Betty, bless your heart, I love everything you do! I have tried to emulate your style for years, to no avail, I might add! I love to paint using neutrals as well as vibrant colors! I’m 71 years young and still learning from my favorite artist…thank you! 💕💞💗

[@BettyFranksArt]

Awe...you're super sweet, Nita! 71 years young and still creating. Love hearing that!

[@evapektas3832]

Create your own style...you can do it...

[@leighglenn5018]

Love the palette on this one!

[@marychristophi6688]

Wonderful beautiful art greatest teacher ❤

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much, Mary! You're very sweet!

[@LIFESaWONDER]

Thank you Betty. You've helped me overcome "the raised eyebrow" look from some people. Marks, shapes, colour, depth....fantastic!!

[@BettyFranksArt]

I love hearing that! Keep on creating what makes you happy!

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Hello Betty, Bravo it's a masterpiece. I absolutely love this painting, it is one of my favourites. The colour combinations and composition are just gorgeous and it really enhances your cousins sitting room, what a beauty! Thank you for your invaluable encouragement, advice, painting tips and your artist suppliers information. Congratulations on your new spacious studio. Best wishes. Xx

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much, Laura! I love the way this one turned out despite having such a hard time with the colors. It's good to stretch a bit and do something a little different!

[@Onthesummit]

Fascinating! All the way through I kept thinking, stop, but then the end result is just perfect - I LOVE this painting!!!!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thanks so much, Jo! I appreciate you watching it come together!

[@CatMcCarthy7]

Absolutely the most magnificent painting I’ve ever seen you do!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Wow, thank you, Cat! It was a challenge, but I sure do love how it turned out!

[@shellienoyes100]

I’m glad you made an exception to your “no more commissions” it’s wonderful!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Me, too! Well, at least for this one! Thanks so much, Shellie!

[@Paintbug]

Thanks so much for inviting us into your studio to watch you create your wonderful paintings. I enjoy seeing your process and listening to your narration.

[@BettyFranksArt]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, Linda!

[@keylacarney718]

I follow you because of the bright happy colors. I love your process and absolutely think you are amazing. Im planning to try the Nova Paints soon as well.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Wonderful! They're having a sale right now: www.bettyfranksart.com/favorite-nova-color-paints

[@joann031481]

First comment but have watched your KZbin videos for a very long time. I love your honesty and willingness to talk about the psychological challenges (i.e. doing commissioned work). As a psychotherapist, although I'm not an art therapist per se, I often will ask my clients to sketch, 8.5x11 paper and #2 pencil without thought, simply allowing the hands to mark freely. It's the beginning of awareness for so many people of what they're feeling. Thank you again, you're a gifted teacher, amazing artist, and wonderful human 💖

[@BettyFranksArt]

Oh, thank you so much! I so appreciate your kindness. There's so much we can learn from one another. I'm happy to be here to share my experiences!

[@nitawray1125]

Thank you Betty! It’s pretty in limited colors. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you!

[@annkilian467]

The balance of the different areas is wonderful!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you for letting me know that, Ann! I appreciate it!

[@wfdebicki]

Love this Betty! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge so generously. Whenever I begin to give up on this painting journey you seem to put up a video that truly inspires me. Î’ve been struggling with a commission and feeling EXACTLY how you describe feeling! Your words really helped! I absolutely love your happy colour puces, but I have to say I love this piece just as much! I love how you describe your thought process in so much detail. I am pretty new to abstract work and lose my footing frequently. Your descriptions really help to ground me in the process. You are a wonderful teacher!

[@BettyFranksArt]

I'm sorry to hear that you're stuck with a commission. I know that feeling and it's not fun. I hope that you can push through it to finish the piece. Thank you for letting me know that my videos inspire you. It means a lot to me!

[@gillianpatterson4021]

I just love your work and you inspire me every time I watch your video's. I love to work along side you as well.

[@ilonajeanpassino608]

WoW I absolutely love the colors in this one Betty. Especially after it was hung in their home, went really well with their colors. Just amazing to watch your progress.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much! Although it was such a challenge for me, I really do love how it turned out!

[@julijopeterson7096]

Love your new studio and you have a window looking outside. It's so nice and bright and HAPPY! It's your new happy space! Lovely...

Hi JuliJo! Yes, loving my windows. I don't feel so caged in like I did in my last space!

[@julijopeterson7096]

@@BettyFranksArt OOHH!!! So glad you have your windows. Sounds like you reworked your space. Now you can really be a happy camper. Paint on!!!! LOL!

[@teresamohon6189]

Love this! And you’re showing how you stretch yourself in going more neutral, doing the commission etc. I still love love love your super colorful work but this painting is stunning and even someone who doesn’t think they like abstract art would have to love this one!

You're super sweet! Thanks, Teresa!

Its just perfect, i love the soft tones.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thanks so much, Sandra!

[@DSmith-pc9jn]

I have little experience with abstract but want to do more. You are an inspiration. I used to use more local color but am now more into experimenting with bold shapes and colors. I am drawn more to neutrals now because it is new for me. I am realizing that neutrals make the bold colors stand out more.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Yes, I agree...neutrals will make your bold colors stand out more. I try to incorporate some into all my paintings. Thanks so much for watching!

[@pamjennings825]

[@pamzavada5269]

I LOVED this Betty! What a success! And you totally nailed that middle section that was so daunting for you. It really ended up so beautiful and interesting.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much, Pam! The middle stages are always so challenging. I really love how it turned out!

[@АннаПавлова-ъ4д]

Dear Betty, when I was watcing you working with a gray middele section, I saw mayself when i can not find the right way for a section in my paining and recolor it again and again going crazzy. Thank you for this episod. Your freely intuitive painting is inspiring me a lot. And you are so right that we all need a break from instagram and all information noice otherwice we can lose ourself and burn

[@BettyFranksArt]

Yes! There seems to always be an area that I work and work and work until I get it right. And as for IG and any social media, breaks are good. I sure enjoyed my break and now I'm trying to figure out how much time I want to spend on there. Thanks so much for watching!

[@gabrielcorbin6747]

Betty, Loved it. Love it. And loving it. CONGRATULATIONS! GC

[@BettyFranksArt]

Many thanks, Gabriel! Thank you for watching!

[@sherrierichard2848]

Bravo! Such depth with the neutral colors being the supporting players to the fewer bright colors as jewelry! Same concept is used with realism-every thing can’t be the star, the artist chooses the stars of the show!

[@BettyFranksArt]

I love that: everything can't be the star. Thanks for sharing that, Sherrie!

[@debbiegarland7124]

I hear what you say about commissions stifling your artistic flow, you did so well. I actually paint on acrylic plexiglass and the acrylic paint adheres perfectly so that’s your problem. The natural light in your new studio looks fab. Thanks for sharing you are very generous. I love the way you know the day is new by your earrings lol.

[@BettyFranksArt]

HI Debbie! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. That's so cool that you paint on plexiglass! Maybe I shouldn't get rid of the one I have and just create something on it!

[@krisap]

Your colour sense is bar none! You have impeccable taste when it comes to your combinations. I'm always in Awwww

[@BettyFranksArt]

Oh thank you! I appreciate your kindness, Kristine! I love color---and now, even neutrals!

[@abstraddic0442]

Definitely loved it. 👍

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much!

[@susanowens88]

I admire the way you freely paint. I use lots of rich color in my paintings for the most part. I love the more vibrant colors but this one works as well. I am an impressionist painter, but trying to include more expressionistic mark making. Enjoyed and learned from you. Thanks!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you, Susan! I'm glad you enjoyed this video!

[@wendyireland6034]

I have just watched you painting this new commission on my big screen smart T.V. Betty which is great as the close ups are life size. I Love your Beautiful Creation as always. Your New Studio must feel much more comfortable for you to work in. Your explanation of how you decide each step and how you go about it is very helpful as we as the Varnishing and removal of the Canvas. And the final steps of the hanging in the new owners home . Wow. I had to take some screen shots off of my Big T.V. of you. Stay Calm & try not to Stress out you are doing great just the way you are. 😍❤

Because of your art hubby got me the starter kit of nova paints. I really want more colors but everything is tight so I’m treating these like gold.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Vicki, there are so many colors you can mix with the starter kit of 15 colors! Enjoy! And, you have a wonderful hubby!

[@astridglodek3099]

I’ve been creating with really bright happy colors for 3+ years , but for several months I/ve been training myself to create in more neutral colors and the last 13 paintings are even scenes that look like dusk getting towards evening and darker skies. I love the look.

[@BettyFranksArt]

That sounds wonderful, Astrid! It's great that you stuck with it. I think if I kept to neutrals, I'd find it easier. But, my love is still with the brighter colors...for now!

And the depth in this one... Struggling with the comision and being out of your comfort zone (as you describe) was totally worth! Thanks for sharinG your process!!

Thanks for watching, Belinda! As much as it was out of my comfort zone, I really loved the way it turned out!

[@sandrawhite8412]

Hi Betty! Love love love! So inspirational and informative. You briefly mentioned painting palette. I recently learned to create a diy glass palette that i love. It's an old glass from a picture frame. My Nova and Basic paints move nicely. Once done and dry i simply spray with plain water and scrape away in seconds. It's a win win for me.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thanks for sharing!! Sounds like I need to get glass!

[@sandradonnelly3526]

I have used lots of bright colors,but I loved the neutral colors you used for your cousin’s commissioned piece.

You're very welcome, Vanessa! Thank you for watching!

[@joancollier4488]

I was so surprised when I saw the colours but knew it was yours straight away! Great to watch this developing from beginning to the finale and always interesting to hear your process. I read quite a lot of comments and was struck by one in particular. It's not something I dwell on too much, but I too grew up with a deal of negativity. I do find myself leaning towards bright colours and I'm semi- conscious of this when I pick out colours. I'm aware of my feelings when I look at what I've created and where I could paint dark (as it's somewhere inside me) I believe it makes me definitely steer away from going there. I hope this makes sense.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Yes, makes total sense, Joan. I love that you're very much aware of your color choices and how it ties into your history/story. Keep on creating!

Favorite section is Blue in bottom left and top left corner. Very calming. You're so great at putting your colors together. Just when I was about to put up the paints, you've inspired me to try again! Lucky cousin! 🎨 🙂

[@Gabby-ey9br]

I absolutely adore COLOUR...have done commissions, in subdued naturals....gave me anxiety, so i eventually stopped taking commissions, and got my spark and spontaneity back ,thankfully. !!!! It is the use of great colour which spurs me on. For 30 years i supplied scarves, silk and cotton and huge silk shawls, throughout NZ. Plus a line of paintings, quite zany and mostly abstract. But i have had about a 3 year break, i fell apart with the tyrannical government who were trying to control us due to COVID. I rebelled against control, it has not been a good time. .....And now i am full of designs and eager to start painting. I saw you do 2 small canvases which were same colours and complemented each other....they were so bright and happy and i rushed out and bought supplies.. Thankyou Betty, love Gabby M

[@BettyFranksArt]

Hi Gabby! So glad to hear that you're back to your creative self! Yay! Have fun doing what you love!!

This is one of my more favorites Betty. Maybe because (to answer your question) I create with neutral colors so I guess I’m biased. Either way very nicely done, and wonderful to see another “grey one”.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much! I'm now loving neutrals a bit more!

[@julievictoria4526]

Hello! I just discovered you through this video. This was wonderful to watch, but I also really liked your commentary. I love how you described your "intuitive art" process. I'm finding my artwork is going more in that direction, and I often find it difficult to answer viewers questions, such as, "How did you do that? What made you use those colours?, etc." My response is always "I don't know, I just did it!" So this was really nice to hear/see what this process is like. I love how the painting turned out; it worked so well in the space it was hung. I do LOVE your more colourful work, so I will definitely be following you on your socials. Thank you for producing such happy and honest creations!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you for your kind words, Julie! One thing I love about folks asking me question about my art is that it forces (in a good way) to look more deeply into me and my art and my process. I begin to better understand myself and why I create the way I do. Thank you for watching this video and for discovering my KZbin channel! Welcome!

[@debtempleton9424]
