Welcome to my RU-vid Channel, thanks so much for visiting!
Hi! I’m Adrienne! Married to Dan in 2010, we did some world traveling on behalf of the Army from South Korea to Germany, and chose to come back to our lovely state of Oregon in 2015. In 2016 we purchased 20 acres in the high desert of Central Oregon and did some homesteading.
After 5 years of hard work, tears, and broken hearts, we did something crazy... sold our property and moved to St. Croix in the Caribbean in December 2021.
I have always been a creative person and I am now striving to bring art back into my world, making it a priority. I will be sharing my art, and also our life adventures here in the Caribbean.
I hope you enjoy experiencing our new life adventure with me!
Is that harness comfortable? I’m the cat was walking around with it but my cat he’s really muscular and big and I don’t know. He definitely couldn’t wear a harness, but thanks for showing that option.
@@Timetraveler1111MN Benjamin didn’t seem to have a huge issue with it. We practiced a lot. And he wore it pretty often while we were traveling. He slept fine in it and everything. ❤️ I think it took a little time to get used to it, but overall, I think he was fine. :) we were moving across the country, so I was trying to make sure he had some sort of harness I could attach a leash to.
I miss that sound. Every summer morning, I could hear that call echoing through Rock Creek Park. They all permanently went east, and settled on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay.
Thanks so much for this!! We are on a budget and need to go cheap for this. I loved your video. Thank you for being real and yourself ❤ You made me laugh while learning something!
@@rocket7950 awe I’m so glad you feel that way! Thanks for letting me know! And you are so welcome! I am so glad my video still is helping folks out! ❤️

Airtag is great product, but on my cat it works imperfect: when cat goes under the car, the signal on Find My freezes, and I periodically loose my cat…
Yeah, it’s meant to really help keep track of whether he escapes or not. My cat is not an outdoor cat. It was intended to help us while we traveled across the US to our new home then.
You are a true inspiration so authentic hard to find these day i wish you did more videos im a artist myself and me and my husband love watching your videos i found your channel yesterday and instantly fell in love with the genuineness of it all and i also pray whatever is rising up against you whatever hardships may it be cut down at the root in Jesus might name Amen
Question for you! I’m a bird photographer in North Carolina. I found an area where I hear the bobwhite. I would love to get a photo. Can you tell me which call might bring the male to an area closer to me to sing or call from a branch or stump? These birds are so hard to get!! I have been trying for months! Thanks ❤
@@Totally_Tiffanie Amazon! Check out this list Coloring Supplies from adriennesmith.artist www.amazon.com/shop/adriennesmith.artist/list/OXKRNR91F3CI?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsflist_aipsfadriennesmith.artist_11GSDFGB8812CA22HF4T&language=en_US
Lots of FB groups and such that could probably help with that, I don’t really have an answer except to keep practicing and experimenting! You’ll get there! It takes practice. ❤️
This is pretty. Just one thing. Is the gouache in the little jars from that tmol set you reviewed? If it is, how hard was it to transfer it from the little jelly cups into those jars? That looks like a great way to keep it from getting dry.
Yeah it’s from the same set. Easy to transfer with a little scoops spatula thingie! :) still gets dry if not used for a while. Possibly could be mitigated by adding some Vaseline to the jar threads to make it more air tight! :)
Hi! I'm a year late! Found you when I was searching for a coloralong for a frog for my Mr. Fogarty books!! How perfect that your video came up! I enjoyed it immensely, as I started coloring only last August and have a lot to learn. (I am busy taking a beginners course with Renes Coloring Corner, and she suggested we take a look at other coloring videos along the way.) Thanks for am excellent lesson and a fun chat! Lynn in NYC❤.
@@adriennesmith.artist Oh, horrors! I just had a disaster when I colored Mr. Fogarty, looking blissful, as he played his Cello in a Quartet!! I had to do that page, because it made me laugh out loud! But--as I layered colors---in all areas of the page---they actually 'faded'--in fact, white spots appeared! I know I pressed down too hard in some areas and ruined the tooth of the paper. I tried adding light colors to all the darkened areas---but there was no 'tooth' left. The entire center, with the Quartet, became much too dark.ccI did not have this problem with 'Round the World with Mr. Fogarty'--and am wondering if the paper could be different? I bought "A Frog's Tale' last August and ' Round the World' two months ago. I'm concluding that I just pressed down way too hard. But I wondered if you noticed any 'fading' in your Mr. Fogarty coloring book? Watched your video again--and admire so much, all the care you take in choosing--and using--your colored pencils!! Hello from NYC! Lynn
Oh man, no I never noticed anything like that before! What pencils were you using? I know that some pencils have issues with wax bloom, and in those instances, you can wipe it off lightly with a paper towel. But it may come back.
i just found your channel , love your vidoes color along, i tried to join to get free coloring pages that you drew and it said that the site was not there, hope you are still doing videos,
Hey there! I did recently decide to shut that site down, check me out at AdrienneSmith.art to sign up for freebies! So sorry about that! I haven’t really been doing videos lately. Kind of on a different path than coloring, but still putting out coloring pages monthly! ❤️❤️
Oh yeah! It totally does, just like “find my” a the app on iPhone, that’s what you use for the Apple air tag. And the batteries lasted for almost 2 years I think! And easy to change! :) no sub required. :) just an Apple feature.
Fellow central Oregonian here. No judgement. People don't understand how difficult it is here until they live here. 50 degree temperature swings are no joke on plants and livestock.
I moved away two years ago and haven’t gardened since. I hope to get into it again in the future but at the moment, no garden space. I certainly miss a lot about central Oregon tho!!
Do you have any updates/insight on using d'uccles for raising quail? Are you still doing it? Im raising 3 d'uccle chicks right now and want to have them brood jumbo cotournix later.
I did it three times. The first time worked out the best. I should have identified who was the momma each time. Some moms are bad, some are great. So it really is gonna just depend on your ladies. :) I’d say give it a go. :) it was a really fun experiment. Everyone will tell you not to. But ultimately, it’s up to you! I would do it again. I actually no longer have the farm, so I haven’t done it since laying season 2021. But I would totally use it again.
Cats bite, and a cat bite is way worse. I should know. My cat sent me to urgent care this year. lol But also, yes, they can. All female bees can. But honey bees really prefer not to, because they die when they sting as the stinger sticks and when they go away, it’s ripped from their abdomen.
So, are these pencils any good? Someone else commented they’re exactly the same as the Brutfuner and the Soucolor, do you know if that’s true? I don’t wanna get some thing that’s just rebranded for more money.
I think the Kalours are great. I do not know if they are the same as the Soucolors but I did get a 180 set of Bruts and I do not like the Bruts, so I don’t feel they are the same. I recommend the Kalours to coloring book folks all the time. :) I hear the macaroon sets are exactly the same tho, that is possible.
🫤 Since Amazon is being a jerk, can you give the name of this harness and tag holder? The link just goes to the homepage because Jeff Bezos is kinda garbage.
