Wonderfully whimsical. Love the enormous tail plumage and wee little wings. This is the makings of a children"s story. ❤

[@nancyoverbay7608]

I love how you just “go with it”….

[@megl9527]

I drift off watching your videos too - it’s so peaceful! I end up watching the video two or three times!!

[@carolyndaughton3373]

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this painting! It's so relaxing watching you sketch this little bird and then add all of the creative embellishments. Birds make me so happy and I'm not very good at drawing them, but watching you create this makes me want to keep trying. This is such a happy painting and I hope you do some more birds. I love his open beak! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@jackieportsey1442]

Very therapeutic watching you and background music restful

[@jennyc5132]

It brings us peace and joy too....

[@avanellehansen4525]

I want to make an under the see booklet. Jelly fish, starfish, sand dollars, kelp, etc. So inspiring.

[@ronileef8279]

The foreground flowers don't seem to overtake the bird. Enjoying your morning videos

[@carolvasenko3438]

Watching you is like a meditation.

[@donna6516]

Your little bird made me smile and you make it all look like magic, CeeCee! Thank you, thank you.

[@christinewilde110]

Thank you. Keep up the good work. I don't know how you keep doing different ideas. X

[@joarriaga5613]

So calming.

[@judyhammond3181]

Beautiful and whimsical.

[@elainemiller5909]

These are adorable.

[@KimSimful]

I love the little bird! The birds are finally back! Spring is here!

[@sherizapara2992]

So so so adorable!! Calming...thankyou.

[@hartlanegallery]

Love love love this sweet little bird! Announcing the start of spring! Thank you so much for giving us a smile this morning!

[@michelleosborne8951]

Hi Cee Cee. Some watercolor paper companies don’t put Sizing on both sides. That’s why the paint doesn’t flow well. It just sinks in the paper. The sizing keeps it afloat more.

[@tararoberts183]

This is beautiful and so peaceful to watch!

[@ginettegingras7081]

What a happy little painting! I love that you’ve haded a little bird♥️

[@lisaeve5571]

So clever. Such a simple painting but stunning. Its very peaceful watching you create.Thank you.

[@yvonnebarnes3039]

I am so fascinated with the way you move that paint around...love watching you create.

[@pamelaward667]

Love this picture. Thank you. Need to try your technique

[@Loupa57]

I so like the meditative tone of these videos. Also, I’m very much an early learner in watercolour use, so this pace suits me really well. Thank you.

[@kathleenashcroft3187]

I love your paintings I could watch you all day long. Thanks for sharing your talent

[@trishthurston1031]

Wow- you are so talented and inspiring. I have really enjoyed my lockdown period practicing with you online. Thank you so much.

[@angelnanc8]

Totally love this birdie! So cute and sweet. and the touches of white here and there are charming.

[@Tadi3a]

I love everything you creative and how you create it. I thank you for sharing so much with us. You are truly my inspiration and muse.

[@renatecormick7399]

I’m particularly amazed at how you did the bird’s tail, so accurate and without any pencil guidelines. Clever you. I could just watch your doodling all day, well almost all day! Thanks for the fabulous work you put up for us all to see. R.

[@ChrissieNicely]

The birdie IS adorable! I find it meditative to watch you, too. But ... it's the also the music which has that effect, I think.

[@eveeichner3627]

I love birds also.....such a wonderful, cute birdie! Thank you! Hugs! 💖

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Absolutely adorable, love the gold addition. Tfs xo

[@plarsen2654]

Yes. Joyfulness best describes your artwork and the feeling I receive while watching you paint.

[@blt4502]

[@angelagutknecht3700]

Birdie is adorable. I go into the zone when I art.

[@purpleplump6650]

Loving your morning doodles, so pretty and so inspiring .......love watching you. You make it look so easy..... it isn't because I've tried to copy your techniques!!! Sweet little bird......🐦🐦🐦😊

[@Nurse3811]

This is super cute. Very relaxing style of work, looks like it would really relax one after a rough day : )

[@periwinklesjourney4150]

Love your videos especially the whimsical ones so inspiring. Always painted with acrylic, but ready to do something different like water colors.

[@inspiringcreativeexpressio9993]

Love watching you, so beautiful and fluid. Intrigued by those doodling brushes. Thank you for sharing your wonderful eye & talent!!

[@fazestorm4441]

I love the bird

[@pattigelineau7898]

So fun! I’m learning and you are very encouraging 💕

[@tammyhampel1449]

Priceless! So cure. I am learning so much from you. Everyone has likes and dislikes about how a video is presented. I enjoy when you paint to music and then speak about your work, or occasionally break in and explain. I find the music very relaxing.

[@lydiemonin977]

So delicate so elegant thank you so much CeeCee😍❤️😘

[@JellicleKat]

This was just beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@rainforme1850]

Very relaxing. I like the doodle picture. Love your talent and imagination

[@judyandersen3842]

Yes, I am mesmerized by your painting....it’s so relaxing, I wanted to try and paint with you but forget it! Lol! I totally enjoyed watching! Thank you!

[@creationsceecee]

awh, that is so cute and i am flattered. wishing you a wonderful saturday morning!

[@bettyhannan3771]

You mesmerized me. Just beautiful!

[@mossmade5x5]

Tweet, tweet! It is so sweet, I can almost hear her sing. I adore birds singing and springtime walks. I live in Wilmington, NC and spring has sprung. I led a 3 month long women's group years ago and I played a tape that had birds singing. I taught progressive relaxation and guided imagery, That was 30 years ago. I found the cassette tape and an old tape player. The moment I heard those birds, my spirit soared and I was right back in that peaceful forest. So many of us fall victim to our own busy minds and franectic paced lives. Anything we can do to slow down and just breath, live in that moment I believe is meditative and medicine for our soul. My mind still resists shutting up or just slowing down, but I have learned what things take me to that secret place of peace and joy. Artting and birdsong are near the top of my list. Some of us, speaking to me first, learn the hard way to slow down. 6 years ago I was in debt over my eyeballs, working 7 days, at the end of a 30 year career that I should have ended 10 miserable years before. In just 7 months I had 3 major heart attacks, flatlined the third one, it took 3 steens to open the right artery that controls heart beats, a triple bypass and a year of bed rest. Fixing the clogged pipes to my heart further weakened my mitral valve and I was told I would need another heart surgery as soon as I healed from the first. I closed my business, almost lost my home and only 1000 dollars monthly early retirement as income. Its 6 years later, and I'm happier with my life and who I have become than I could have ever imagined. I am living as the artist I wanted to be since my mom bought me a John Nagey charcoal art kit at age 8. Finding your happy place may be a better name from a meditative state. Meditation conquers all sorts of wacky images in my head, But whatever name you choose to call it, you know your art takes you there. And your art takes us with you and becomes the birdsong of our hearts. So... Tweet tweet, tis sweet.

[@creationsceecee]

oh, Nancy... thank you so much for sharing your story. i've often heard stuff like that and that is what woke me up in 2005 when i quit the corporate world. the stress was killing me slowly. debts and an unhappy marriage is part of an old life that i can't even relate to. more than 10 years later, with very little money to sustain myself but debt-free and a roof over my head is how i found my happiness. "ART", my current boyfriend, fills my soul with joy and endless discoveries. i am grateful for it every day. you are a very courageous woman and i applaud you for the way you've chosen to live your new life. congratulations on achieving your dream of living the creative way. wishing you a wonderful weekend, filled with bird songs and colours.

[@mossmade5x5]

Yes, we are both blessed. Happy weekend.

[@mossmade5x5]

oh I forgot to say we are both free :-)

[@sheelkhirbat9857]

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@TerrieJohnson731]

I am embarking on some bird studies soon. It seems to me the simplest of big shapes of all the critters. I dont do animals yet, so it could just be me. There are textures that prevented me, but I love the tail on your bird, and with new brushes I have had success leaving the unpainted lines! I LOVE my watercolors too. Cant wait to send you something. I am in watercolor beginner groups on FB- and I am like, some of these are NOT beginners, lol! I love the blue and gold and been stuck on that color set for backgrounds! I will go to my watercolor wheel and bust out of it for my bird painting. Wishing you the best of days!

[@tinyteddiesbyelke]

just love it and the hand cram makes a great resist ♥ thank you !

[@carolekinsey7835]

So relaxing and such a pretty little picture. Very cute and inspiring. Thank you. I like the white and the gold just adds a bit of richness. X

[@bekee]

it’s mesmerizing, watching you paint

[@lauriek6183]

You have inspired me! Just found you tonight. I Love doodling more than anything else♥️♥️

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Your paints and brushes are fantastic, but your skills are amazing. I bet you could also do this with cheap supplies. Very, very beautiful CeeCee, thank you! 🐦

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, MIeke. that's a very sweet compliment! maybe i should do a watercolor with cheap material video...

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

creationsceecee Really? That would be so inspiring, I'm 100% sure you can handle any brand.

[@monalcreates]

Adorable little bird!! Love the whole painting and I agree with Jenny, the colors are yummy! Wish you a nice and creative weekend as well!

[@creationsceecee]

I love listening to your voice and your music and watch you paint and doodle. When I get creative block (or a migraine), I find your videos very inspiring. It’s a great escape! ❤️

[@Celticslovr]

Then you'd absolutely LOVE ASMR! I do and my husband thinks I'm WEIRD but I do not care!

[@juchlu3081]

Hello Ceecee, today isn't a good day for me, but watching you paint and listening to the music helped me calm down and smile. Thank you so much for sharing your videos. Greetings from Germany, Jutta

[@hollydawsonjames1999]

Hi, I have watched many of your videos and love your style, your a very talented lady. I have been practicing doodling, not has easy as it looks. in the evening I sit watching (listening to) tv, work on this. It's not as easy as it looks. Just like my granny use to tell me, practice makes perfect. I love your work

[@sherylhardy3059]

Oh, my goodness, I love your videos! I had to paint this bird, it's so awesome! Thanks!

[@carolbrinkman9748]

I see the bird first. Really cute. Love the tail feathers. Love your work. 💕

[@saravillicana4143]

Hi. I have gotten used to watching your videos. Lately, I tried some of your tutorials and I am delighted with the results. They do not look like beginners. Nonethe less your teachings are simple, direct and beautiful. Thank you so much. Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico.

[@noreenkellett3863]

I am both in love with and jealous of your imagination lol, you are inspiring and the colours you choose are just beautiful and work so well, thankyou for sharing ☺

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Noreen. i believe we all have the power to imagine things -- we just need to invite it. so grab a paintbrush and just drop some colors unto your paper... you might surprise yourself with the result. :-)

[@AprilRoseNW]

I loved this ... it was so relaxing !

[@rainforme1850]

Very delightful picture love ur talent and playful creativity

[@lechat8736]

Wonderful, wonderful... The white lines are not at all too much - just right. There are different stages of meditation and your so-called bubble stage is one I am in while creating something I love. I call it bliss...hahaha. It`s the second room to creativity. When you enter it slowly and without fear it presents a glimpse of the soul`s connection to the universe and ideas flow through you like in a dream... Thank you!!!

[@creationsceecee]

you've explained the bubble or bliss state really well. thank you for that!

[@danaleeds9819]

Love your bird!

[@johannadalbertson5324]
