He does capture her.

From the moment I saw your father's medieval art, I've been wishing I could get prints of them. As someone who has studied medieval art and recognizes the pieces he took inspiration from, I love his modern approach to them! He really made them his own while paying homages to them. Plus, the shapes and colors are such fun!

Your Father was a very skilled Artist. and you have inbuilt taste

Stephanie talking about her father -- tears. What a wonderful painter he was, too.

My favourite of Stephane’s paintings is her fathers medieval art on her right. So beautiful and full of colour.

What a fabulous video and a wonderful introduction to the art and artists at Lalande. I think there is no doubt that you have inherited your father's creativity - it is obvious in all that you do. Thank you for sharing.

Girl, I've seen your curtains. Believe me when I say that they look like Art to me! Love, love, love Lalande

You are such a natural presenter, so passionate about your topic and so many talented friends to talk about. Love it!

All the people who live with you are also artisans . Selmar is also a talented artist. , everything he does is artistic. He draws, he plants, he cooks, he rebuilds, he paints. And he dances. And Marie and Davy is as well with her flower arrangements and Davy’s and Isabel’s gardening skills. And all that cook, that’s a huge skill. The bread, the desserts, the brick oven pizza., the different beverages. And Phillips skills for table dressing and refurbishment. You are all a talented community. I love each one of you for your special skills. You all are blessed to have one another. Just a loving, talented group

You have no fear. The art you share within the walls of LeLande is a tribute to your father and friends. The world without art would be a very sad place indeed.

What an incredible portrait of you by Oliver! He captured your face amazingly well. Love the purple aura too!

I was in tears when Stephanie was talking about the unfinished painting of her by her dad.

I love your father's medieval art, particularly the pen and ink. Gorgeous! I also really liked Michael Pott's nude with the gold background... and his photography is also amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Nick's sisters work is so reminiscent of W.Morris and j.ust lovely. No wonder you love it. All of these are treasures, thank you for sharing your collection Stephanie.

I love the frame for Michael Pott's Photograph. You have certainly inherited your father's love of color. You are a multitalented person

Stephanie once again never stop making these videos. I’ve just had my Monday morning breakfast with you and enjoyed your company so much. Thank you.

Absolutely loved this 💛🖼🖼🖼🎨. Thank you Stephanie. The bright colours of your Father's paintings are stunning. The unfinished portrait of you, is simply beautiful and so symbolic - in that your love and passion for La Lande will forever continue - never really reaching completion - as there will always be something new and exciting 🏰. Love Michael's photograph of you 👌 it looks like a painting and the frame suits perfectly. Enjoy being surrounded by fabulous art, as well as the talented people who clearly love & care for you 💛. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA

My mother is my favorite water colorist. The paintings I found in her trash pin adorn my home. So very lovely to listen to another lover of art…

Sewing is an art, too! I have enjoyed the creativity involved in sewing for many years. From my daughter’s silk brocade prom dress with matching bolero jacket to the silk drapes in my bedroom and the dozens of toss pillows - sewing is a wonderful outlet.

Michael's photo being in the old fancy frame actually draws your eye to the art and makes it look even more art like it almost like a painting on my screen

Dear Stephanie, such a wonderful vlog. So many amazingly talented people, including yourself. You have the artistic talent of vision, design, and your voice is stunning. I love all the artwork and the wonderful people who surround you. Henri must be well pleased! And the hedgehogs--we mustn't forget them! Who could!? 🦔💗🦔💗🦔

GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY IS ART!!!

✨ Love yellow on you! Your fathers art pieces are draw dropping! So special to have that and showcase it around the chateau. You create art with your DIYs and creative. Your vibe attracts your tribe, your friends of course are talented in their own ways & brings something special to the chateau ✨ great story telling 🖼

Fantastic artwork and photos! Interesting to see how your father's artwork developed.

So interesting to come across this vlog after seeing Michael P’s recent heart rending one on how he was emotionally blackmailed into signing away his rights to the artwork he produced for the wallpaper in collaboration and good faith. Your Self, giving testimony to the extent of the collaboration and your authenticity of being so happy for both of them. Such a wonderful Vlog full of wonderful art full of heart and Soul. Thank you, thank you for sharing. 💗

I am such a wet blanket. I don’t think I had a dry eye the entire time I heard you lovingly describe your friends and family. Especially your dear father. Great video!

How lucky you are to be surrounded by such incredible creativity and how lucky for the artists that you have a studio they may use.....I am glad you realise that your father’s artistry emerges from you as interior design. You are remarkable at it....and you have a lovely singing voice! I hope one day I may visit your enchanting home with my paintbrushes...

It's wonderful how the old and new just gel perfectly with the chateau. I do wish I had your eye x

Thank you! I love châteaux that are like museums in time, but I couldn’t live in one - I like the feeling of a home that’s been loved and lived in for generations, with art and furniture from every century!

Your father is so handsome! You definitely picked up his genetics.

I hope we get before and after photos of Michaels apartment he is making in the attic!

Very nice video. What a nice way to introduce your fathers work and also many of your gifted friends. Your father would be proud.

I loved listening to you share how special each artist is in your life and the contributions they are making to the Château. I also really appreciate you explaining all these relationships and how they relate to you. It was always a little confusing who exactly these people are. You really clarified a lot. What a rich life you are leading! Between the building you live in, the friends and family you have, the music in your home, the amazing food you make, the art that’s all around you, your beautiful clothing, and your travels. I have never known anybody who has a richer life and isn’t wealthy financially. You are a magnificent representation of how to manifest a life with the most beautiful vision! …And you’re sharing it with the rest of the world! Thank you for being such a positive influencer of beauty and positivity. Hello from Pennsylvania. 💗😁

I can not watch Escape to the Chateau DIY! We can not get it here in the states!!! Oh well, I so look forward to your Sunday diaries. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Stephanie, you are an artist with your beautiful costumes and interiors!

How have I only just seen this one.....Amazing...…I am now even more terrified for you to receive my Thank You painting xx

This was one of my favorite videos. 💜

PHOTOGRAPHY IS ART!!!

Thank you for sharing all the wonderful art works Stephanie! I hope one day my family and I can visit your place. My husband and I are both professional artists here in Toronto, Canada. My husband is a trained painter and photographer and I am a glass bead artist. I absolutely love your channel and all the wonderful human beings that visit. Wishing you the very best, XO

Love your yellow dress...just beautiful art. I am in awe of they talent. Looking at the art and learning more about the artist, was joyful. Thank you for sharing. Love to all at Lalande 🤗

I too was surrounded by art. My husbands, my father in law, my two daughters and now my granddaughter

Beautiful paintings. I am retired now and am going back to landscape painting while surrounded by artists in my own life. I would love a Lalande calendar of art. As I collect tiles mostly from family in the UK i would love to one day buy tiles based on your father's. A sheep, a chicken and a deer when Steve finishes them.

What a great episode! I enjoyed seeing all of your art treasures and the stories behind them. My favorite part.

Excellent telling of the different art at the Chateau! Like you, I can appreciate, but not replicate.

How wonderful. An artist’s studio.

Very odd! This says it was uploaded Nov of last year. I'm just now seeing it. I thought I'd watched every single video you had done lol. That photo of you coming down the stairs in abandoned building, actually looks like a hand painted canvas! Just stunning! Love it! Very talented indeed!

I just am so lifted by your Vlogs Stephanie...and todays was so interesting. Lovely to know the family and friends pieced together as important to me as the beauty of your Interiors Dec's. So Nice to see a picture of your father. I have to say what strong characters the 4 of you to stand above a business that could have been so draining...Alzheimers.. With your nature you make you renovations seem an easy task. I hope we never lose sight of you on TV....

Love your father's painting and Michael's photo

I just watched the Escape to the Chateau recent vlog and LOVED seeing the stables turned art retreat studio!! Oh, I wish I had a space like this! Because I have family living in my small home with me my painting space has to be in my bedroom most days. It was wonderful to see that stable filled with books, flowers, art, happy people! Well done! Your artist guests will love what you have created.

What a treat that this old vlog episode came up in my feed! Such gorgeous art you surround yourself with, and I do see your father’s creativity, attention to detail and optimism in your interior design work. Lovely to watch this one 😊

Gorgeous works of art, wonderful that you have so many of your fathers works , they are amazing. My Mum was a beautiful artist, she started in oil and that was her love but then my Dad bought his dream sailboat for them to sail for long time periods when he retired and oils just don’t work on the water, takes too long to dry. So she changed to watercolour and continued to paint as if in oil, no pale washed out colours for her, bright, rich, and dark colours illustrated her art. She loved painting flowers and was amazing at it, but also loved painting little villages by the sea as they sailed, lighthouses, beaches too. When not on the sailboat she loved painting forests, white birch, snow, so many beautiful scenes. I love her work and have a few full sheet watercolours and about a dozen smaller ones, mostly flowers which I proudly hang. My children each have a couple of full sheet and a very few small ones . Alas , there are several hundred hoarded in art cases shoved under a spare room bed at my sisters ,who never thought Mums art was very good but refuses to share them with us. It makes me very sad that Mums beautiful paintings, that gave her so much pleasure ,as she lost her hearing and lived in a silent world are just stuffed away. They were the accomplishment she was most proud of in her life. She didn’t start painting until she was nearly 50 and after a stroke at 63 couldn’t paint anymore but in those few years she was very prolific and did get to display in several galleries. She had a few shows and taught other beginning artists. So you’re very lucky you have your fathers paintings to enjoy whenever you want. Thank you for sharing the art and stories, I wish we got DIY here but sadly we don’t. 🥰🙋🏼

Dead souls can not enjoy art, maybe your sister will come around

This was a lovely episode! Hugs! 💝

Oh how I love this❣️ I have shared with you that my Grandmere was born in Paris and came to the US at age 12 as on orphan. She was a wonderful artist and we are blessed with many of her paintings. Her talent continues in our family my sisters and cousins are very talented. I was also thrilled to learn about all your friends and father. I feel such a connection with you❣️

That’s so amazing! I’d love to see some of her paintings. It’s amazing how our loved ones live on in their art, isn’t it?

I enjoyed this very much but missed seeing the wonderful wood sculptures by the repaired bridge included. It would be a tad difficult to bring them in the house but maybe some of the video of them? Truly loved seeing the paintings and photos. I look forward to seeing what's next. Thank you for sharing your adventures and I agree that wonderful old building in Michael's photo is just begging for someone to love and restore it.

What a wonderful video. All I can say is "more, more". Watching this has given my spirits such a lift that I can't describe. Thank you so much.

A golden yellow beaming ray of happy sunshine on a gloomy french day!

You are very talented artistic woman sharing your chateau brings some much joy to many Tell Michael I would love a print of the old house in Rhodes and the photo of the night sky if he does edition of that I met him in London for dinner one night years ago with kyla jane my daughter. I love your volg we are just waiting for your appearance on 2nd series it shows in New Zealand they show you in the intro so it's coming soon - we hope to come to visit next year my friend is a good artist and I would love to do some gardens for you plus cooking Going to help kyla purchase a property somewhere near and we will help with renovations as that's my creativity- now just building a new small house but it's my 23 house I've owned and always renovated as a project. Adore your mother kyla will tell you we are similar mothers but get work done - keep on enjoying good times xx

The Painting is Stunning!

Such beauty and so raw in emotion..

I love your dads medieval n other styles. Oliver is great too.

Just like your fathers last painting, La Lande is unfinished. Just like Disneyland , it will always be unfinished because there is always more imagination to bring to life. Beautiful artwork ♥️

The adorable Michael...

I absolutely love the painting that Oliver did of you laying on your bed.....it’s beautiful"....................Donna in Toronto

It's most difficult for an artist to change styles, your father is very talented and curious, he did both styles so well.

Way to go featuring the "Potagerie" !!! Well done. Fun vlog!

Your smile and positivity is contagious! Bravo for your enthusiasm and your joyful character

Doesn’t anyone else see Michael’s face, in profile, on the upper left of the photo, within the colors of the wall? Extraordinary!

Wonderful photo. It looks like a painting.

Hi just catching up from the beginning o f your blogs in awe of the creativity of la lande life from the food to the clothes, interior design, the art, I feel like I have been sucked up into vortex spinning dizzily (Shakespeare liked to invent words so I can to) into an eclectic mix of creativity and beauty. I'm not creative person at all but I am enjoying it so much I forgot I was laying in my bed with back pain. I just wanted to say the photo Michael took of you in the old building. Did you notice the face of a man in the left watching you decend the stairs in sure he is in awe. Thank you for bringing some sunshine into my miserable existence. God bless you.

A wonderful vlog Stephanie. Your passion and talent to share a love of life and beautiful things makes you a treasure. Xxx

Stephanie !! You have your Fathers eye and heart ..your a great designer dyi. im addicted to you vlogs and i think ive caught up actually...love from Gainesville Florida

Wow, thank you so much for sharing the wonderful art you are blessed to be surrounded by. You may not be able to draw a stick figure but the restoration of the chateau really showcases your amazing sense of style, colour and design. Once again thank you for another fantastic vlog.

Wonderful view of your dream for Leland.... bringing artisans ❤ together for food, art, and joy. From the terrace Australian arch to the Norwegian floral displays to Isabella garden vision to woodsman restorations to remote world viewers ... You have built a new Leland family. Thank you Stephanie--Oliver--and--Micheal.

I could listen to you all day long describing all the beautiful art at the Chateau. Such a treat!

As always your blog is wonderful,this is definitely your talent entertaining people.

So glad it's not just me who hasn't inherited artistic talent!

Beautiful

Perhaps one of my favourite blogs of yours S. I’ve been hoping you would talk about your father as I was wanting to learn more about him. All the artists are extraordinary and what amazing works you have to display throughout the chateau. Simply marvelous!

Such a special episode. Thank you so much, Stephanie for putting this together and sharing it.❤️

Hmmm watching this today 11/3/21. Michael Petherick your wallpaper is magnificent x

And now there’s even more artists like Andie (spelling?) Her art is so beautiful. They’re usually small pieces but giant pieces would really be nice to have framed in a room too!

So Inspiring Stephanie, Thank You

I love all the artwork you featured in this vlog! I'd love to see more of your father's colorful paintings though. Yes, you definitely got your father's artistic flair, Stephanie!

Loved loved loved your dad's medieval early work. I'm inspired to try painting on linen for wall covering ala tapestry . (From some of your chateaux video diaries)

Love this blog, each and everyone of these talents are so wonderful l to behold, I could go on butI will watch this again and be inspired to continue to make my own paintings.

All the different styles of artistry that you have shared are beautiful for different reasons. Nick's sister JoAnna needs to have some of those flower patterns made into gorgeous wallpapers and fabrics in which you could maybe do a room in LaLande. You are a very lucky lady who has surrounded yourself with love thru all your family/friends and now your dreams and hard works are now paying off and it shows in each video you create.

The William Morris by Michael is my favorite,.

Art retreats would be amazing... art is my therapy, my passion and love... greetings from McAllen Texas USA

Micheal, absolutely gorgeous work!!

Enjoyed this immensely.A real gem, and your love and appreciation of the artworks (and the artists) shining through, accompanied by your own brand of subtle humour, and humility. Adorable.

Amazing art!! Love all of them! ♥️ you’re very blessed that you’re surrounded by amazing talented people. Perhaps sometime I will send an original painting from my mother to put up in the chateau! ☺️

Love! 💚💚💚

I definitely love all things beautiful and artistic! And I definitely love your channel and Lalande! Perhaps one day I might be able to be an artist in residence there for a spell. ❤

Loved this video, I'm glad it popped in my suggestion because I didn't saw it when I watched the Sundays at the chateau playlist. I think it's not there, maybe you could add it

I'm just going straight to the point without using any poetic words at all and that is, Michael's painting of that girl with her back, the contrast of the simplicity and the gold background is just so you! Yellow is your colour and the contrast of colours is the essence of you. I love his painting and I love your father's that are so vibrant yet not harsh but striking and gentle if that makes sense. Love Oliver's as well. And such artistic talented each one of the painting displayed and shared here. Almost 3 am here in Asia and am still watching.

Wonderful !

I haven't thought the painting is unfinished. It looks beautiful like it is!

I adore the art of La Lande. I suggest you make prints and use them as a fundraiser..

You may not have the artistic touch for doing paintings,but you certainly have in blending in odd modern pieces in with the old.another interesting and informative vlog keep them coming

MER 🎶VO🎶 LOS.. SO GREAT YOUR HEARTFUL PRÄSENTATION.. this vlog is un "golden Schatz" than YOU un golden Angel Stephanie...🙏thank's so much for sharing...great Artists..great Talents...💖💞💖💞💖💞💖💞💐💐💐👋🏻 kisses from Austria💋💋💋💋🥂🍾🕊
