amber Rhodes

Thank you for this video! Such fun. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do extra videos!

Jess Sykes

I love watching your painting videos. I’ve always wanted to do watercolours and landscapes but have no idea where to start!

Heather Jones

We love having this cozy space too 😊 Looking forward to Jon & Ygritte!

mikayla12223

Imagine if in like, 1,000 years someone finds your painting and then discover it was painted over the religious figure and theyre just like "what does it mean?" And ascribe some ridiculous allegorical meaning.

Mackenna J

It turned out so lovely! I'm so pumped for all the content that will live on here. We love a cozy space!

littlegoblingirl

10/10 ♥️

Piper

Thank you so much!

Jenn Anaya

good luck!!

Becca Marcus

This was so cosy! Excited about what's coming

Julianna Stout

Absolutely loved everything about this! And the painting is beautiful! 😍

Sarah

RE: "Being a pet-parents is tough" - I just had an online account insist on me setting up unanswerable security questions, most of them revolving around my nonexistent children. Middle name of my eldest child? I guess I should have given my cats middle names... Hope your trip goes well! Looking forward to the travel vlog!

Lo Lla

Hmmm, heading to the thrift store today. Ty for the inspo!

Tova Svensson

It would be fun if you did some written posts here on patreon in between the videos! Just some brief updates, maybe hints for your upcoming videos!

Beth

My Dad is a travel agent and it’s SO NICE not to worry about the details when he plans my trips. 👍

Chloe Hedenskog

I like that you got a travel agent to help plan. A really good tool to stay happy. don't need to use all that brain space to plan something and gain stress from it.

Aoife Fealy

So I seemed to have missed the moment when we became the Fellowship but I LOVE IT!! Living my dream Hobbit life 🍀

Kayla Hendricks

Maybe I should look into using a travel agent! I get so stressed about planning trips. And can completely relate to the stress of leaving pets! I just keep canceling trips 🫣

Piper

Lovely way to relax before my job interview 💜

Alba D

Ahhh so cozy and so sweet 😭😭 makes me want to try painting some landscapes

Janet O'Brien

I love painting! I'm not great at it, but it does sooth my soul.

Andrew Miller

Congratulations on your anniversary and have some lovely travels!

Franziska F.

Loved hanging out with you while you painted and I ate Tom Ka Gai. 😆

Leigh

Edinburgh! Such a cool place! You did a lovely painting of it, too--I very much admire your painting skillz, specifically with the shading and light! Also! I hope you have a lovely time in Costa Rica and get to see many birb! Hope your wrist forgives you very soon!

Mama Turtle

🖤💜🖤💜🖤

Naomi Chartier

Love the painting, can't wait to see what you get up to on your trip! :D

Leigh

Agreed on the Salzburg! It was a GORGEOUS city, and there's a salt mine in the environs that's hecking cool to visit!

Alicia

Love this and was this dollar store paint I saw 👀👀

Kathy Thielman

Weird question... what's the pink soda stream you're always drinking? I have a soda stream too and yours looks so yummy!

Brittany Staples

Woot! A chill painting video! You've made my Friday! It's so nice to sit and hear how you're all doing - I'm also sad when I go on holiday because I have to leave my cats. The pain is real!

Arti

I love the painting, it came out beautifully!! I totally agree about not just wanting to sit in a resort when you're somewhere new. There are new cities and nature to explore, why travel to another country if you're going to spend the whole time sitting in a hotel? Maybe that's because I'm also not a beach person, though I've tried to convince myself that I am. Costa Rica is an especially beautiful and vibrant country that you're going to love! I have friends there and honestly, the beauty of the jungles and mountains is unmatched.

Molly McGlynn

Sorry to hear that you got injured :( but so excited for some cozy Rachel content <3

Kim Wheeler

I am just like you, a resort holiday just isn't really my vibe! If I'm going somewhere new I want to see all the exciting things. And if I want to just chill I'd probably go somewhere more local like a spa or a cottage to read books, or just cuddle up at home. We also have the issue with our cats. They seem to alternate needing medicines or some special care, it makes it super awkward to go anywhere even just overnight, let along a longer break. Absolutely worth it though. At least people can take their actual kids on holiday with them 😆

K.

Uhmm…isn’t exclusive bonus content the point of Patreon??

Derek

Happy Date-a-versary!🎊🎉 Lovely painting. Thanks for sharing. Ah , Costa Rica. I hope your itinerary includes seeing lots of wildlife. I hear the stegosaurs and triceratops on the islands off the coast of Costa Rica are lovely that time of year!

Vivi

Looove love loove the painting!! So excited for the upcoming projects 😍

Annette

❤️

Emily 莉莉

such a relaxing little art interlude~~

Carrie

What a great way to start my Friday! ♥️ You’re an amazing artist and I would absolutely buy your work! I’m so happy to hear about your travel plans! But I’m sorry to see that you hurt yourself 😣

Ashley Johnson

Lovely!!! And the way I almost did a spit take when you said “..sausages” 😆 I was not ready

Bad Honey

When you said "battery exhausted" I thought you meant your battery and we were going to cut to the next day.

Hal Forbess

Costa Rica! I went once years ago, it's beautiful. Pura Vida!

Rachel Halbert

I think if you didn’t do this you should have been a painter!

Elizabeth Lutgendorff

If you want adorable Austrian vibes also check out Salzburg. You can also take the best train from Switzerland which goes through the Alps (the rail jet) which is AMAZING.

Nicole Christie

So coz and relaxing after a very long week!!

SakuraHarley

Very pretty!! Yay! I'm so excited for your trip! Enjoy! So nice and relaxing eating breakfast and watching you paint. <3

Haley Borden

Ooo such a lovely way to start my Friday!

You're going to Love Costa Rica!! We went on our honeymoon as a bucket list stop for me, because I needed to see a Sloth in it's natural habitat. And it's just stunning. The people are fantastic, it's just awesome. Keep an eye out for the monkey lines that are strung across roadways for wildlife to cross safely, travel safe and have a great time! (Also love the painting :) ) Also, if you're going to be there during the wet season.... ya get damp. Brace thyself.

Just curious. Are you not going to post your videos to everyone anymore ?

Abigail Lunsford

Same!

love this cozy little video!! so grateful to be here for your patreon! random, and idk if it's because of the virgin mary picture, but all of the recommended videos that popped up at the end were like, intensely religious videos, that's never happened to me before 😂

Just as an aside on the Northern Lights - there were two massive ejections from the Sun last week and on Sunday and Monday nights we had such a strong aurora display that I photographed it from North Oxfordshire, UK at 52 degrees latitude. It was visible to the naked eye as well but only if you know what you're looking for. It's always such an amazing experience to see it so I hope you get to do your aurora trip soon.

We rebooked our pandemic Iceland trip for April. :) So excited to (hopefully) see the northern lights, puffins and shaggy horses!

I absolutely love this. My husband is Scottish and my stepdaughter is in her final year at Edinburgh Uni so I know this view well :-) I can't wait to go back up there in June.
