Wish you lived closer. We could have a blast. The sound effects and little noises you make are what I do! Seriously! I was watching this, and my son thought it was me making the little sounds and using the same verbiage as you. If you ever make it to Arizona, we will have to go to play! Be blessed sweet lady!!

[@LoriF25403]

You have me hooked on Holbein. I went to Savannah a few weeks ago and they have Blick Arts. Since I don't have any real art stores, it's one of the highlights of my vacation each year. Needless to say they had the Holbein and M. Graham on sale. I treated myself. Thank you so much!

[@helenpernicone8994]

Oh so cute!!! I’ll have to make these😍❤️💕

[@sabinecuppers]

Love it. ❤️🍀

[@thokchomjayshree8089]

Sweety pies. Would love to try it.

[@maryannknox7158]

Sweet ☃️

[@utubeatak]

Hi Ellen, love these adorable guys. Going to try them as a Christmas gift for my daughter who loves birds. I signed up over on Patreon. So glad you're there. Having access to the reference drawings etc. is great! I also wanted to mention your videos with voice are super, super helpful and fun. Idea for future demo...llamas? I've seen some really cute ones with flowers on their heads or Christmas ones with berries etc instead. They're so cute with the big eyes and lashes. Anyway...just food for thought and thank you!

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you so much!

[@cecilialofgren1396]

Sweet!🐦

[@charlinerodrigues2661]

Thank you very much 👍😊

[@ellencrimitrent]

Always welcome

[@shaylyc]

So so cute! You are so calm and I enjoy your paintings very much. MAybe the lil bird needs a third toe on one of them? 😁.

[@ellencrimitrent]

😊 thank you

[@mayloo2137]

Your illustrations are cute. I've been thinking of making my usual painted Christmas cards. My concern is, with Covid, I don't know how to get the cards to the people on my card list, so I will be limiting the number of people I make cards for. Hopefully, next Christmas will be more normal.

[@destresswithyoga]

So ado!!!!!

[@marcwheeler4406]

Do I think you think you will ever do a traceable book illustration of items your draw 🤔?what i mean is instead of going to patron for each traceable to download you could do a book form of your drawings to trace? It's just a idea, my family doesnt have acess to a printer so I was just wondering I could always buy a book format it's another potential revenue source...mikelle New York mom sometimes feeling a bit strong at times lol...😷🎨

[@karent.8245]

Can you say, adorable?!

[@01fatina]

💕💕💕 Благодарю вас !

[@SO-be3dv]
