I’m so proud of you. I’m here late, as it’s the middle of 2024, and I’m going to see what you have done since making this video. But I’m proud of you. So glad you’re listening to those who know you best and have your heart in mind as they counsel you to do what you truly love and excel at the most. Those folks know what they’re talking about, I’m sure of it. God bless you!

Well Paul, what can I say that I have not already said to you in person? I am sooo thrilled to hear you say this, to hear your passion and see you so animated about your change in direction. This is you, wildlife, different mediums, no restrictions, just creating the images that put fire in your belly to be the exquisite artist that lies within you. I cannot wait to see what you will produce and to learn from your process, in whatever medium you care to use. Roll on 2024 and your new/rekindled artistic venture. Ps, I'm glad to hear you won't be putting yourself under pressure to post on here. Whenever time allows for you to put a video up, it will be worth waiting for x

I am happy to hear you are going to paint to your passion. I am 72 and just starting my short journey in painting and have set myself up in watercolour as I don’t believe I have the time to master more than one medium in my lifetime. I enjoy watching all tutorials but mostly watercolour as I have a lot to learn. I am looking forward to your ongoing videos as it will be you painting from your happy place which will certainly show in your paintings. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼✨🎨💕

@@paulappswildlifeart Thank you .. that’s encouraging! Painting has opened my eyes to actually take time to appreciate my surroundings and nature through colour and perspective.

Hi Paul. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad). I've been following your channel for this past year 2023 and I must say that I've learned a lot but, as in your case, I decided to focus on Wildlife more than other subject matter (though I always try different things to challenge myself) because to me wildlife is a passion and it is what I want to learn to explore more fully. Now, the mediums I currently use and that I can afford (you know... money is a scarce resource for artists) ate graphite, charcoal, coloured pencils (not as much though I have a small Faber-Castell set), ink, watercolors and gouache. These mediums have been my original investment since they are more "affordable" (as artist grade products, I mean) and one of the reasons I didn't get into acrylic nor oil painting yet (too expensive for me now while I'm still evolving), though who knows? Maybe someday I'll be able to. Good luck with the new format of the channel and naming, etc... I will continue watching it since wildlife is my passion and I always try to learn from the best artists and please let us know in the future if us (as subscribers) need to do or change anything in the channel to continue to be able to follow you in your new approach and passion. Best luck to you and I'm glad you have chosen to go back to what really makes you happy, 'cause life is too short (I also know for a fact!). Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎✌

I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials and love wildlife too. Whichever medium I appreciate the finished piece and hopefully perhaps propelled continue to watch and ear a different perspective. If the outline is available those watercolourists can adapt your work to suit. All the very best wishes in this redirection and continued good health. Better for you too, not to feel constrained in the one medium and away from your first love of topic and medium.
