You are so talented, I so like the wallpaper

[@abyss5350]

A new video perfect timing while I’m waiting in shop, waiting twiddling my thumbs. As it just happens my flying pet “musca domestica” or buzz as I had named him ended up flying off into some pasture field filled with cows and others of his kind as he was actually pretty wild so he just flew back off into the wilds, I think his new home filled with cows and cow pies looked like a paradise to him as he really wanted out once he saw where he was and gave me a look of thanks for the ride as he flew off into the field. I’m going to miss watching him fly around just to see where he would land next

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

I bet buzz is really happy flying around in a field full of cow pies 🪰🤣

[@TexasGirl1633]

[@SylviaStreetStevens.akaSILLY]

Omgoodness, I I'M SO VERY GRATEFUL I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE THAT I HAVE FOUND IN THE 6 PLUS YEARS WATCHING VAN LIFE THAT IS MORE LIKE ME AROUND MY AGE AND DRAWING AN ART AND PAINTING, 😊 WHILE DOING VAN LIFE FULL-TIME.... I'M IN A HUGE HURRY RIGHT NOW BUT I AM SO EXCITED TO GET BACK HOME THIS EVENING AND WATCH ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS I AM JUST BEGINNING I BOUGHT A BUS ACTUALLY NOT A VAN I'M STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING OUT THE BUS WHILE LIVING IN IT WITH MY CATS, LOL... AND 53 YEARS OLD. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND MY PEACE AND HAPPINESS LIVING IN A SHORT SCHOOL BUS WITH FIVE CATS... BYE BYE GOODNESS I'M DOING IT AND I AM VERY HAPPY AND I AM VERY MUCH AT PEACE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT... AND I ALSO MAY HAVE SOME IDEAS NOW THAT I'VE SEEN YOUR VAN AS TO HOW YOU COULD HAVE YOU AN ART DESK INSIDE THE VAN THAT YOU HAVE NOW, AND POSSIBLY I HAVE LEGS THAT YOU COULD ATTACH TO YOUR DESK THAT WOULD MAKE IT A STAND-UP DESK AS WELL THAT I USE I HAVE ACTUALLY FIVE EXTRA ONES and would be more than happy to be able to bless you with them should you be able to use them... My name is Sylvia and it's so great to find you and meet you today. Have a very blessed day and I will surely comment back to you very soon. (In 6 years this is the first time that I've ever left a comment introducing myself, I just feel such a connection with you through watching your video where you drew the monkey and wanting to do art that is just me to a T... Again have a very blessed day)

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

Hello Sylvia!! I'm so glad we can connect! I'd love to hear about your bus! I mention in this video how I want more space, possibly a small bus. What kind of art do you do? What is your medium?

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

🥰😊🥳

[@caroledavies5201]

Good on you girls Would love to do this You are both an inspiration ❤

[@HoboJoOnTheGo007]

Hey Sylvia…I’m Sylvia also, 5 yrs un my van, and an artist. I use to do oil painting, now I’m learning watercolors. Easier in my van. Would love to meet up with you.

[@dismaldog]

Beauty and talent,loving your videos Michele.❤❤❤

[@nanacat2379]

Michele, met you at Lulu's meetup in Feb. Loved your van then. Love the work you've done since then! Especially that wallpaper! I am about to insulate my ceiling. Maybe similar to Lulu's. That wallpaper would look great. Now, question about your art. This is the 1st time I noticed that you sell prints of your art. How can we see what you have to sell and how do we order?

[@nanacat2379]

Oh, I'm Cathy from NC.

[@loisdunbar7855]

I love your art do you sell it somewhere

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

I'm working on a website and will link to it in the next few days 😊

Your art is so beautifull.Art classes from the road????

[@neecywatson8250]

Wow!!!!! Amazing talent❤️can you suggest printing places. Thanks

[@serenityjewel]

It's cool to see another artist on the road. I'm in a minivan so I'm creating small. I would love to caravan with a bunch of other creatives one day. I think there's a rubber tramp artist caravan somewhere,

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, or RTR! It's in Quartzsite Arizona every January. I've never been. We need something on the east coast because I keep seeing other artists say the same thing 😊

[@cdnbuddy5798]

I would love to know. Your minimal art supplies you bring with you on the road?

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

I use Bristol paper, and for the pencils I use a 4B mechanical, 14B Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matte, and for super darks I use Mars Lumograph Black 8B. I use a tissue or makeup brush to blend, kneadable erasers, and Mono Zero for details 😊

[@robinw285]

Love the care with your packaging of your artwork. Professional👏👏👏

[@donnabootes7272]

I'm watching from Australia i love your video thank you and Sophie is a beautiful dog ❤❤😊

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Congratulations on your channel. It has really taken off since I first started watching you. I'm the lady with the two Pin Pins same color as Sophie, but they are brothers. I had mentioned before about getting the nail grinder you use on Sophie, and I've had huge success using it on both my dogs. Sammy just lays back now and is amazingly relaxed when I sand his nails. I also bought them some doggie wipes, they love it when I wipe them down at night with the coolness of the wipe

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

That's so great to hear about them doing well with the nail grinder!!! Yes, the channel has really taken off! I wish I had more time to devote to it 😊

Hi.. i love your channel and your art.. as a artist you know the eyes go to color.. with your white walls the black seams show.. when you get time use a bit more of the white painters cauke on every seams and gaps in your ceiling and sides.. you have done a great job withe greenery.. keep up with this great channel.. also that window just needs a better track system.. maybe a window repair place could fix that..

Really love the art especially the deer. Would go great in my sons room. Might have to buy one soon from you. What size prints do you mail out if someone buys them?

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

Hi Chastity, and thank you for your kind words! ❤️ The Deer drawing is 18x24 inches, but when I get prints, I get 11x14.

This is wonderful. So happy to have stumbled across your channel. Nice to see someone around my own age traveling who is also a graphite artist 😊

[@tamiweinert1007]

So cool! Would a slant board with a clip work as an art desk?On your lap and upper end leaning against your bed, maybe a folding stool with a little back for support? I know storage is at a premium but could be kinder on your back and neck. Foldable and slide it away. BTW, your hair is the bomb! Beautiful.

[@tamiweinert1007]

And cuddles for sweet Sophie. 😘... pretty sure that sound was a gun shot.

Hi Amy, and thank you!! 😊 I have a few North Eastern meetups on my calendar this spring. Hope to see you at one of them!

[@HeatherJacobs-r5h]

Michele, what a talented artist you are. I think you need more greenery in your van because it will give it a more boho vibe. Also, add more meal preps. Food works for a lot of us...lol. Enjoy Sophie. She is perfect for you and seems to be really content. What about thrifting...are you into that? All the best. Heather Ontario 🇨🇦

[@LifeWithMicheleSilver]

Thank you, Heather! ❤️ I'm sure I'll get more greenery. It helps hide the ceiling gaps! Meal prep videos or what I eat when I travel.. Great idea!! And I was just thinking about checking out some thrift stores today 😊

[@dfros1957]

Michele, you are very talented. I love your art. 😊❤️

Perfect beginning and perfect ending video. Hey Michelle !!!!! I enjoy watching and thank you for having me. I was laughing about you not saying certain words around Sophie. When I’m on the phone I have to spell words out myself? They know and they are so smart. Again you look so beautiful and give Sophie a kiss from me. Be safe, be happy, and always keep your head on a swivel out there. Your buddy ric in nor cal.

[@naturelover1284]

sitting like that on a foam bed has given me hip issues be careful

[@robertstephson7455]

The monkey drawing with such a subtle range on the gray scale needs an equally subtle matte and frame. The simple black and white one you chose is heavy-handed. It's like saddling a woman with very delicate features with black horn-rimmed glasses. If you can, spend on custom choices and... you'll be even MORE in love with your admirable picture. Trust me on this one!

[@TishToshSlots]

what if she likes it the way it is?

[@robertstephson7455]

@@TishToshSlots I'm a trained visual artist who works regularly with professionals on color issues in print media, videos, and interior environments. I watched Michele's entire video and cared enough to offer a suggestion. I'm also an adult. This means I understand that Michele is free to consider what I say or reject it. The real question is why you feel the need to interpose yourself between myself and Michele in the way that you do.

[@BookMama72]

Ugh. Go do your art your way, and leave her alone.
