Painting With a Purpose: Artist Jean Banas - Abstract Expressionist

[@RichardBarnett-hs1qy]

She and her work are wonderful. Her work is on par with the other great abstract expressionists. So deserving of recognition!

[@georgebyrne9002]

maybe the most vital and alive 92 year old iv ever seen

[@sharonjack8582]

One of the aspects of your abstract paintings which is so appealing and soothing to me is how you have large areas for the eyes to rest. This is the mark of a successful abstract in my opinion. Plenty of action with places for the eyes to take a break.

[@minketheodora]

You are a great inspiration for women-artists! Thank you, for your stamina and beautifull works!

[@joannebeauchamp1169]

Good for her! Go Jean, GO! Your paintings ROCK! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@jonmc3]

What an inspiration. Keep creating.

[@just-anillusion5893]

Absolutely powerful art! Georgeous!!!

[@annrubino6252]

Jean is a treasure, a lightening bolt of inspiration to all, even "mature" painters. Much thanks for bringing this to you tube.

[@ambratesori2239]

She is surely an inspiration for every artist.

[@bonnie_nelms]

Wow! Your art is fabulous…so bold and powerful! And YOU…such an inspiration. I’m 83 and feel energized seeing this video and hearing your story. You motivate me to keep at it. Wishing you many more years of painting enjoyment!

[@sharonjack8582]

WOW, Jean, WOW. I really understand that we artists do keep evolving with our work with each passing day. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and incredible artistic outputs. Raymond is also amazing with making your frames!!! 😊

[@vanhawk1074]

Being creative can be frustrating process. Awesome attitude , love it

[@plum1700]

I am no where near your age Jean, but oftentimes get despondent when I see submissions requesting only people up to 35! At that age my art was nowhere as good as it is now. I feel one matures artistically with the years - like an old cheese. I will try to remember you when I feel bad about my age. You art is fantastic. So strong and vibrant. May I say happy? Even the dark ones. Go well. M

[@BunnyLang]

Jean's work is incredible, I love it. It is also inspiring to know one can keep on painting to such an age! Thank you!

[@jayumble8390]

Beautiful work. Thank you, Jean!!

[@kekeynovelli3948]

❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing your art with us. You have inspired me, thank you again.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Jean's sense of creative adventure and exploration is so inspirational. I love that she still gets completely lost in her art. Thank you so much for sharing her story.

[@josephtermeer5196]

I love your paintings, they are really strong. I hope to be as blessed as you when I'm your age.

[@raph3156]

Theyre fantastic, good job!! 💖💖💖

[@janinafisher101]

What an inspiration! I hope to be one of those grey-haired old ladies of Gloria Steinem's quote who take over the world. But first let's inspire it with our art, like Jean! This is so expressive and full of life!

[@peckerdecker]

Fantastic artwork. Brilliant. Great stuff

[@Moe-zo4fm]

Thank you for your video. You are a beautifully talented artist.

[@RosabelVerde]

I'm deeply impressed by your art and your energy, Jean! Your paintings in this video make me want to see more of your work immediately. Thanks and all my best wishes to you! ❤

[@Colorado2210]

A really great article about a wonderful artist!

[@steviewonder9216]

So heartwarming! I love art

[@TheDabshear]

Thank you for introducing Jean to me! She and her husband are delightful!

[@gailresources3970]

Such an inspiration. I hope people who haven’t will study more about abstract art and keep viewing it. Jean is one reason why.

[@ljoykakoske4301]

beautiful and powerful!

[@hubbert22]

What a fulfilling life you have! Wonderful!

[@MyCampbell-e1l]

Just found this artist totally inspiring. As an 80 year old artist I understand her thinking!

[@ShakiraAunty]

I love Jeans art and i love her humility❤

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Yes! Jean is awesome.

[@johnnystuarthorn4573]

Lovely couple who have certainly grabbed life 😀 beautiful just beautiful

[@LisaSonora]

❤ gobsmacked by inspiration and beauty. I love this story so much. Love your work and attitude, Jean!

[@rontober4611]

Some of the best paintings I've ever seen. Period.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

I know what you mean, Jean...sometimes I start out with a definite idea of what the painting will be, but the painting tells me otherwise...you have to be a creative person to understand that process. I Love your beautiful work!! ❤

[@くみこ-r8y]

wow, I love her "Precious (film)" painting, which talks to my soul. she's amazing! Also only 5 minutes she takes to get her focus back from a distraction! when I take 1 day sometimes,....

[@Kontorgh_art]

Amazing paintings.

[@thedawneffect]

Gorgeous paintings and so inspriring!!!! Thank you Jean Banas for your lovely work and sharing your studio with us :) As an abstract expressioinist WOMAN painter, it is ridiculous to think that ART is only a man's domain (still). Classic infuriating sexism. Thank you for being you JEAN and doing your dymanic paintings. You deserve all the attention! Xo

[@PeaceTrainJump]

Inspiring! Brilliant work.

[@hongleong5537]

Two couple in their golden years but so young in spirit ❤❤❤

[@garyji]

Very inspiring on many levels. And very dynamic paintings.

[@kathleenclarke828]

abstraction usually leaves me baffled and confused-or uninterested with a feeling of slap dash decoration but your work is loaded! Thank you.

[@rachelsremedies2602]

Am I jealous or what! You go girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@studiokazuyo]

I like her work. I use acrylic so easy to paint abstract but oil is hard because it does not dry fast. I understand her and I too tackle with my paintings. Glad she has a friend husband.

[@NINrocks21]

amazing! very inspiring!

[@atfundramccoy8999]

Awesome 😊

[@TheElleFactorAgain]

Outstanding 🎉❤

[@fifthavenue8505]

You have my admiration.

[@teejay1474]

92 wow what an inspiration. Great stuff ! You do NOT look your age.

[@shelleysechrist508]

I wish I had a book of all her paintings because a few seconds glance is not enough.

[@whoisrussell]

love this!

[@creative2power]

Very inspiring artist story for the youngest ones

[@jacquelineflood3244]

Oh my god.. 💛✅

[@pauleliot6429]

she is fantastic.

[@throughmyeyes9940]

Does Jean Banas work in oil or acrylics?

[@diannekischitz8636]

I wish I had a painting to live with...or two, or three...

[@albucarcassartist]

good to see marxist art coming from a 92 year old. warms the heart.

[@ruthgonzalez6547]

Good for you.

[@MyWalk3296]

💞

[@shecamt]

Good for her. I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful, but why are her paintings exceptional? It's definitely not my cup of tea, but I've always been curious as to what people see in this type of abstract art that makes them think these are beautiful paintings.

[@luckyfinger13]

very Miriam Cahn, regarding subject matter

[@paperprincess1050]

Why would anyone make such a stupid ignorant comment about this work!! > "a young man" really wtf is wrong with people.

[@peterkilbridge6523]

My six-year-old kid can do that. 😊

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

De Kooning once said that there was a lot of creativity in the act destruction.

[@listen2music811]

God bless her that she still has the vigor and mobility and creativity to create her art. ! I just am not a fan of contemporary or abstract art...that's just my take. Maybe I have seen too much of it over the years. ...Just being honest.

[@southworthfamily4937]

Wharever floats your boat.

[@DarrylBarnes]

Shes 92? She doesnt look a day over 65

[@macmensch]

Done this stuff myself but now I feel there is no…zero…nix…reason to paint another abstract painting…period.

[@JimmyMac717]

What’s the point of?

[@DrJones-nh4my]

She does not look like she’s 92. Much younger looking.

[@mr.humbert3411]

Sono io con la cagarella

[@AndrewNeale-go9eq]

Sorry i don't call it art,maybe it's just me.

[@swagnusmcduck7566]

I absolutely disagree, but it makes sense to me that people think this way. It’s pretty obvious really. I encourage anyone who thinks like this, to try and do it themselves. I think you’ll find, that it takes much longer than you’d think, and that your first results will come off as just tacky and uninteresting. You can most often see in a painting, whether or not the creator actually gave a shit.

[@AndrewNeale-go9eq]

@@swagnusmcduck7566 rubbish

[@cindyoverall8139]

My God, how absolutely absurd! She needs a visit to the Rijks to see what the real deal is. I am an artist almost her age, but I believe that art should be a positive gift to others. It , definitely should not be about the artist and their pity party. That is the false ego speaking. Art is the spiritual emotion that comes from realms unknown. It is the poetry from “the Cloud of Unknowing,” Abstraction is nothing but a chaotic grievance that happens to be in paint. Watch that type paint.. they go from table to canvas just doing anything.. inanity

[@southworthfamily4937]

My sentiments exactly!

[@mytinplaterailway]

I guess the name 'Jean' could be a man or woman.

[@fichoudhury4432]

disappointing art work

[@rlarson8470]

Abstract is okay. Messing around just looks like she did destroy the painting. Not my thing to enjoy, especially describing what the heck is it supposed to be. Just saying

[@kalana576]

I think that is lie, 5he teeth tells your age, she is not 92!

[@wildernesswoman123]

Maybe her teeth are capped as mine are...or dentures perhaps or maybe she has good genes.

[@RandomDustBunny]

Why on earth would she lie??
