The thing I absolutely love about you, Betty, is your total honesty in everything. You have zero ego and that makes you an incredibly special person, and an even more outstanding artist. Your videos are the best online, by a comfortable mile. Thanks for being uniquely you!

[@BettyFranksArt]

You're very kind! Thank you, Marty!

[@fr.philipneripowellop7695]

Betty, I've used the first few minutes of several of your vids to teach my seminarians -- by analogy -- how to begin composing a homily: "Just get rid of the white space! You can always edit!" :-)

[@BettyFranksArt]

Oh my goodness! This is the best compliment I have received! Thank you, Father, for sharing my beginning stages as an example to just get in there and do something! #grateful

[@ASMRA33]

Hi Betty:) Ive been on a wonderful art journey this year...more like a homecoming of sorts.I was once a lover of art and a successful touring musician and I went through some things and ended up homeless and addicted to drugs...anyhow, Ive been sober five years now and Ive never been happier and Im enthused to be making art again, especially while healthy! I adore your art and listening to your voice is very soothing...thank you so much for your generosity and for all the love you put out. Its truly one of a kind! ❤❤❤❤ Sam

[@BettyFranksArt]

Hi Sam! Congratulations on being sober for 5 years! A huge accomplishment! I'm so happy you found me and my art here on KZbin. I hope you continue to watch my videos and enjoy the process of creating art. Wishing you all the best!!

[@artfervorpaintings]

Beautiful painting, lovely colors… I watch you paint 5 times a week, a few hours each time, the same ones over and over just because your colors relax me. Thank you for creating amazing abstract paintings. Thank you for sharing.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much 😀! I'm so happy you're enjoying my videos and I really appreciate you watching them multiple times! If you're interested, you can watch my recent podcast interview here (it's on KZbin): kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5KaoICBZ8p2qs0 Thanks again!

[@energymed13]

Thank you for being so generous with your time and work.

You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!

[@lindalori52]

They say a painting is never finished, it is just abandoned. I am now continuing quite a few. Great vid. Thanks!!!!

[@BettyFranksArt]

That is awesome! Yes, they're abandoned! Seems like there is always something more that can be done if we wait long enough! Have fun!

[@alloftheaboveeunicesmith9625]

In bed not feeling well today so soothing to my spirit and making me feel better. Beautiful.

[@BettyFranksArt]

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Glad I was able to be a part of your day! Hope you're better soon!

[@phyllisroestenberg1008]

You are such a bright light. I appreciate your generosity.

[@BettyFranksArt]

You're super sweet, Phyllis! Thank you!!

[@eunheekim6105]

Thank you so much for this! I used to think a failed painting was just that. A fail. But now I understand I can turn that around into a good piece. It's good to see another painter's process 😁

[@BettyFranksArt]

Glad the video was helpful to you! In most cases, I believe you can take a failed painting and breathe new life into it. I've had more than one finished painting with a failed painting under it. And, I just love the build up of layers it offers. Keep on creating!

[@richrogers2157]

I said to a friend the other day , I want to steamroll a painting the way Betty does. She said what are you taking about [she thought I meant some kind of painting machine 😮, no, I said Ms. franks just keeps going like the energizer bunny untill her surface has a thousand layers , looks as deep and exciting as a jungle and she gets to where she is at peace with the whole. That’s my new year’s resolution for 2025🎉. Thanks Betty.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Haha...let's steamroll all our paintings in 2025! Thanks so much for sharing that, Rich. Love it!

[@TammyPermenter]

Awe...thanks for sticking around all these years, Tammy! I really appreciate it!

[@patriciaporter5773]

I kept expecting to see a touch of red, just to complement your greens and blues. You pulled it off without it tho, and I really learned a lot. As always I love your process, Betty.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Oh thank you, Patricia! I really stuck to a monochromatic color scheme for this one. It was different for me, but truthfully, I've been trying to do more like them! Thanks so much!

I loved the middle painting with so many greens. It was lovely to me! Thanks for a great video. I set up my studio today just like this one. Now waiting for paints from Nova. I'm so happy because painting, colors and creativity is in my blood. I'm honestly not that good yet but I'm happier and that's a huge, huge pay off! Thanks again!

Another great video. It's funny; I was really digging it 30 min it & right then you said, "This isn't working for me." Just goes to show how different people see things. Just like everything you do, I love this one too.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Yes! We all see something different and want to express something from within. I wasn't feeling it, so I had to make a change. Thanks for watching, Tommy!

I've subscribed to your channel while ago but it was actually the very first time I've seen the whole video for more than an hour! And I have to admit that I DO REALLY LOVE THAT, I mean it ❤. It's very inspiring and I absolutely do agree with you that if someone see anything that takes an hour or so..., definitely it must worth it and it means that person is willing to learn or improve his/her artwork. Anyway I wanna thank you for doing this, because I know it must be so time consuming. Thanks a lot for sharing these fantastic videos with us for free ❤

[@anthonyhirst3940]

Hi Betty, i am Anthony again just working on and maybe finish a painting. The thing I really enjoyed about your videos is you show your painting not working and you keep over painting. I do this but watching you has giving me more direction. I live in Sydney Australia and have really enjoyed your process ❤

[@BettyFranksArt]

Hi Anthony! I tend to keep on painting until I'm happy with the piece. The layers add so much more depth and interest to the painting. Thanks for watching!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Thank you so much! I was trying to post weekly, but then my trip to Croatia came up and I couldn't get any more done before I left. And, at my parent's house in Croatia, the wifi isn't strong enough to upload new videos, so it'll have to wait until I return to California again to post new ones!

[@taarria1551]

I use Nova Color because of you :)... I love them, the only thing is that they seem to dry much faster than other brands I've used. I closed the jars immediately after using. Not sure why is that. I'm in Florida.

[@mypaintedhut111]

Hi Betty, I just painted over a fail, that I almost kept alive, but I had to dig deep to bring myself to paint over it and by golly, it turned out to be one of my all time favorite paintings I've ever done (my opinion, anyway). I lost some of the organic looseness that you do so well, but I haven't mastered that yet. I'm just so happy I took the plunge and created something so beautiful I would never have brought to life had I not trusted my instincts. Love art for that, creating something beautiful out of the clear blue sky! I never really appreciated abstract until I fell in love with your work. Love your art so much!!! 😍

[@BettyFranksArt]

I'm super happy for you, Phae! I'm so glad you had the courage to not only paint over a previous painting, but to see it through to the end!

[@ellascottagecompany2044]

Have always been a huge fan.

[@BettyFranksArt]

I so appreciate you, Ella! Thanks for being a huge fan!!

[@SingYourselfWell]

Betty, I just LOVE it at 29 minutes! It reminds me of the scenes in Croatia you showed on IG. Landscape-y, which is unusual for you these days. Really loving that. Can you see what I mean? Upper left waters with waves, and a grayish rock, then that interesting foreground, almost sensing stairs going up to the church or something... 💖

[@BettyFranksArt]

Perhaps I was thinking about my upcoming trip! I created this one several weeks before heading to Croatia. I liked it at that stage, but I wasn't in love with it so I kept going!

[@SingYourselfWell]

@@BettyFranksArt yes, totally love that you, and all artists, everyone really, go by our Intuition. Such a blessing. ✨🧘✨💖✨🙏✨

[@astridglodek3099]

Hi Betty. I use Nova and Liquitex colors only bc when I need only a couple of colors and a who lot it’s cheaper to buy one or 2 Liquitex tubes as opposed to paying the shipping for the Nova paints. Michael’s or Hobby Lobby are accessible to me. But if Nova’s shipping wasn’t an issue I’d use all Nova paints. I do love the high pigment load of Nova.

[@BettyFranksArt]

Totally understand! You gotta do what fits the creativity budget best!
