  1. I look forward to trying this painting. Thank you! I loved hearing stories about the kids. I’m going to miss Keanen but it seems more personal with Michael

  2. These have been some of my favorite projects. I love camping and hiking, and I feel so much peace radiating from these mountains 💚🍄🌿

  3. Sarah, I could see your mind being blown when Michael told you about the moon perspective! How adorable you are! And the painting and knowledge sharing is perfect…thank you!

  4. Wishing Keanen well over at the quilt channel. Hope they enjoy his humor as much as I do….and I hope they allow his voice on their videos. The world needs to hear Keanen.

  5. Sarah I have been missing you. Your video's don't pop up anymore when I first come on. Going to make sure I have you saved on all the social media. I will miss Keenan! 🙂

  6. This one came at at great time! My 17 yr old niece is at Army basic training in Fort Leonardwood ,MO right now and said yesterday was 103 degrees. Maybe it will make her cool down lol Not that hot here in CT.

  7. Loved this tutorial! ❤️ We'll miss Keenan & wish him the best! However, I love Michael being there to add comments… so interesting! Especially about the moon! WOW! You make me laugh 😅Thanks for sharing! With love from a California Gramma ❤

  8. Love the banter, still miss Keenan it’s his food fads etc. it must have been hard for you Sarah with being and working together for so long. I have following over four years here in UK. I ok great joy in imagining loads of people looking at the moon through their legs and falling flat on there faces. You should watch the film where Wallace and Gromit go to the moon. Just glad Michael is working with you now the is such a similar banter but there is such that relationship with you both.

  9. You have always been a wonderful art teacher, but you keep getting better and better with how you explain concepts and the end observation about noticing how the painting makes us feel as viewers as a reference point for future paintings/compositions. What a joy to watch. I'm a better artist because of you!
