My mom started painting in her 50s, and now, in her 60s, having done it for 10 years--she is quite good! Never too late to start something new.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I love that. It's never too late!

[@kellieliacopoulos8005]

I love that!! :)

[@Animegorly]

This is Incredible Jennifer. You have inspired me to live a rich and beautiful life that I aspired to live. I have started learning to play piano and painting. I never thought I could paint well but every one around me are surprised that I can do it well. Thank you for being such a light to us. You are truly a gem.

October always fills me with joy and sadness. I always grieve the passing of summer.

[@dailyequanimity]

There is so much to enjoy here, from your pretty nature walk in your beautiful outfit with Henry David Thoreau's "Autumnal Tint" excerpt (loved this piece!) and journal painting to seeing your newly-designed home, the floral arrangement, your mural party and even cleaning the refrigerator. It's a life well lived. Autumn is my favorite time of year and I love seeing the changing leaves so reminiscent of my days back in Ohio. We celebrate the season with pumpkins and I hand painted some happy faces with magic markers and sharpie pens along with white-out. Then, I added a cute black-and-white gingham bow to each pumpkin and gave them to neighbors, an elderly friend of my parents and another neighbor who was recently in the hospital. On a recent walk, I looked at the spiders and their intricately-designed webs in amazement. Someone mentioned how hard spiders work all night, only to have their webs destroyed by strong winds, but they rebuild every day! I didn't know about that lovely observation, and every season, as Thoreau writes, reminds us that nature is a wonderful teacher.

Jennifer, it sounds like you are enjoying fall! Thank you for the beautiful video, as always! I am a watercolor artist and live in Ventura County, California. I have been painting for over 10 years and I am learning something new every time I sit down to paint. I used to belong to an art group where we would sit down, have tea and paint and it was delightful! My teacher was a very good local artist. The teacher has since moved on, but I keep learning through the magic of online courses. I am a member of the Valley Watercolor Society (it is in the San Fernando Valley) and a local artist society. If you are interested in watercolor, you probably have a watercolor society in your area. It is one of the best places to find a teacher that you can learn painting from. It will be worth every second!

Jennifer. Thank you. Another calming and inspiring post. You’ll never know how much peace and calm this brought. I am in NC and our mountain region has been decimated by hurricane Helene. While my immediate area was not affected I grieve for my fellow North Carolinians that have been. Your post was a breath of fresh air and lifted my spirits greatly. Thank you again. ❤😊

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. We are praying for everyone affected by Hurricane Helene!

[@deannab9511]

I used to take art classes from a lovely woman in our town, every Wednesday a group of 8 to 10 ladies would get together at her home art studio. We would freestyle paintings, have tea and snacks and it was so much fun! Watercolor is always my favorite! Beautiful fall video Jennifer ❤🍂

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

How fun! Love this!

[@luba-healthywithluba6866]

Dear Jennifer, thank you for such a lovely video! Your dress looks amazing on you, and those murals transform your rooms. A well-stocked kitchen truly is luxury and comfort!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you, Luba!

[@yaradoleh7782]

Today was a tough day; watching your video made it truly better. It helped put any negative thoughts away, grab the moment and enjoy the beautiful sunny autumn day. Thanks

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm so glad this video was a bright spot in your day. I hope it continues to get better!

[@21972012145525]

[@nikkiwitt9475]

Beautiful video-I don’t know how you do it, but you’re more inspiring than my spin class instructor!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I like to hear that!

[@21972012145525]

😅😂

[@21972012145525]

Maybe because she's not forcing you to break a sweat! 😅😂

[@juliemoore6957]

Jennifer, you look beautiful in that amethyst color!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! ♥

[@bonniewoodard2771]

OMG, the murals !!! Breath-Taking ... Inspiring .... Outstanding !!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! I love them!

[@wisewomanhealing]

Love the dress and the wall of book covers, Jennifer. Congratulations on your publishing success.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! ♥

[@reginasemenenko148]

October, November and December are my favorite months of the year. Purple is my favorite color and I just love all of the shades from, light, medium to dark hues.

[@gilinb7]

Loved the outfit for the brunch, beautiful ❤

[@carolynmaves503]

We have had a magical autumn at our home. We have a small house in a wooded area, lots of oak trees which means lots of acorns. For 2 weeks at dusk we have had a white tailed doe bring her 3 fawns into our front yard to eat the acorns. Our house is passive solar so the southern wall is mostly glass making wonderful viewing of the nature surrounding us. The deer could see us as well as we could see them. We would stand quietly so we could watch them as long as possible. The large fawns would drink my bird bath dry every day, of course I was happy to refill it. We must savor these unexpected magical moments when they come along. Thanks Jennifer.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Wow, that sounds enchanting! How wonderful ❤️

[@carolynmaves503]

@@TheDailyConnoisseur One afternoon Mother Doe came alone. The western sun was slanted at a sharp angle so we could see she had long whiskers hanging down from her muzzle, maybe 10-12” long. I was so surprised. My husband nicknamed her Whiskers. 🙂 She is a good mama, her triple fawns look wonderful.

[@Jasmine-nf5bk]

Thank you for sharing some of your time with us, Jennifer. I have been very emotionally and physically "out of balance" lately. Your video is a calming pleasant surprise to enjoy along with my morning tea🤗. Until next time...

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you!

[@sophieoriley7437]

I am hosting a mending party tonight and need to clean my house- your video was just the inspiration I needed to make my home beautiful and a hospitable place for my friends! Thank you for making such beautiful content!

[@meenakshi6344]

Wow, a mending party. It's the first time I have heard of such an event. Sounds like fun. Hope you have a good time

[@JeanieHislop]

October is my favourite month. Now I live in the Southern Hemisphere and it is Spring 💐another favourite time of year🌸 from New Zealand

[@pchinn4373]

I love the wall of book covers!!

[@deannab9511]

That color is lovely on you Jennifer!

[@Bnl4e2010]

Your videos bring such a peace over me. They are very calming and encouraging. I just love them! Thank you for taking the time to share with us and give us motivation to continue our homemaking journey. ❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm so happy to read this. Thank you!

[@amerriefaerie]

Moonflower is beautiful and highly toxic! I always enjoy your videos Jennifer, they make me take time to pause and contemplate my day...

[@sarahburke8955]

I love how your watercolor is progressing! How inspiring.

[@Felicia594]

I love your new living room. It’s much calmer than before! I think you went from English to Parisian esthetics.

[@DorisG232]

Hello Jennifer, you look beautiful and your house looks amazing!❤❤❤❤❤

[@evasochocki5209]

I think it's so nice that you are painting now. Especially when you thought you couldn't for so long. How did you learn? I want to learn. I've wanted to do this for a long time but I don't know where to start.

[@yolandamarrero-lopez9688]

Several years ago, I purchased a watercolor palette and brushes, but I had the same limiting thoughts - I’m not artistic, I can’t do this. You have inspired me once again. I will be taking them out of storage and begin with a flower! Also, the murals really pop with the ambience lighting! I love it!!

[@janjentz1053]

A lovely video. Beautiful and peaceful place to paint. In So. Utah where we live, we are covered for music, Shakespeare theatre and other concerts and plays. The University has a lovely little art museum with changing exibits. The best part is its only 5 to 10 minutes to these venues. Your brunch looked like so much fun and I love your dress.

[@ashleychung1378]

Hey Jennifer, just wanted to say thanks for sharing your lovely and whimsical home! I really enjoyed taking a peek at your space and getting inspiration. And that dessert party idea sounds like so much fun! Ashley ❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you!

[@MissBabalu102]

What a splendid discovery, I just found your channel. I fell in love with your books long ago, and at the time I was strangely unaware that I was half French. Now, if I could only return to France on a yearly trip...... Nice to know we're sort of neighbors, after traveling a lot, LA seems somehow smaller.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Welcome! ♥

[@whatwouldpicarddomakeitso9607]

Thank you for sharing . Such a lovely video . The stunning colour of your dress was beautiful on you . That last shot of you on the bridge really was so lovely . 🇬🇧💛🤍

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you!

[@kellieliacopoulos8005]

Oh, Jennifer! You look absolutely beautiful surrounded by all the heavenly nature!! Thank you for the reminder to slow down and just look around. I appreciate you so much! See you Thursday and have a divine day!! With love, Kellie

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you, Kellie! Much love!

[@21972012145525]

Jennifer, i have to know how you did your hair both in the forest and when you went to brunch. Absolutely beautiful! Please do tutorials! Your hands, nails, and nail color are impeccable ❤ your skin, hair, and nails are just breathtaking throughout the video. I mean, is evan using a filter on your for the closeups in the forest? Eitherway, your skin and eyes are glowing! You're definitely doing something right and it inspires me ❤ the dress would also look nice with a velvet/velour jacket for evenings or once winter begins to match the shoes.

[@fanirivers4505]

Having come back from vacations, this video has motivated me to plan upcoming days with new ideas and beauty.

[@annettegiardino3728]

Your home looks wonderful!! The murals are beautifully done!!

Such a beautiful video, Jennifer! And sweet to see your art journaling progress. For me drawing and painting are the best meditation! The murals are beautiful! Your great room still projects light and airy in the evening light. ☀️🍂🧡🍁✨Happy, happy October! The month has arrived so beautifully here in the PNW, I fully captivated by its aura and golden light!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Happy October!

Beautiful fall video. Those murals are outstanding and so dreamy!!! I love the way you’re decorating your home. 💕

The Quince dress is a beautiful color for you! I also love the nail color

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you!

This video was very enjoyable for me. October is my birthday month and i feel like things are finally changing for the better for me after a long time. ❤ Onwards and upwards, alhamdullilah!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Happy birthday! ♥

[@Tealight402]

Beautiful as usual, but where is the rest of desserts ? I was waiting for it 😂

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

The party kicked off and I forgot to film them! 😅

[@yolandasilverio1205]

As always, lovely

[@toniwadsworth7577]

I was thrilled to see the gorgeous moonflower ! I have never seen one but I have the book How to Be a Moonflower by Katie Daisy on my bedside table this month. I highly recommend this book. It is filled with poetry and watercolor drawings exploring the natural world from dusk to dawn. I think you and your children would enjoy this book. Twilight , Dusk, Midnight , Dawn !

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I need to read that! ♥

Oh Jennifer, in case you weren’t aware, tomatoes should not be refrigerated, cold temperature changes the texture and flavor of the tomatoes 😊 lovely video!

[@gardengirl7446]

❤ lovely ❤

[@uka2354]

What motivates you to keep doing the things that you like and helps you, like Intermitent fasting. How did you continue even with stressful and sad days ❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I might do a video on this. It's a long story! Thanks for the request.

[@21972012145525]

Great question. Would love to see a video as well.

[@oljaaaaaaa]

Jennifer! May I ask what color you hair stylist used? It's lovely 😍

[@21972012145525]

You are very brave to pain without an apron on! Id be terrified of ruining my clothes. Is that the new china you're using? I wish you shared the menu at the brunch & what you ate. Your plate looks yummy. You could try removing the label off the juice, it basically is a pitcher as is. 😅 Or you could do water bottles, and then pour the juice into the pitcher. Alot of the furniture shown in the shot from the dessert party looks similar to your bedroom decor. Ex. The large white mirror. Do you have multiple items of the same piece? Omg the poor bananas 😅😂😊

[@laurawolf9613]

🥰

[@kallistoindrani5689]

Totally besides the point of the video but I just noticed that the TV is rather small. I guess I was expected the 'standard' huge TV. Not sure why. 😂😂

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

We don't watch much TV, but we could use a bigger one! haha

[@Miss.Denise94]

[@rubaidasharmin4579]

With those shoes on it is difficult to sit for a long time.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

No, the shoes are super comfortable...
