Jonny English however if there are farms nearby and horse paths and I believe there are, then nice tasty manure may be on the menu if Smooth is lucky.

Seemed to be part of the log he was burrowing in. Quit the contrast to poetry and painting. The painting was lovely but I am not there yet to grasp the variation in shapes and texture.

There is something so much more wonderful about your channel than other art channels. I never feel like you are telling me how I should draw or the type of forms and shapes that I should use like so many others. You are just showing how you draw and talking about the wonderful and technical things that swim through your head when you paint and make art. Your channel is such a wonderful breath of air on this platform and I love all of your work!

Smooth is such a beautiful dog! It was almost as much of a treat to watch him play and get up to trouble as it was to watch you paint this scene. Your location reminds me very much of the spaces where I used to camp and hike every summer in Northern Oregon. Beautiful!

Oh, I can SO empathize with that inability to get off the road...even in our local state park, unless you care to park in one of the parking lots and keep to the asphalt path around the lake, you can't get at some of most interesting things to sketch! But you ARE inspiring me to get my gouache out again, thank you James!

Loving your videos, James. There's some mesmerizing quality to them, you masterfully control viewer's attention and watching him/her not to get bored of repetitive actions. Mixing it with footage of your dog for example, or with some interesting facts. And it feels so warm and magical, like an old fantasy movie. Paintings are fantastic and there are a lot of valuable information and methods. Please, keep doing what you do.

🤩👍 *Love it! I think without realizing it, you even painted in the suspicious dark hulky shape that was squatting down and watching you to the right side of those two trees @**6:36**. Shortly into the beginning of the painting section of the video you can hear it mimicking bird calls, (it's the super strong calls that sound like there's 4 different types of birds calling in a row, all from one same location) and your puppy found a piece of it's poo to munch on. (🦍👣Sasquatch.) Very cool!*
