    I've been following you for several months. I love that you love Jesus! I could see Jesus in you from the first time I watched you on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing your gifts ( art and your infectious, joyful personality) with us. I'm 62 years old and I've always loved art. Most of my life has been spent working full time as a teacher and raising my family. I'm still teaching and caring for my familly, but in the last year I know God has been calling me to be more serious about learning to paint. I've been taking one on one art lessons from an amazing teacher and I try never to miss one of your videos. Thanks again, Sandi! You're so gifted and so much fun!

    As much as I enjoy your videos, Sandi, I'm a little saddened that we take up so much of your time. If I could package up some extra Time and send it to you to use on your art, I so would. Your work is delightful and inspiring - unique to you and unique in how it conveys a sense of life, an energy and vision. I wish it didn't have to compete with us.

The books I LOVED the most were "A Blossom in the Desert", I, too am a Born-again Christian, and love to hear about missionary work AND artist's testimonies all wrapped up in one! praise Jesus! -- and Peggi Kroll Roberts- painting loosely is so inspiring to me! I need more of that! and the third one that speaks to me is Maud Lewis's book (I saw the movie of her life a few years ago! Fascinating! - and would totally purchase both of these books- I also buy thrift store books and, in our community, we have a place by the hardware store where people leave their magazines that they don't want anymore- and you can take them, trade them, etc. I choose the ones that stand out to me- animals and people and landscapes, etc. So inspiring as well. :) Thanks for all you are doing!

    Thanks! I love seeing which books other artists enjoy. I was pleased to see that you had included Maud Lewis. I’m from Nova Scotia, now in the US, and love to see her honored and loved by other artists. A very special little lady~

    The book about Maud Lewis looks awesome. After a quick search I actually found several books about her, and one of them is about her home which she decorated from top to bottom, I think I'll have to buy that. I love art books that tells about the artist life and also shows their home. I have one book like that about Tasha Tudor which I love.

    • @sandihester
      @sandihester  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I love that about Maud because my grandmother did that too - down to the toilet seat! Yep, flowers painted in the toilet seat 😂

    This is amazing Sandi! But I can't find the list of books?! I'm not great with technology...stupid!! Lol I just can't figure things that everyone else gets!! I used to paint in hyperrealism but now I do abstract and I find it much more freeing. I have a hard time with being motivated though cuz I'm disabled and I can't make art without my Mom's help. She's 82 and she's a beautiful little woman and she sets up everything and I do the art. There are a lot of days when I'm too ill to paint or draw so we'll have to try on a different day. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for my Mom cuz she's saved my life so many times! I love her dearly and I'm so blessed to have her in my life. Thanks Sandi, you're the best! Take care!

    Ahh of course I am already subscribed but will try and remember to hit the like button each time too! I hope you reach your subscriber goal! I have been stuck on the same number for over a year and it has been going down since I started doing studio vlogs! Oops! Haha oh well. I'm trying not to get disheartened though, I actually love making videos but I absolutely know how much hard work goes into them! Hours! Loved looking through your books, I use books to reference all the time. I am obsessed with children's picture books and here in Japan there are sooooo many amazing ones in very interesting styles, not always apparently child-friendly (I mean, the art style, sometimes very abstract, or loose, that childlike style which is actually hard to do, I know of a few artists I bet you would love). I also managed to get hold of an English language book on Grandma Moses who I know nothing about but I enjoy folk art styles so much, so I am looking forward to reading that! Thanks as always for another lovely video!

    Sandi, this was such an enjoyable vlog. Thank you for sharing your top favourite art books. Out of all the books you shared, I was drawn to ‘A Blossom in the Desert’ about the Christian artist Lilias Trotter. I’m intrigue about her story too. I own the DVD about Maud Lewis called ‘Maud’. I have watched it multiple times. I like her work. The book you have on Maud is also an inspiring one. Your husband was very thoughtful buying this for you, and kind hearted giving a copy to the private school library. Look forward to your next vlog 🌻

    My dad use to travel once a month for his job and go by the spot where Maude Lewis stood selling on the side of the road. He’d stop and give her money for a painting but he wouldn’t take the paint because he said ......” it looks like a two year old painted it” but he felt sorry for her. I’m like what!!!!!! thanks dad I could have had lots of original paintings. 😩
