Battling with that swim suit and swim hat... 😂Hilarious! hehe! Underwater footage is beautiful, your so lucky to live near the lakes. Another wonderful video, thanks! x
@@daisyodell2770 the location is amazing! And once the house is done and the weather is better - it will make all the difference to my life. I want to film more underwater stuff ♥️
Oh. My. Word. You are one brave woman. No way would I ever attempt to cram my torso into a wet suit...much less give the world a live showing of the event! Having said that, thank you for the first giggles and guffaws of the day. Can't seem to get the words baby powder and lube out of my head! Again, thanks to you. 😁😁😁 You live in such a lush, green and gorgeous place, and the view is incredible. But being that close to the beach and that majestic view will be heaven! Happy day, happy, happy move, happy life. 🧡🧡🧡
🤣🤣🤣 On reflection that. might be TMI but I am all about transparency on this channel Winda! So baby powder and lube solutions it is 🤣🤣🤣 I am so excited to show you all the new place I can't handle it! ❤️❤️❤️
Another great video with lots of laughs, art and the swimming preparation! 😅 The underwater photography was fantastic. I particularly liked it when you were near the surface and you could see the reflection of the rocks in the water above you. You should try painting them. Or I might if that's ok with you at 34:25. I hope you are both feeling better. ❤
Absolutely draw it Liz! I am tried to over on Patreon for this Sunday but I ended up with something completely different 🤣🤣 I might try again with ink! ❤️
Yes yes yes a swim in the lake/river/sea is sooo life affirming. Loved the struggle into the wetsuit 😂 I saw a thing where they put small bags on their foot to push through the wetsuit but that doesn't solve the whole game of wriggling your body into it 🐟
It is one of my favourite places of all time ❤️ the struggle in the wet suit was totally worth it. Th bag for hack does solve the foot problem but as you say the rest of the body gets more difficult as we go higher 🤣🤣
Lol, I've never seen someone put a wetsuit on before, that was brilliant. What a workout! Looove the GoPro stuff underwater, and you found treasure! So beautiful 🥰
Watching you get into your wet suit...🤣🤣🤣 I'm 57...that's me getting into my normal clothes on a daily basis!!!... Incredible underwater footage 😄 and thank you for the ink and coloured pencil demo at the beginning. And the ArtGraf at the end. It's fascinating to watch you picking out the colours...I'm getting a bit braver with mixed media now having followed you for a while 🤗have you done artworks from your diving images? I would suit your style. And Seascale beach 🏖️👍👍
🤣🤣🤣 well half my wardrobe is catered to a much smaller version of me so I know the daily struggle Hannah 🤣🤣🤣 Over on Patreon this Sunday I take inspo from the water footage. I am delighted with results but I feel I can push it more on reflection ❤️
Hi Elise, thanks for the wonderful video! I'm tickled you sold the two trees painting. Now my copy is that much more valuable to me, AND, someone else has the same good taste as me LOL. Bless you for sharing your Battle of the Wet Suit. Reminds me of the bad old days when women (regardless of size) were expected to wear "panty girdles". Thank gawd those days are far behind me! I love water like you do. Other people like being on boats & kayaks in the summer; I'd rather be in the water than on it!. Best of luck with (the horrendous) moving. Your new place looks heavenly. Big hugs.
I do love retiring a print. Certainly knowing other people will have the remaining few. ♥️”panty girdles” absolutely not a chance I would have survived any of that! Not with my sassy attitude 🤣😅 it amazes me how many people don’t like the water like that! I would live in the water if I could ♥️ 🤣🥳🥳
Oh, Elise!! My heart is just so full. That footage from the water was sooooo stunning...and soothing...I can appreciate how it takes you out of things. *sigh* And your new place...the beach!! Ye gods!! I'm just so incredibly happy for you -- you deserve all of the best of everything. I know leaving your current place is bittersweet, but you have the art, the memories...so much to carry with you. And now I'm getting all emotional so I'll stop nattering...I'm looking forward to the video about your process....big love to you!!! xoxox
Thank you Magpie ❤️ You are so right "bittersweet", I am excited to move of course but I know I will miss this house. I can't quite believe I am moving to be honest. It will be worth I know ❤️ The water does help for sure! Its so peaceful down there - all the voices in my head mutes for the time I am floating about 🤣🤪 Big hugs back Magpie and thank you ❤️
I just subscribed, having just "found" you! I'm an artist living in Caithness, way up north. Loving your work, and your sense of humour......your eyelashes getting stuck in your swim hat absolutely man my day 😂❤❤
WOW this is way up north indeed - I bet you have some amazing views? Thank you so much for subscribing wickchick ❤️ I am surprised I didn't take my eyelashes off tbh 🤣🤣
My dog has a thing for stink bugs. She is absolutely TERRIFIED of them for some reason, but at the same time loves to freak herself out with them (they are quite frequent visitors of the inside of our house). She'll bat at one then do that thing where they slowly turn their head side to side all weird when theyre completely freaked out by something and run away from it. Then she'll come back and slowly walk up to it all terrified and bat at it again and freak herself out and run away. And repeat. All other bugs she just eats.
🤣🤣🤣 that’s hilarious 😆 I absolutely love dogs. There little personalities are just wonderful! Mike make me laugh all the time with the silly stuff they do 🤣
Thank you so much Marie Louise ❤️ I am eating ginger by the fist full to try and remain healthy for the move! Be just my luck to get stuck down during the move 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant xxx watching you crowbar yourself into that wetsuit has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time 😂😅😂😅😂❤❤ and good effort getting it over that ass even if it did take you z couple of goes lol😅😂😅 it was like putting a marquee tent over its metal structure ❤❤ But... the footage at the loke was well worth it gorgeous scenery, views above and below the water, amazing xxxx
That is exactly how it was! Completely frustrating 🤣🤣🤣 I will be doing a lot more of underwater filming that for sure as I love every minuet of it ❤️❤️
Oh Ellie! Your swimming footage is so beautiful! I swear I felt myself slow down and relax watching, thank you for sharing that. And I wanna know what kind of treasures you found! I hope it was all worth the incredible hassle of donning a wetsuit, I would've just gone without it after the first leg tug, but that's me, haha!
You are so right Debs - it was an absolute faff but it was so worth it 🤣🤣🤣 I found a swimming cap and 2p. Not the biggest treasure hunt but I loved every minuet. I will be doing a still life workshop with all the treasures I have found at some point ❤️❤️❤️
OK, I feel a bit psycho for leaving a third comment, but, hey, algorithm and engagement and all that, right! the ocean is my absolute favorite place in the world so your swimming vids are some of my faves. I loved the downed tree shot of what it looked like out of the water and what it looked like taken over by the water life underneath! If I had the choice of breathing under water or flying I would choose breathing under water. There's nothing in the sky! And we already have airplanes. Yes we have scuba gear too, but they only last for so long under water and they're clunky and in the way.
I agree entirely - I would choose to breath under water in a heart beat! I would never choose flying as I am terrified of heights! And thank you for all your wonderful comments - I love reading and responding to them and yes, it helps the algorithm thing ❤️❤️❤️
"There's something about it..." I know what you mean. It's like a terrible accident with lots of gore that you pass on the highway. Can't look away, but it certainly isn't what you set out to do that day. And I feel the need to say that was just the first analogy I thought of, because I'm not well adjusted, and not that I really think that about your art.
I emailed you 💔 idk how i dropped the ball. Let me reschedule ❤ I'm sorry for the inconvenience today my past 2 days have been a lot of unexpected projects and I forgot what day it was.

'Battling' is the best word for what I experiences Zoe 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it this week ❤️ Thank you for watching ❤️
That was a wonderful vlog ❤ the swim was great ☺️and putting on the wet suit , so funny 😂🤣thanks again , loved it 🤗x
It was a total mission Lesley 🤣🤣🤣 memory making at its best! ❤️
I got really confused for a minute when "Thank you, Marianne " popped up on the screen. Clearly we all have good taste in art lol
Awww ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you enjoyed the bagging and tagging of you art work ❤️
So excited for you and the new location! The beach you are a walk from is gorgeous. And the underwater video was so magical. Such gorgeous colors. 😍

Hello! Hope your well!
Hello Cat - I am well lovely. How are you doing?
"There's something about it..." I know what you mean. It's like a terrible accident with lots of gore that you pass on the highway. Can't look away, but it certainly isn't what you set out to do that day. And I feel the need to say that was just the first analogy I thought of, because I'm not well adjusted, and not that I really think that about your art.
I completely understand your analogy Amy! I am not offended at all - my work has been called a lot worse than a car crash 🤣🤣🤣♥️
I emailed you 💔 idk how i dropped the ball. Let me reschedule ❤ I'm sorry for the inconvenience today my past 2 days have been a lot of unexpected projects and I forgot what day it was.
Hello - I have just received your email. I went out and didn't look at my phone ❤️ I will email you back to reschedule ❤️
