The Opposite View looking back towards your Cottage Front Door could be quite beautiful too, Michael. Maybe as a second painting to increase the funds needed to replace all your Greenhouse Glass. Just a thought.
I think that is a wonderful idea. I love the way the cottage looks. I love all the colors and especially I love the roses. Please do a painting, Michael.
I have just said the same thing, and it would look great from either corner ie showing the easel, as we see it, and also the opposite corner with the chair set in corner. Actually, make it a set of 4, with those 3, and maybe also do the stables when the girls are in residence?
Michael, the front of the cottage is so nice. Consider doing a watercolor showing the front of the cottage, the wall door and some of the greenhouse with some of the new garden. Those three aspects look so quaint together. Just thought that direction might inspire you, as well. Just a thought.
The cottage, greenhouse and wall door would make a beautiful set to grace our walls. Thank you for sharing this painting with us and allowing us to help restore the greenhouse. Love the Dick Strawbridge clip! 😂 Carry on and have a lovely evening!
My thoughts precisely. Just as you say ...a painting of the cottage with the climbing roses so lovely ....the gate & and edge of the garden & greenhouse ...the view shown in the video of Michael painting ...in fact he could paint a painting of HIMSELF painting! (he! he!😊😉)I was married to an English violinist who played for The Royal (Opera/Ballet) Orchestra at Covent Garden in his twenties an aeon ago. He was so charming like Michael & could be his cousin or even older brother. Same stunning blue eyes and similar facial features ...his name was Lance. I used to say I loved Lance-a-lot until I loved Lance-a-little. Michael has kinder eyes though. The man I've been married to for twenty three years (Kindlydude) also has kind beautiful blue eyes, but much paler. This cottage with its beautiful climbing roses seems so English to me!! I would love to know their rose-names. I am so happy Michael is in his element and I can't wait to buy his print of this 'English' garden & greenhouse. He planted the flowers so perfectly with the low ones in front and the foxgloves & taller ones toward the back. The bee climbing inside one of the foxgloves was right out of a Cecily Mary Barker painting & made me giggle oddly. My daughter is a fan of Pre-Raphaelite painters in general, and Cecily Mary Barker and Ida Rentoul Outhwaite in particular, who both painted flower faeries & fairies of every kind. Her fairy art is influenced by them. Evidently Queen Mary liked both artists. She bought a painting by Cecily, one of her religious works of the Christ child and she sent cards to her friends of Ida's fairy paintings. I love Beatrix Potter as well. I love children's art and fairy art from this period ...period! Michael leads such a charmed life ...which is apropos for such a charming fellow. He has created a seemingly 18th-19th century English garden fairyland 🧚🧚♂🧚♀ ...in France! Ha! Ha! 😉 ~Tara
I agree 100% then on top of all that talent I love to listen to him speak. He and Billy are very unique people and I'm so glad I found them on RUclips. Godspeed my friend.
O Michael,I'm just so thrilled to see you demonstrating your artistic talent again. Is there no limit to your eye for detail? You imbue art into everything you do. Thank you for finding your way back to sharing your wonderful self with us.
The best vlog you have made to-date Michael!! I loved the Stephanie jokes and the rabbit and the last giggle at the end. Great sense of humour. Not sure how old this vlog is, but I would have put a fan blowing on the staircase to help dry up after you mopped and left it running for a couple of days. Sad to see what happens with an older building. Billy might need to focus on some work at home, ongoing maintenance for the rest of his life!! But, well done on the watercolour and stunning photography.
Beatrix Potter was a mycologist. Her drawings were used in the University, apparently she was so frustrated with men not listening to her. Her mushroom drawings were so accurate. BP fan ❤️love your drawings
Because he slandered dick strawbridge its the best video how fickle you all are??? You comment on things you do not know about the water is coming in from the window nothing to do with the chandelier???
Greetings from the USA! I really love how Europeans restore and preserve their historical buildings rather then knocking them down only to be replaced by a cheap imitation. The beauty of your garden is only matched by the beauty of your artwork. Sorry about the leak but you handled it with grace…on camera! Loved this video, Michael.
Oh Michael, the colors in your video are so vivid and stunning. The teal you have on your door, window, gate and now the greenhouse and painting is perfect. Watching you work in such amazing surroundings is a treat. (Oh good heavens, that storm and the leaking! Yikes)
Micheal, thank you for inviting us on your greenhouse adventure including your painting process. You are an amazing artist and content provider. Love it all! You’ve sold me! I will definitely buy a print from you. I just love it! All of it!
I have only been watching the 'Doing It Ourselves' videos for around a couple of months - though The Pethericks for just over a year. I think you, Michael, are the nicest young chap I have ever watched on a video, or indeed the TV. You have a lovely temperament, immense creative skills and such lovely high standards in everything you do. And most of all, your personality shines out in the way you demonstrate your love for all things 'Old English' which is refreshing to say the least in this mostly unpleasant modern world. Your videos, the way you create them, with music so aligned with the subject, are a joy to watch and I always look forward to the next one. Thank you for giving so much back for the pleasures you enjoy in your life in France.
Ya know? I’m not a naturally effusive person. Hey, I’m a Texan. In fact, I’ve been described as brutally honest. But…the excitement and delight on your face as you were readying and then painting your garden is simply enchanting.
The thought of “Chateau Music” playing anytime you mention entering the place is hilarious to me. I kinda hope this happens in your real life, even if it’s only in your head.
Michael, the cottage garden and your cottage is actually like a picture! Your videos are just the BEST. So sorry the storm did damage to the chateau. Hope it is not a serious fix.
Wait what? When ? Do you know what happened to our darling friend? I’ve been out of commission for two years and just catching up, so much has changed. I’ve been binge watching old videos but it’s all so vague. Something bad happened a long time ago because he hasn’t even been over to Stephane’s not even for her engagement. 😢💔
Michael, the colors of blue and green behind you (the view through the window) as you first announced the coming rain, was gorgeous. Very saturated, lovely. The music while you painted was beautiful! Really enjoyed thus whole video, but sorry about that leak! The greenhouse is going to be so wonderful, and the surrounding garden is already wonderful!
Gee Michael, seeing you sitting out front of your lovely cottage surrounded by blossoms of such beauty, I look forward to seeing your artwork evolve. Setting is very important for calmness and the joy of letting creativity flow ! Thanks for video !
Michael, loved everything about this video. Watching you sketch/paint, colors, music. Your cottage garden has grown into a place of peace and beauty. Laughed at the gate and strawbridge references. Happy to see you doing what you love and excel at. Maine USA
I miss you Michael. I enjoy seeing you on your brother’s channel. Your channel was the very first subscription I ever clicked on. I would love to see what you have done in your gardeners cottage and greenhouse. A big fan, a grandma from West Point Utah USA
I found watching you paint, (the person videoing you did such a great job ) and the flowers, and the music chosen to go with it all was sooooooooooooo relaxing and calming!! Thank you for this! Im glad we got to see the finished painting in this video! Beautiful job!
Michael I have enjoyed watching you sketch and paint. You invited us in with your welcoming style and tone. Your camera mans work and your editing have told an awesome story. I've seen some of your artwork and find it lovely! Thank you for sharing. I do so enjoy your channel. It is so very different from all the others on RUclips. Best of luck on the repair! Oh my! 🙏👍❤💕😊
@@creativecottage6137 the badly fitted window was the problem not the light fittings Didn’t mind profiting from channel 4 tho I think it’s best all forgotten
Oh no! Hope the stairs aren't damaged by the rain!! Beautiful painting! You are a fantastic artist! Can you show us your bedroom in the cottage, if it's finished?
Aww Michael i was just going to comment what a beautiful relaxing episode watching you sitting in your wonderful space with all your beautiful quality equipment and your amazing talent then along comes a storm and spoils the atmosphere but actually storms have their own beauty and i loved it all xxxx
A coffee table book of your paintings of the cottage (interior and exterior), courtyard, cottage garden, garden path and greenhouse would walk off the shelves 🧡 You are such a talent, Michael 🧡💙❤️🩷💛 Loved your reference to Stephanie and LaLande 😂
I just ordered my print probably one of at least eight and I love all of them! This one was especially precious because we saw you creating it in real-time basically a little bit of France in Florida! Can't wait to receive it they are always so beautifully packaged with lovely little notes in them. Thank you Michael for taking the time to immortalize the greenhouse in such a lovely print it was my pleasure to be able to contribute to the greenhouse rebuilding / conservation.. Keep on doing what you're doing it's amazing. Jane
I am a big Beatrix Potter fan. Have all her books and just watched a biography about her this morning. Then your vlog popped up 😁 The garden looks beautiful and your painting does too. I agree with doing one from the other end to include the cottage. You are truly blessed with talent in so many ways.
That greenhouse is quite a project. It’s going to be so good when it’s done & you can see it everyday looking so fresh!! The painting is beautiful, I like how you left a greenhouse window pane open. You need a full gallery of all your paintings available for purchase online!
@@denisemastromina7821 I did click on the one in this video but it only had two paintings-a beautiful crane & the greenhouse. That’s why I wrote the comment!!
@@kit2130 yes I saw that if you click on the lines at the top it brings all the prints. I'm going to get the bee and the ladybird I think they are charming 👋👋👋👋👋
Thank You! Beautiful Video, Wonderful scenery, Amazing painting, Laughter, Drama, all presented by an incredible artist and person. Michael we are so fortunate to have you back creating, I'm overwhelmed. Spielberg, move over. You have to keep the Gate - Love it!
Michael at 83 I find myself really looking forward to and enjoying your videos here in Australia. You are a very talented young man and your presentations are amazing. Keep it up. Looking forward to the finished watercolour.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I have been away from your videos for a loooooooong time (life gets complicated) and i forgot how much joy they bring me. Its cold and dark here in Minnesota in January. The gorgeous bright colors of the flowers put a smile on my face. Im sorry to see they have stopped recently. I hope everything is fine with you. Please post again soon.
Your flowers are just beautiful! My mother was an artist, but advanced dementia has ended her painting days. Water leaks are the worst! Lovely painting.
I heard it explained dementia memories are clearest from life in their 30s, as these memories seem to be the last to leave them. Wouldn't it be lovely if you could watch the first half of this episode with your Mum, and if possible buy a print for her bedroom. They respond to art, actually all of the Arts, I wish you incredibly well Tambra. And to Michael, I noted the small dig regarding Channel 4's latest news - perhaps a call to Duncan the electrician would be wise.
How lovely and wonderful to hear all of your tidbits of info and help, Michael. Your cottage and gardens are just gorgeous! What a gift you’ve given us by starting this channel. And in turn, a gift for your brother to do the same, with what you established. I thank you for sharing me. Love to you from Southeast USA. 🌿❤🌿
such nice content . would have liked to have seen more of you painting this project . good to see you giving us more of yourself and life .thanks buddy !
Would love to see a drawing of the greenhouse from opposite angle you are drawing now…one that includes your cottage as well. The garden is absolutely beautiful and I love the door on the cottage!
I’m all too familiar with water issues. Our central tower still leaks in the mansion here at Heidelberg Hall and we discovered that while the tower room was dry, water was running through the walls into the crawl space attic and into two floors with 4 rooms now that have water damage to the plaster. It seems never ending.. At least we know the source of the leak but like most repairs on these massive old buildings, it’s not a cheap fix. We do public tours to help generate funds for repairs in addition. Happy to see you’re still going strong and look forward to more of your projects on the cordage. Always an inspiration 😊
It looks like you found your footing again and got your spark back. Can't be easy living with SM scrutiny and people judging you. I hope you find your true passion. I assume you are a bit like me. I have lots of talents but get bored easily and then crave to do something else. Once I tried it and mastered it to a degree and got all the tools, I move on to the next thing. It's a blessing and curse.
This has been such a beautifully filmed and edited video! The lush colors snd romantic scenes of the gardens and lawns are crush-worthy. And the sight of you painting in the garden is pure Beatrix Potter. Well done to all who produced this bouchée délicieuse. ❤ from Florida
I love watching you and your vlogs. Haven’t seen one for a while and hope all is well with you. Please continue showing us your many talents. You are greatly loved, as well as your whole family and friends. I hope you are back soon!!
Your videos are amazing Michael, you bring a real sense of calm and beauty. The cottage and garden looks so idyllic. The painting is beautiful, you are so talented. Hope to see lots more videos.
Michael, you amaze me❤ you are so talented!!!!!! You are such an inspiration to me. You're beautiful garden and gardener's cottage are so peaceful!!!! You make me want to be more creative.❤❤❤❤
Beautiful print Michael! I HAD to purchase one, because the colors go perfectly with the interior of my home. You are so talented, and can do anything you put your mind to. I am glad I discovered your and your brother’s channels this year.
Beautiful painting. Would love to see another looking from the other end of the greenhouse so you could see the garden and cottage with its beautiful roses. Although I know it takes time to make such stunning works of art❤. PS love the little dig at the end of that video Michael. What goes around comes around came to my mind recently. 😍
I’m just loving how everything is coming together around your cottage; very Beatrix‼️‼️‼️‼️. When the green house is finally completed the courtyard will be heavenly. You may never want to leave it. I love your videos; so fun and original and imaginative 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your videos and well done on the high definition...makes your videos exceptionally clear yet magical. You are so talented Michael and your vision of the world is enchanting.
When are you going to post more videos? We haven’t seen the finished room or greenhouse nor the next door room that was to be an office with guest toilet!🥹 You inspired me to repair my old french doors, instead of getting new ones that I cannot really afford.
I absolutely love your painting! You are a talented man Michael. Thank you so much for sharing in the process of creating. My daughter is also an artist and I am amazed watching talented people create and express.
Oh my, the sky at 19:51, pure magic with the lightening. Michael my dear, I am so taken with the beauty of your work. It’s so magical and whimsical. I could watch you paint for hours. I’m loving the finished creation. Thank you Michael, for coming back into my world 😊🇨🇦 what a storm!
This has inspired me to take up painting again. I discovered Beatrix Potter at the age of eighteen years and instantly fell in love with her stories. Two loves in one video. You're spoiling us.
The Opposite View looking back towards your Cottage Front Door could be quite beautiful too, Michael. Maybe as a second painting to increase the funds needed to replace all your Greenhouse Glass.
Just a thought.
I think that is a wonderful idea. I love the way the cottage looks. I love all the colors and especially I love the roses. Please do a painting, Michael.

Agreed!
A series of 4 different views of the greenhouse including one has the front of the cottage and greenhouse would be a true collector's item.
Yes,please! Brilliant idea 💡 👏
Michael, the front of the cottage is so nice. Consider doing a watercolor showing the front of the cottage, the wall door and some of the greenhouse with some of the new garden. Those three aspects look so quaint together. Just thought that direction might inspire you, as well. Just a thought.
Exactly what I thought. I also thought it would have been nice to do a painting with the rusty greenhouse colour against the walls and flowers
@@nadeansimmons226 For the rusty picture; what angle are you thinking?
Agreed! Every time the camera shows the front of the cottage, I think how quaint and lovely it looks with the flowers and foliage.
The cottage, greenhouse and wall door would make a beautiful set to grace our walls. Thank you for sharing this painting with us and allowing us to help restore the greenhouse.
Love the Dick Strawbridge clip! 😂
Carry on and have a lovely evening!

Fabulous painting👌😍
stupid content for kids
And cooking too
I was happy to see you on Billy's channel doing your roof and looking great. Hope you are doing well.
Michael, please paint the cottage. Every time you show the outside of the cottage and how tall it is I envy you. It’s so beautiful.
O Michael,I'm just so thrilled to see you demonstrating your artistic talent again. Is there no limit to your eye for detail? You imbue art into everything you do. Thank you for finding your way back to sharing your wonderful self with us.
Michael what a lovely print. I love that you are restoring the greenhouse. Your channel brings me so much joy.
OMG that Dick Strawbridge joke was HiLaRIoUs!! Nicely done, Michael!
Yes it made me laugh out loud
And me brilliant
It made us laugh so hard!!!
a real side splitter!!
Yes Karma😂😂😂😂
Michael you are so talented. I love watching you draw, paint and play the piano. More of the same please. X
The best vlog you have made to-date Michael!! I loved the Stephanie jokes and the rabbit and the last giggle at the end. Great sense of humour.

When I’ve had a leak used a dehumidifier it works brilliantly to dry everything out.
Your garden turned out fantastic! Bravo Michael!
Beatrix Potter was a mycologist. Her drawings were used in the University, apparently she was so frustrated with men not listening to her. Her mushroom drawings were so accurate. BP fan ❤️love your drawings
Didn't know that, learned something, thanks.
Michael - really appreciate all the gorgeous footage of the flowers and the sweep of the garden. So lovely and calming!
It must be great to paint like she did. See the world like she did. See the beauty that she saw. She was a great person in so many ways. ❤❤❤❤❤
Other than the leak disaster, ( loved that you gave Stawbridge the due credit for it) this is your most brilliant video yet!
That was priceless..!!
Because he slandered dick strawbridge its the best video how fickle you all are??? You comment on things you do not know about the water is coming in from the window nothing to do with the chandelier???
It was UNNECESSARY the credit to Strawbridge and not verry brilliant! Sorry Michael😓 love your work🤗 Mona from Israel
That comment was hilarious. 😂😂😂
I love her painting and you are so gifted to not just reproduce it on paper, but have a real one as well
Loved the cheeky reference to D Strawbridge! This was a great vlog - your beautiful garden and painting, a storm and a major chateau leak. Thank you ❤
Michael, what an honor to witness this bit of your creative process -it seems to emanate from you in waves of joy and purpose.
Greetings from the USA! I really love how Europeans restore and preserve their historical buildings rather then knocking them down only to be replaced by a cheap imitation.

Beatrix Potter would be proud. Such a good idea to paint the greenhouse, as a way to enable you to restore it.
LOL Love the Strawbridge scene. haha.

Aww Michael i was just going to comment what a beautiful relaxing episode watching you sitting in your wonderful space with all your beautiful quality equipment and your amazing talent then along comes a storm and spoils the atmosphere but actually storms have their own beauty and i loved it all xxxx

And in turn, a gift for your brother to do the same, with what you established. I thank you for sharing me. Love to you from Southeast USA. 🌿❤🌿
such nice content . would have liked to have seen more of you painting this project . good to see you giving us more of yourself and life .thanks buddy !
Would love to see a drawing of the greenhouse from opposite angle you are drawing now…one that includes your cottage as well. The garden is absolutely beautiful and I love the door on the cottage!
I’m all too familiar with water issues. Our central tower still leaks in the mansion here at Heidelberg Hall and we discovered that while the tower room was dry, water was running through the walls into the crawl space attic and into two floors with 4 rooms now that have water damage to the plaster. It seems never ending.. At least we know the source of the leak but like most repairs on these massive old buildings, it’s not a cheap fix. We do public tours to help generate funds for repairs in addition. Happy to see you’re still going strong and look forward to more of your projects on the cordage. Always an inspiration 😊
You, Michael, and Sadie all have the most beautiful eyes! Love the playful edits❤
It looks like you found your footing again and got your spark back. Can't be easy living with SM scrutiny and people judging you. I hope you find your true passion. I assume you are a bit like me. I have lots of talents but get bored easily and then crave to do something else. Once I tried it and mastered it to a degree and got all the tools, I move on to the next thing. It's a blessing and curse.
And there he is! The Michael that is a great explainer/instructor and being himself. I just love the real you!!❤
This has been such a beautifully filmed and edited video! The lush colors snd romantic scenes of the gardens and lawns are crush-worthy. And the sight of you painting in the garden is pure Beatrix Potter. Well done to all who produced this bouchée délicieuse. ❤ from Florida
I love watching you and your vlogs. Haven’t seen one for a while and hope all is well with you. Please continue showing us your many talents. You are greatly loved, as well as your whole family and friends. I hope you are back soon!!
I just purchased the Greenhouse print as a birthday gift to myself. I will be 59 on June 27th
Thank you Michael. You had me chuckling with the reference to the installation of the chandelier. Nice one! Great camera work too. ☺
Me too!1
Your videos are amazing Michael, you bring a real sense of calm and beauty. The cottage and garden looks so idyllic. The painting is beautiful, you are so talented. Hope to see lots more videos.
The blue in the haze in the beautiful and green landscape
Does not compare to the beautiful blue 💙 gaze of Michael!!!!!
The flowers are glorious! You did a fantastic job of capturing their beauty! I loved the added rabbit and the gate song always gets me 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The cottage garden and surroundings are looking lovely and make for inspiration.
Michael, you amaze me❤ you are so talented!!!!!! You are such an inspiration to me. You're beautiful garden and gardener's cottage are so peaceful!!!! You make me want to be more creative.❤❤❤❤
Beautiful print Michael! I HAD to purchase one, because the colors go perfectly with the interior of my home. You are so talented, and can do anything you put your mind to. I am glad I discovered your and your brother’s channels this year.
Beautiful painting. Would love to see another looking from the other end of the greenhouse so you could see the garden and cottage with its beautiful roses. Although I know it takes time to make such stunning works of art❤. PS love the little dig at the end of that video Michael. What goes around comes around came to my mind recently. 😍
I think that angle would be great too. Your cottage is dreamy ...
Yes I quoted the same thing, I'm so pleased Micheal has come through that awfull time and is back painting again.
I’m just loving how everything is coming together around your cottage; very Beatrix‼️‼️‼️‼️. When the green house is finally completed the courtyard will be heavenly. You may never want to leave it. I love your videos; so fun and original and imaginative 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The garden looks and sounds (with the bird song ) so peaceful ❤
I love the La Lalande door! and I love the greenhouse and the painting, so pretty!
The garden is beautiful!!!❤
You are back, it is so wonderful to see the old you. Keep up the good work. 😊
Love your videos and well done on the high definition...makes your videos exceptionally clear yet magical. You are so talented Michael and your vision of the world is enchanting.
The umbrella on the easel was a brilliant idea!
When are you going to post more videos?
We haven’t seen the finished room or greenhouse nor the next door room that was to be an office with guest toilet!🥹
You inspired me to repair my old french doors, instead of getting new ones that I cannot really afford.
I absolutely love your painting! You are a talented man Michael. Thank you so much for sharing in the process of creating. My daughter is also an artist and I am amazed watching talented people create and express.
Great idea of green house painting! You are so creative!!!!
Oh my, the sky at 19:51, pure magic with the lightening. Michael my dear, I am so taken with the beauty of your work. It’s so magical and whimsical. I could watch you paint for hours. I’m loving the finished creation. Thank you Michael, for coming back into my world 😊🇨🇦 what a storm!
So nice to see you sitting outside your cottage with your beautiful garden! Your visions have come to life! So happy for you!
You certainly have a little piece of heaven right there Michael. It’s so pretty! Your artwork is amazing!
I like how you explained all your tools and brushes and why you love them. Such an interesting video and your editing and music is wonderful too.
Michael, you make beautiful videos. Restful, informative, and artistic Love them!!!
This has inspired me to take up painting again. I discovered Beatrix Potter at the age of eighteen years and instantly fell in love with her stories. Two loves in one video. You're spoiling us.
