The Other Side of My Art Life | Homey Art Vlog

A full month of side quests and unfinished to-do's got wrapped up in this longer art vlog. As I went home for a fun visit and then again on a mission to hang a sign for my grandma's flower business. I didn't get to start any new/large personal paintings but I am more than satisfied with the the good work done and the wonderful time I had this August. I hope you enjoyed this more behind the scenes look into my life and a peek into my childhood home. For those wondering I have 5 siblings, two brothers (one is my twin) and 3 sisters. They always inspire me when we're together! :) I hope your August was full of joy and progress in whatever direction you are aiming towards.
I will be gone on the trip I mentioned for a while (if you read these descriptions you get the sneaky bonus of knowing I am going to Croatia to see my other grandma) So in that case I probably won't be able to post in two weeks like I usually try to, but I'll be back after the trip. Cheers
Stay inspired,
Maria

2:35 I can't believe you didn't sing the peaches song from the mario movie here! it would've fit so well 😂 the painted sign looks soooo good ❤✨

[@mariasisul]

Haha my boyfriend sings it all the time! 😂 Thank you so much! 😊

[@Blick_Art]

That hand-painted sign is amazing! We almost felt like we took a little vacation watching this- fresh peaches, skipping rocks, bike rides, and the best quote about painting we're likely to hear all week: "You take a white canvas, paint over it, and it looks cool." Well said!

[@mariasisul]

😂 oh he loves painting over tape on a canvas then peeling it off. He struggled to explain it. But well said regardles! So happy you guys enjoyed the mini vacation.

Bless! There's no place like home 😊 Life snippets from a different country, love it, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing some watercolour sketches. Safe travels!! ❤

[@mariasisul]

Aww, I'm so glad you liked it! Hopefully there will be many sketches 😁💛

This was such a lovely video to watch Maria. It was fun learning a little bit more about you and your family. I grew up on a farm and still visit my parents, grandparents and uncle who still live on the farm...and it's so hard saying goodbye to them when I have to go back home...so my heart felt for you when you were back and missed them. I also loved how you shared the reason you like making peachpies as a tradition of your own. It made me think about what are some of my own traditions I've created in my adulthood. I hope you have an amazing trip and get to fill many many pages in your watercolour book. Ps. Laughed so much at the part of the video where you said...now you need to think of something else to do, because you don't know how to rest! I can absolutely relate to that!😂

[@mariasisul]

It is always so hard to leave, it's a great place to be surrounded by family. I bet you do have some lovely little traditions! Sometimes we don't even notice how they creep into our lives over time. I'm glad that made you laugh! It is a constant struggle to stay busy 😂 It's because we grew up on farms right

Nice to see you 're visit to your family . The flowers on the sign board are so beautiful painted ! wauw those peaches looked so tasty and what a good idea to make a pie that must taste delicious with home grown fruit . Enjoy the end of summer 🌻

[@mariasisul]

Thank you so much! 🌼 And it did taste great, the peaches were perfect!

[@MelMitchJackArt]

We have the same Liv gravel bike! Following along with your adventures is super fun! 😊

This was a great vlog, I need to watch it again but it was sweet to see the sign details. Dave from Canada

[@mariasisul]

Thank you Dave!

[@mrdad1996]

The start and the ending scene - and the story in between - all flowed so well, I have to say it's the best vlog so far, especially from the idea of much lesser voiceovers and more on-the-spot talks. Nicely done. Happy holidays.

[@mariasisul]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I thought that little intro/outro would be a good addition. I'll do my best to talk more on the spot, sometimes I just ramble too much though. 😅

[@lzal9204]

Love your videos. So inspiring

[@mariasisul]

I'm glad you like them!! Thank you 💛

[@Chef1719lf]

Do you have a house keeper? That house is amazing! Thanjs for sharing your experience with us!

[@mariasisul]

No we don't, I agree it's a lovely place 😊

[@Art.ASMR-You2]

You do 🎉 great!

[@TionneSolusar007]

Happy belated birthday! I trust you had a great day and celebration. Thank you for introducing us to your family and your family farm! They look like very nice and hard working people. Farmers usually are! What a great place to have grown up. I grew up in the inner city but my grand mother grew up on a farm close to here. If I may ask, what is the origin of the name 'Sisul'? My guess is, east-European. Have a great and safe trip!

[@mariasisul]

Thanks for the birthday wish, it was a great day! They are definitely kind and hard working people, I'm sure your grandmother is no different. I'm lucky to have them and that place as a home. You're right, it's from Croatia, Šišul. Which is where I'm headed 😁

[@renegadecamera6892]

Having sisters and currently being away from them, this one hit in a special way

[@mariasisul]

I feel it deeply too. Always missing them 💛

[@kenichiishirahama215]

Coming from newer videos it's crazy to see the reference image of a painting @7:38

[@mariasisul]

Easter eggs are fun when I get the right video clips for them ✨️

[@heidikuhnau6003]

[@Kattky_]

Wow!! The paintings and the sign are stunning💕😍😍😄 This is the last day of my summer break and this video literally made my day ❤❤ 🫶 Safe trip, Yuko from Japan 🧡

[@mariasisul]

Aww thank you, I'm so happy to hear that Yuko!!

[@thu6an]

You are a powerhouse Maria! It’s cool to see how you fit your art and practicing painting into your daily life. Happy Birthday and enjoy your trip!! I’m curious to see how these watercolor pieces will turn out. All the best, T

[@mariasisul]

Thank you! I'm curious how the watercolors will come out too, it's not a strong suit of mine 😅

[@clairekarls3732]

Cant believe it took my this long to find my awesome cousin's youtube channel. Thank you for capturing this moment with grandpa and grandma. So proud of you.

[@mariasisul]

Thank you so much Claire! 😊 I'm so happy you got to share that moment with me now!
