Thank you for stopping by! In this video, I'm creating my very last commissioned artwork. This one is 48x48" on canvas and I'm using acrylics and various mark-making tools.
My work is inspired by my love for fields of flowers. You'll see me create it from start to finish. There's no music, however, you'll hear me talk through a lot of my process and discuss products/tools that I'm using.

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!

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!

[@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!

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!!!!

[@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!

[@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.

Yay! Love hearing that, Maureen! Thank you!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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. 😍❤

[@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!

[@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!

[@julietoye9872]

Love!!!! Looks amazing on your cousins wall, just beautiful ❤🤗❤😊

[@BettyFranksArt]

Like it was meant to be there! Thanks, Julie!

[@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!

[@tendr247]

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!

[@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!

[@piera8207]

This picture is really gorgeous, even with these colors a little less lively than usual

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you, Piera! I appreciate you watching!

[@carolclay7082]

really love this. For me, the more natural palette is really peaceful and appealing! Truly one of my favorites that I've watched you do. Glad you came out of commission retirement to do this! LOL

[@BettyFranksArt]

Many thanks, Carol! I'm also glad I did the commission. I learned a lot!

[@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!

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

[@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

Great video. I no longer do commissions, interesting to hear about people pleasing, makes sense. Too much like homework too. I always enjoy your KZbin videos so much Betty. I've gotten to where I don't like IG for art process, they are too short and can be like clutter for the brain in today's fast paced life :-) But your YT videos are amazing and I've sent many people here to watch. This is a beautiful painting, like all of your work, really admire your work. Thank you.

[@BettyFranksArt]

So cool! Thank you for sending folks over to watch my videos, Kathy! And, I agree with you...the Reels on IG make my head spin half the time that I have to just skip them. I especially hate it when something is written and I can't read it. Slow and steady...my kind of speed!

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”.

Thank you, Debbie! Just get out your paints and start playing!

[@shellienoyes100]

I know Betty you know way more than me but the thing about commissions, in my experience at least, are the conditions under which the assignment is accepted. I do commissions because when someone asks me to paint for them, I am so honored to be asked, that I cannot say “No”. 🤣 We of course discuss what is wanted, which usual for me work is the color pallet and size. I never agree to a recreation of someone else’s work, but I will utilize a color pallet and general concept, (I only do abstract commissions). I insist on a full money back guarantee and collaborate 1-2 times during production. The money back thing gives me a freedom that I need to make art that I love. Hoping the client loves it also but not consumed by it. I also turn down commissions if the request is not what I do, or if the prospect is not someone I want to work with. Thank you for your work Betty!

[@BettyFranksArt]

It sounds like you found a process that works for you, Shellie! That's wonderful!

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.

I've watched all of your videos and to my surprise this is now my new favorite! Usually not a fan of grays but the way you mixed grays, greens and blues is so pretty. 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! 🎨 🙂

Hi Brenda! I'm so happy to hear that you won't be packing up your paints. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Keep on creating!
