Also a Morgan's fan here😀 and very happy to have met you through her video! I like your aesthetic. I started watching your old videos and I have already learned from you -the masking fluid for starters-..Thank you🤍🕊

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw thank you so much! I am so happy to have you here and am honored you've connected and taken away some ideas already!!! 💛 ✨

[@zoek3848]

Saw you packing up our order. Warmed my heart so very much! Our daughter absolutely loves your book and flash cards. Thank you for the joy your art has brought our little family and magic to our home ✨ My husband’s name is Randy and my/my daughters middle name is Lynn, which made me like your art that much more 💕 Coming across your channel was such a blessing! Thank you for your hard work!

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw, Zoe!! Thank you so much for sharing this! It made me smile SO much to hear your daughter loves the book and ABC cards!!! And how wild about the names!!! I am overjoyed to have you here and am so honored by your encouragement! Thank you 💛

I was guessing at Miss Potter before the title came up! 🤣 I love that movie. Hated when Ewan died. 😭 I don't even have a private porch anymore, but I used to love to garden. It was just absolutely magical. We had a rabbit, and that was my fertilizer (the droppings; you don't bury the bunny). You don't have to compost it. It's great. My columbines were as tall as the mailbox. The philippine lily was taller than I was. We had the best dirt ever. I mixed the perennials with the herbs and the antique roses for my English style cottage garden. :)

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you for sharing Tara! I loved hearing about your beautiful garden! That is one of life's wonderful joys, cultivating a garden! 🌸 🍃✨

[@thaisokubaro4254]

Hi, Randi! I'm new here (: I loved your vlog and your art is so inspiring. I'm from Brazil and I have a one-year old baby girl, so recently I started to have more free time for myself, now that we are kind of getting into a routine, so I wanna spend more time doing things that I love like reading, watching vlogs, studying Japanese, and maybe doing some creative work. I'm definitely gonna binge watch your channel 😂 so if you see me commenting on older videos, please don't think I'm crazy, consider me more like a time traveler, a distant relative from Doctor Who, maybe HHAHAHA I hope you're having a good week ❤️ and congratulations on your 5k subscribers!

[@RandiLynnReed]

Oh hello Thais!! It is so nice to hear more about you! (so cool you are studying Japanese!!!) I am so honored and overjoyed to have you here. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos and am honored for you to go down memory lane with some of my older videos! Thank you so much for sharing and for your kind and thoughtful comments :) 💛✨ Have a wonderful week too!!!

[@gracemccartin194]

Hi Randi, I loved your painting of the flowers in the foreground with the beautiful sky with lots of movement. It made me think of the movement in Some of Vincent VanGoah’s paintings. Did you know he was a pastor’s son and a missionary for a time to poor coal minors, then he decided to share God’s love through his paintings. Anyway; thanks for sharing your art and your day. What a great thrift haul too, 🥰 GraceHolly

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw thank you so much for sharing GraceHolly! I didn't know that about Vincent VanGogh! How fascinating! ✨

[@laurens_library_xo]

Hey Randi! Sending a hug from Kent in the UK. I found you also from the lovely Morgan and I am so glad I did. Your videos are so incredibly beautiful and inspiring. I love everything about them and have so many to watch, which is such a joy. Stay cosy, from Lauren xx

Thank you so much, Lauren! I am so honored to have you here and am so happy to hear you are enjoying💛✨

[@janblountauthor]

I’m new here too…you just popped up randomly on my suggested youtube feed….Not familiar with Morgan’s channel ….looking forward to checking her out….I’m a great fan of artists studio vlogs …..your editing is beautiful and love love love your art. Our styles …at least subject matter is similar…..very nature inspired …how can it not be living in the PNW …..I’m your neighbor …live in the country just outside Oregon City. Taking advantage of the drippy weather today …doing a studio update…tidying.

[@RandiLynnReed]

Oh hello Jan! Very fun to hear a little bit about you! I am sure you will love Morgan's videos too ✨ Thank you so much for all your kind and thoughtful words, they are so appreciated! And I am overjoyed you found my channel! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, even though it is another wet one! Hopefully the sun will arrive this coming week ☀️

[@owlaboot2447]

My wife and I are huge fans of your videos, they are always a special part of our day. My wife is celebrating a milestone birthday this weekend and I wondered if there is any chance you could wish her a Happy Birthday in your next video by saying "Happy Birthday Snookum Snookums!" It would really mean a lot to us both! Thank you & God Bless!

[@RandiLynnReed]

oh hello! I am so honored you both love my videos! That makes me so so happy to hear! I unfortunately have already filmed & edited this weeks video, but I will add a special note in my video description to honor your wife's special birthday weekend! ✨🎈🎉

[@owlaboot2447]

@@RandiLynnReed Thank you so much!

[@delicatedots]

This was such a cozy video to watch!! I love that you started the Beatrix Potter film while sketching. It's one of my favorite beginnings of a film. It gets me in the mood to paint!! :) Thank you for your YT channel! It's always so fun to watch! I live outside the Portland area and totally understand the "Yay the sunshine! Oh, now the cozy moodiness!" lol.

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you so much, Jaclyn! I am so glad you enjoyed! And my goodness, it most definitely has the most cozy and inspiring opening!!! I loved every minute of it (and the whole film too of course!). I literally laughed out loud to your comment about the sun 😂 its just so true!

[@suzanneparvey4346]

Congratulations Randi on having 5,000 subscribers. That is a big milestone. I really enjoyed watching you paint in your sketchbook and smiled at you watching Miss Potter. I love that movie and have it on dvd. I have read different bios on Beatrix Potter and have such admiration for her. Not only is she a great artist and writer of children's books but a great conservationist. Love her art. As for the weather here in PDX I relate to your comments about the weather. I get so excited if the sun comes out briefly and hits my sun catcher in the window and spreads a rainbow. Man it can get gloomy. One just has to make a warm comforting cup of tea and bring out a good book to read to make it better. :) I get so excited if we get sunshine as it effects my mood immensely. I get so much more done. I will have to eventually check out The Girl Who Drank The Moon. Right now I am a bit behind in my reading. I admit I pause to read Mary Oliver often as I need her poetry. Have a good weekend Randi. I know its another wet one but sunny days are ahead of us!

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw thank you for another lovely comment Suzanne! I always enjoy reading what you share and it always makes me smile :) Beatrix Potter was an incredible woman and she is definitely one of my biggest inspirations! I would LOVE to have a cottage like hers one day but, probably in the woods! There are a couple of biographies I want to get and read about her! And yes, really hoping for that sun to come soon and stick around!!!☀️ 💛 Enjoy your weekend too!!!

[@evangelinepoe8952]

💜 🎈🌿 congratulations ~ milestone reached 🌻🎈💚 Well deserved and so happy for you! 🥰 You’ve inspired me to head to the garden center and pick one more plant. And then, of course, a coffee must be bought to celebrate the new addition. Loved the video. From the first moment to the last, warm and cozy. Thank U!

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you so much, Evangeline! I love to hear that you are working on your garden too (and yes of course, cheers to the coffee ✨ hehe) 💛 I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

Ah, that was so cozy and enjoyable Randi! 😍 Congratulations on 5k subscribers!!! 🎉 If you venture to Hood River, their Goodwill is So Awesome! I have found many treasures there, also including a beautiful edition of the Secret Garden most recently.☺️💕 I am such a sunshine girl but I'm finding that I do miss those moody Portland days for the coziness they bring! I'm wishing for a gorgeous warm and sunny summer for you!! 🌞🌞🌞

Thank you so so much Kristen! Morgan and I just ventured to hood river not that long ago but must have missed the Goodwill! We will have to visit it next time :) 🌞💛✨

Another lovely video, Randi! Your sketches were so pretty.

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you so much Stephanie! 💛

[@boglarkalinszky6257]

Oh how lovely to see a new vlog from you, dear Randi 🙏❤ I always love to see the tools you use for your beautiful art! I wanted to ask about using oil-pastels in a sketchbook. Do they stick to the other paper next to the one you used them on? I got really inspired to try them out. Thank you so much for your time 🌟 Wishing you a very beautiful weekend ❤🙏

[@RandiLynnReed]

Hello! Thank you so much for watching! And yes, oil pastels will stick and smear on the neighboring pages, so if I am using them I will often tape a scrap piece of paper over the artwork to keep from smudging or I will spray it with a fixative that keeps it in place! I hope you enjoy experimenting with them! ✨

[@juditkovacs1205]

I'm here from the video with Morgan, and am really enjoying the videos thus far. Really appreciate how aesthetically pleasing all your videos are.

Hi Randi! I was watching it while it was pouring haha🌻 enjoy your rainy days

[@rosemarygilman8718]

Congratulations on getting 5000 subscribers!!! I know what you mean about the cool, wet Spring. I could tell you were a Pacific Northwesterner when you said, “I’m going to take advantage of this sun break”. I had never heard the term “sun break” until I moved to Seattle from California 33 years ago. Now I live in Olympia Washington, so were practically neighbors! Loved this video. Thank you!

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw thank you so much Rosemary! and hahaha yes, sun breaks can come so few and far between!!! Hopefully our sunny summer weather will be coming soon 🤞☀️ ✨
