Welcome to An Artist's Life: A vlog about my life as an artist on the sea in New England.

Here I love to share my cozy quiet days on the sea, gardening, making art or simply having a stroll on our beach or in our wood.

I love sharing my thrift and antique trips to the local haunts here ON Cape Cod and closer towns and villages here in New England.

I also own a 300 year old Antique Cape Cod cottage and love to share vlogs and projects with you from there, so why not stop by?

I love to make art and design fabrics and wallpapers, often inspired by our sea view or rugged garden.


POSTING SCHEDULE: I Post Once a WEEK on Sundays to a Premier usually at 1:00 pm afternoon Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Please come join me here at my home, Bunny Hall and we'll share the simple joys and quiet living of an Artist living by the Sea.

I'm SO sorry this is the second Sunday with no videos. I've been very busy and haven't had time to film. I do not want to repeat last Summer and just disappear, so I'll at least send out a post, which I hope most of you will see. I'm hoping to get some sort of video out soon. The Summer is always the busiest for me and the hardest to find filming time, but this year is about learning to make new routines.

If you stuck around and did check to see if I posted, thank you. I hope you are having a lovely Summer.

Today's video is again a #short Trying to keep up with all of you during this busy time and #shorts seem to be a fun way. Then I'll do a normal length video for Sunday. Today is from my friend's black and gold champagne tea party, enjoy! www.youtube.com/shorts/OlkalJ...

It's a #short video for today. I'm going to a friends Birthday party and I wanted to try shorts this week with one normal/longer video on Sunday. I'm trying to find the perfect recipe of videos to share each week.

I hope all of you have a lovely day and get to enjoy some aspect of your village, town or city. Until tomorrow, Stay Creative, cheers!

Good Day All, today's Video(s) is a #short but also a longer version wide format of the same short. I'm never sure how shorts show up but I've been considering making them a part of my online life. I've been having fun coming back online and living a bit each day here, so it seems shorts might be a fun way to do it. IT feels a bit like a Post card Vlog.

SO, today I've uploaded two of the similar video, one short format (vertical) and one normal (larger horizontal) not sure which makes more sense. I hope you enjoy them for what they are.

You might also see a sneak peek of one of my new character illustrations Finally inspired by our dear Algernon Seagull. More about him in another vlog.

I hope you enjoy your day and find a moment to be creative, cheers!

I'm afraid no video today Saturday 2 March. Again, as last Saturday, it seems my computer likes to not cooperate on a Saturday. I will have my usual video out tomorrow, Sunday, however and I hope all of you have a wonderful day. It's getting to be plant shopping time I think. I can't believe it's already March. I'm going to try and make a 'short' saying 'no video' which I suppose is a bit META but I'd like to try some shorts, so why not today? HERE is the SHORT: www.youtube.com/shorts/vH83O8...

Sorry there is no video today, 24 Feb Saturday 2024, but I had some technical computer issues this morning. I then thought I'd lost the footage I just took going to a local thrift/charity/antique shop, but I've found it, thank goodness. Thus NO video today, but there will be one tomorrow, 25 feb Sunday.

I've been trying to stick with my 5 day a week upload of my short "post card vlogs". My Wednesday-Sunday Schedule has been good thus far, but I wanted all of you to know why NOT one today. Hint, tho, in the photo, is tomorrow will be a part one of the trip to the thrift shop.

I hope you get a moment to enjoy your day and get out and have a good ramble or a fun day at an antique or local shop; until tomorrow, cheers!

Good day all, here it is the second day of the New Year and I just wanted to say Thank You to all of you lovely people. It felt so wondrous to get all your kind comments on my little first video of the year. As I mentioned only briefly half way through last year, we were rather taken aback by my Mother in Law's illness and it was a trying 2023. We were so Blessed to have her in her own home to celebrate the Christmas season with all of us.

I'm just posting this today to say thank you all again and here is to a happy 2023.

The photo was taken on the road to my MIL house, (this is not hers just a lovely little cottage which looked so picture postcard in the new snow). It was a snowy magical Christmas day and one we so looked forward to and were so blessed to have.

The Happiest of New Year's to all of you and happy to be back in my small quiet way for 2023.

Hello all, I'm so sorry to be absent so long. With my Mother in Law's illness and various things we've been very preoccupied and focusing inwards. Tho she was on the mend she relapsed and was back in hospital and things became rather involved so I've not been online too much. We've been focusing on living each moment. I hope all are well and everyone is enjoying their gardens and life in general. I'm not sure when I'll return with a video but do know you are all in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry but no video again this Sunday. My Mother in Law is still in hospital and we're exhausted as we've been going daily to sit with her. It's been a tiring and trying week, but I hope all of you are having a lovely week. The herons are back and the chicks are growing and I wanted to show both of those things, but just no energy to film and edit, I do hope you understand. Have a lovely Sunday all.

I'm So sorry, but I will not have a video up today per usual. I have had SUCH a busy week with so many projects and to-doing that I just did not have time to edit a video. Perhaps you will enjoy my latest Blog Post with this drawing and a little story that accompanies it. I often make up little scenarios of my creatures when I'm drawing them, I hope you enjoy.
