This was beautiful artwork...I'm on palliative care but palliative care is also for anyone who needs help controlling their pain and not only dying just incase anyone is feeling afraid of palliative care thank you Helen

[@helencousinsbotanics]

@@deborahmeyers551 thank you for sharing that Deborah! You’re right - “living with, not dying of….” I hope I explained it well enough ♥️ I’ve pinned this comment to the top so that people can see it clearly.

[@deborahmeyers551]

@helencousinsbotanics thank you Helen you explained it perfectly well thanks for all you do for patients. I've been fighting cancer for years and feel lucky to be here also the job you do know palliative care is incredibly awsome and you have studied hard for it and it's an achievement that really not just empowers you but to have you on our side is fantastic thanks for pinning my comment ❤️

Thank you for sharing Helen, I love your adventures in Sky but would also love to see some tutorials ❤

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Thank you for your comment Shirley. That's good to know! I'm thinking about taking Skye on a little winter trip in January, maybe to Scotland to find some snow! So that'd be fun, and I'll definitely film it if I do!

Love your art and wish you peace and creativity these next few months. I would love to see more flowers and perhaps some verbal instruction to go along with the painting. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see you paint.

Oh I'm so pleased to hear that, thank you so much for watching ♥

[@ackc263]

I’m really looking forward to seeing more of your work and being inspired by you. I’ve been following you and congratulate you on taking some time for a while to follow your artistic side. I’ve recently retired and waited many years to take time for myself to find what I love to do and I’m so glad I found it in watercolour. I look forward to your upcoming videos. Merry Christmas from Toronto Canada.

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Thank you so much. This was a lovely comment to receive! I'm so glad that you've found joy in watercolour and I can only hope that I can continue to inspire you on your painting journey. Merry Christmas to you, too.

[@ruthcooper5761]

Thank you Ruth, that's great to know! ♥️ 💫 Thank you for being here.

Lovely to see you back! I’ve watched your Skye adventure/painting videos more than once - they’re soothing and inspiring. I’m sure I’m not alone in that I would be thrilled to see more. :)

[@helencousinsbotanics]

@@klbrown2294 thank you! Thank you for being back here (or still here!) after my break. I’m excited to create more for you!

Glad you’re back! I took a break mid career and refreshed and found myself. It was for the better as well.

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Thanks so much for being here, that's great for me to hear right now! I'm so glad that worked out for you ♥️ 💫

Beautiful! I love your posts from Skye and your painting and hope you do many more! When I want some inspiration and need to unplug and unwind I look to your channel. Thank you for sharing your journey, it’s helped me in so many ways.

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Oh wonderful Janet, that's so lovely to hear, thank you so much for sharing that with me! I will be here a lot more now. ✨

[@marriannevan-enst1677]

I would really like to see seasonal flower tutorials as I really love your detailed work. As a beginner I realise that it is more challenging than loose painting but that is part of the fun of learning. I have tried the Iris bud as a start. Thank you.

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Wonderful! I will definitely work on a few more tutorial videos ♥ thank you!

[@colourpascale]

Happy to see you again! 😊

[@helencousinsbotanics]

@@colourpascale thank you, it’s great to be back! ♥️

[@PennyHenson-r1l]

Thank you for sharing, both your art and your life. I love watching and working on "trying" to paint and I especially love the videos in Skye as I also have a small travel trailer and take my paints with me...

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Hello Penny! Oh that's so cool to hear you also travel and paint. We're very lucky! I will do my best to share some more very soon - thank you for being here! ✨

[@soniainateacup]

Lovely relaxing video to watch on this rather wet dreary sun :) I always try watch something inspiring before I get down to paint or sketchbook etc. Today is practicing some graphite drawing of pears as Im trying to improve my more realistic painting/drawing. Also lovely to hear of your journey and new adventures - very exciting. Yaayyy painting on your travels to Skye/Scotland/anywhere would be lovely and your inspirations eg the nature around where you are (i live in a very dense/urban area of surburban london atm so anything 'green' lolz is amazing) . PS. on a side note, an advert pops up right in the middle (notthing to do with you obviously but me as I dont have YT subscription). Im not sure if having your own platform one day might be in the works or through Patreon etc - Id prefer any monies I pay to go direct to the Content creator if that makes sense:) xx

[@helencousinsbotanics]

@@soniainateacup thank you so much for this lovely comment Sonia! 🥹♥️💫I hope your graphite pears went well! Thanks for the comment on the ads - I’m fairly sure KZbin is just putting them on everything these days, because I have no control over that (and I’m not monetised on KZbin yet!) but I really appreciate you wanting to look out for creators and choose where your money goes! 🥹♥️

[@jackieharries9219]

So good to see you back here Helen. It definitely sounds like you need a bit of time for yourself, doing what makes you happy. I love all your content so will look forward to it. Your film set up is great btw……crystal clear. 😊

Thank you so much Jackie - I appreciate you being here ♥️ 💫

Goodness. Stunning. Person and art. Thank you. I'm the wrong person to ask what's next because I'm just enamored with everything that you do.
