Bought my print can't wait to get it xx

[@marybowers1650]

So ex ited you are painting and selling. Will go to the website.

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

Michael you are so talented,funny and kind!I ,as a painter on glass really enjoyed your vlog today!Thank you!

[@pshadday8399]

Missing your vlogs. You are very kind and supportive.

Foxes are golden.

[@nadeansimmons226]

Have you thought of doing a book of the chateau with just paintings and drawings of scenes around and in the chateau. eg. glass house, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, front door, chapel, cottage door etc. It would be amazing and not intrusive like photographs might be. It could have little captions or paragraphs about them.

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Great idea xxx

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

Great idea!Michael's videos are moving paintings!

[@helenstella2666]

What a wonderful idea 👍🥰

[@kdean9537]

@Nadean Simmons I agree, what a wonderful idea! Michael is so talented, it would be great to have an artists impression of the Chateau & surroundings...especially the resident artist who actually lives at the Chateau! 💕💕

[@kellykalka3163]

Great idea! Horses, cats, flowers!

[@sheilaosullivan3056]

It would be great to see you interview your Mum and Dad. They have a great work ethic and your Dad is just amazing for his years. X 🇨🇮

[@mrs.e3909]

Michael, you might want to have Ryan disable the "save as" option on your artwork, and water mark it with your name over the image on the web site, of course the prints won't have the water mark when people buy them. It is better for people to buy the prints from you, than save and copy to print at home.

[@lindamitman4538]

Definitely do this!!!!

[@leighalmond4128]

Yes!!! Protect your art please! You have already had unscrupulous people steal your art Michael. I don't want that to happen again.

[@jenniferkoolman153]

You really need to do this to protect your art work.

[@TheErador]

Disabling right click is pointless, as screenshotting is super easy. Watermarking is much better

[@lotusdolphin]

Most definitely you need to do that!

[@dianam9848]

You need to put watermarks on the display of your prints on the web site, otherwise people can just save and print them.

[@cynthiabroockman1752]

YES sadly happens lots DO it sooner than later Charlie Mackesy had big problems people doing that even printing up tshirts with his art of the boy, the horsr, fox and mole

[@annemiekvandorp4457]

Is there no end to your talents, Michael?! Incredible. You can draw, paint, sow, cook, play the piano, DIY, vlog/edit, do make up and hair etc.. And all of that on a really high level. It's a joy, watching you. Regards from The Netherlands!

[@MrsBadger]

I was thinking the same thing. I love KZbin as it makes people like Michael available to all of us 😊

[@formermichiganian]

I'm glad you were able to get a website to sell your prints. You have such a talent! I'm sure it will be a success. I wonder if you might sketch Sadie's horses, Queenie and Elsa? That would be a great print. Look forward to your future art projects.

[@morenatrooper1438]

good idea.

[@silverskye888]

Your Dad is my hero. Horse fences, cobblestones, and wall panelling. He is helping everyone! Your drawings are amazing, I hope you will be well rewarded for your artistic talent and enjoy much success.

[@kerriebruce8840]

Your drawings and paintings are beautiful you are truly talented ❤️

[@sheilaosullivan3056]

It would be beautiful if you did a storybook for Ernest and Archibald with some of your drawings Michael. Xx

[@ashtondurham5075]

The website is beautiful and the artworks are charming, well done Michael. A Renaissance man you are, best wishes.

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

After Billy cleans the chapel, like the beautiful chateau, the peach ,amber sunset glow on the chapel would be a lovely watercolour,just a suggestion! Maybe some daffodils in the foreground also would be stunning! Good job today,Michael.Love to see you paint!Art will never fail.

[@cynthiabroockman1752]

I love the chapel even more than the chateau.

[@kellykalka3163]

Michael… Your paintings look great!!! How nice that you and Ryan were able to work together! I think you could write a book… the mouse that lived in the chateau! So excited for the progress in the gardener’s cottage! 💕

[@jennymay4720]

Really good painting Michael, so nice to see you working. You would be good at illustrating too, as well as being a fine actor.

[@barbaragrace1992]

I cannot wait to see how you decorate upstairs. It's going to be awesome because you are so artistic. Glad to see movement and to see you on your own channel again. I know we all missed you.

[@eileengeldard323]

What after everybody else has done the hard graft. And is 'Steve' being paid out of the money you got for doing up the cottage? Or are your family 'doing it themselves' (again). Perhaps rename your channel to "Watching my family doing. it themselves!?:

[@barbaragrace1992]

@@eileengeldard323 don't be so bloody horrible. Michael has done plenty for his family and he is the reason they all have channels. Have you even watched all of his videos? Every human has a block and needs help sometime in their life and this is what family is all about. Unless of course they are all perfect like you. If you don't like a video there's no need to be bloody nasty. Just buggeroff and watch something else you piece of nasty.

[@margielynch7196]

Go soak your head, keep it under a good long time.

[@jodylynncr]

A suggestion for a print could be of the pony Elsa that lives at the Estate now. I know your viewers would love having a part of the Estate hanging in their homes.

Michael - I loved seeing your drawing and painting process. I could watch for hours. If you sold blank notecards with a print of one of your animals on the front, I would love to buy a bunch of those. Just a thought as you expand your shop.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Well done Michael and Ryan. Hope this makes you bucket loads of money. Can't wait to see loads more prints. Little Tommy Tittlemouse was gorgeous, please do a print of him! The chateau must give ample opportunities for your art work. The lake, the stream, the trees, the chateau, the chapel, stained glass windows, the main staircase, gardeners cottage, the blue and white china, the greenhouse and produce, your pets, the chickens, even dandelions and daisies would all make a great print. The front gates would be great too. Turn it into wrapping paper and birthday cards, also loads for Christmas! The opportunities are endless. I am so happy for you.
