Your style is unique, very creative! I feel inspired to try collage with my painting after watching your vids. Thanks for sharing your art and process...and thoughts!
An absolutely fabulous piece of art work. Your concepts and colours are stunning. I love the heart you place in your paintings. Am glad I found your channel
Hahahaha! 🙌 Yip, absolutely know the feeling. Used to being called eccentric because I'd rather spend time with my self or family instead of socialising! Rock on Introvert!! Love the painting, clever, funky and great art!! I think it's a great representation of you and your psyche💪👌
This is STUNNING Lydia…. You know what is funny….well I think so anyway…. You are an introvert and I totally understand and can see that. When you are filming your vids and looking into the camera, it’s like you are talking to just one person…cos if you could see all 3+ thousand of us you would freak the hell out!🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻 love all that you do!
Beautiful. I love your self portrait and your thoughts that went into it. Because of you I am adding collage to my paintings. I find it makes the painting more interesting and tells a story. Thanks for sharing.
Love your work! Your videos are great! You have been very inspirational to me personally. I have not worked on a piece in almost 2 years and I started one today!
i love the way the collage ties in with everything you explained about your personality. the crossed out antisocial is a great touch. i LOVE the wings, beautiful piece
So very cool! You did such a great job on drawing and painting yourself, but what's most important is YOU are happy with it! From one introvert to another a high five! 🖐
WOW! Great job explaining how we introverts are so not antisocial! Your painting was absolutely fantastic! I had to subscribe and I am off to binge watch your videos!
I love this so much! I can relate to how you feel about socializing and being an artist! What a true self-portrait. Thank you for sharing and being "social" in the way that fits for you!
Just amazing ……… the last thing I would ever think you are is an introvert. 🫣 You are so out there when you’re in front of the camera ……… love your quirkiness and you are too funny.🤪 Love your videos …….. and I’m sure I’m learning from them. 😂 Thankyou for sharing your art and yourself with us. ❤️
Thank you Judith! Being by myself in front of the camera is easier than being in front of a crowd of people in the same room. I can see why it would appear otherwise though.😁
Beyond cool!...but my comments are just getting mushy at this point...because I am out of ways to tell you how uniquely gifted you are...plus now add beautiful...
I absolutely love this! Everything you said about yourself at the beginning of this video sounds exactly like me. We are definitely not antisocial; just quietly quiet in our own way...unless provoked. 😅 Fabulous work!
I love love love this whole concept!! I’m an introvert as well and it’s a struggle, crowds exhaust me. Every piece of your art is amazing & so free. Thanks for sharing 🦋
I love it and your style! I’ve been watching your videos the last week or so and you have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try some abstract and collage so thank you for sharing!!
Thats a wondrful self portrait, being a fellow artist I'm very reclusive, same as you I choose to be, I paint most days... techniques are similar too, I use acrylics for some applications but the end process or the top layer is 99% oil. Love your work and your presentation which makes me smile ❤❤
You are so awesome. You brought many smiles to my face, God gave you a wonderful gift. I like what is perfection because it is a evey ending discussion with ones inner self in deciding if ones painting is going to end.
"Painting me and my wings" - not a phrase I hear every day 😂 I absolutely love this piece - one of my favorites (but, like Nightwish songs, I say that about every one of your works of art). The background and the manhole hole (?) are genius. And I want me some of those wings 🧡💛❤
Wow! I feel like maybe I have sometimes been the “wind beneath those wings”! But only when you were young, and still in your cocoon😀 I think you have done an awesome job in portraying yourself and I love the collage background. So hard to do a self portrait but I think you’ve pulled it off. It’s superb.😀
Love it and your outlook on art--------- im a new subscriber----- dont hold it against me------- youve seriously inspired me to stretch myself in a new direction Thank u for sharing your work ❤
Hi Lydia, I discovered your videos a week ago and I love your personality and your creations. I live in Switzerland and came to Boston as an au pair a few years ago. I would have liked to meet you! I also paint, my father was an artist and I started painting in my turn, I am self-taught. Painting is a need and allows me to escape and put my emotions on a canvas. Thank you for sharing your techniques and your beautiful paintings. You make me laugh too, but in a positive way, and it makes me feel good. 🙏 Virginie
Virginie, what a lovely comment. Thank you so very much! I love how you explain why you paint. Essentially, it's how you communicate your emotions. That is powerful and I can relate totally.❤❤❤
Totally Awesome!! After my talk, I once walked out on a reception at an Art Gallery in my honor. (I should have brought someone who would make me stay.) Felt like a trained monkey - "the attraction."
I'm pacing myself through watching your videos so I don't run out too soon! I very much enjoy your personality (fellow introvert, quirky sense of humor, headache sufferer here) and OMG your artwork! I did a little Bob Rossing back in the day, but never anything like mixed media collage art, and watching you has inspired me to play after many years of not, so thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I love Bob Ross. You know... Sometimes I listen to his videos to go to sleep. May sound weird, but his voice is very soothing. I appreciate your comment so much so, thank you again.❤☺
I recently found your channel, and this video speaks to me. I could have created it myself. My friends often call me the anti social butterfly :) But like you... just selectively social! I love your content, thank you so much for sharing your process. You inspire me!
WoW! Turned out just like your photo! I Love it! You are a very talented Artist and this piece has a lot going on in it and all of the background lettering and collage stuff just makes everything look even more realistic to me. What a gorgeous Piece of Art!
Your style is unique, very creative! I feel inspired to try collage with my painting after watching your vids. Thanks for sharing your art and process...and thoughts!
That's wonderful! Thank you Cynthia!!!
An absolutely fabulous piece of art work. Your concepts and colours are stunning. I love the heart you place in your paintings. Am glad I found your channel

Thank you Catherine! Extroverts just don't get it do they?😁❤
What a trip! I absolutely love watching you create and your comments are hilarious! Talk about you doing you, girl, you’re great!😀
Thank you Patricia!!!
You are a wonderful artist and teacher. Thank you for being unafraid to show us how you create your amazing works. I am so inspired!

Thank you Lara!!! That is SO true! I would hide.😳🤓❤
Beautiful. I love your self portrait and your thoughts that went into it. Because of you I am adding collage to my paintings. I find it makes the painting more interesting and tells a story. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sandy!!! Collage definitely helps create a narrative!!!❤❤❤

Das Bild ist wunderbar und der Hintergrund sieht fantastisch aus, wie eine Mauer mit Graffiti. Die Idee mit den Flügeln ist cool 👍
Thank you Christina!!!
I absolutely love this! Everything you said about yourself at the beginning of this video sounds exactly like me. We are definitely not antisocial; just quietly quiet in our own way...unless provoked. 😅 Fabulous work!
Thanks Elaine!!! Totally agree with "unless provoked"!!!😁
I think you are amazing. Completely understand your views on crowds and putting yourself out there. Keep painting.
Thank you Chris!!!
YOU ARE SO DAMN TALENTED!!!! You nailed it! Down to that subtle perfection of your expression…. I’m in Awe, truly!! 🫶❤🙌 🤩👍
Thanks Stephanie!❤☺

I really like this. I will be binge watching all your videos. So glad I found your channel. Looking forward to seeing what you will paint next.
Thank you Gina!!!❤

Absolutely incredible! As a fellow introvert, I appreciate the clarification and distinction between anti-social and introversion.❤
Stunning!! You are so talented 🥰🎈
