Happy Thanksgiving

[justicefmprice]

What...nobody looks at "old" videos anymore?

I guess people only watch what is trendy and popular at the moment, which means you art-enthusiasts are kind of....hmmm...trying to think of a kind way to put this.....phony.

Sorry...that's my opinion.

Oh well...I enjoy seeing 2008 Val--she looks a bit thinner here, but still has that great philisophical insight and talent.

Plus she's really, really cute, too.

Hi Val. I am grateful for my sobriety. Without sobriety I would not have discovered your wonderful art. Thank you for the reminder, I needed it.

[doublek7stereo]

you talk too much !

[bugzealot]

I am grateful for your videos Val, thank you! Steve x

[UncleBob88]

I really enjoyed this episode... on gratitude. I remember losing my mother 17 years ago at Thanksgiving. I was at dinner with family and friends last night, and part of the parlor games had each of us writing a note describing what we were grateful for. Mine said "a healthy family"... so I loved what you said about gratitude. As a frustrated artist, actor, musician I've loved your site for quite some time. Keep up the wonderful work. Regards Bob.

[luismemo21]

[ttakdliw]

Oh you had it right the first time, but worry not.

You will find the "manhood enhancement" surgeon you so desperately need eventually.

[bailodesnudo]

[thepianolover4ever]

[MarkGisbourneDAP]

Nice work, Val. For me, your best yet. Very clean.

[MAUL0r1]

I'm thankful for my connections.

[Yaiyasmin]

I'm also thankful for the people on youtube that support me.. for health, my family, friends and for your art vids of course!

[whowantstoknowII]

I was kind of surprised to hear what you had to say about the middle flower. And yep, it would be nice if people could enjoy their lives. I think that is what makes them fulfilling, or for me anyway. I'll make you a deal. I have designed a perpetual wheel. I hope to test the design early next year. If it works and is worth something, I'll give my part of it to the charity you mentioned. Is possible might do it with other people.

[joeconners]

you are so pretty and smart.

what kind of video camcorder do you use to create such nice pictures ? and what software

are you using so do editing. great job , well done ...thanks, joe

[oniKhimaira]

your flowers look like they're more thankful for sex than health, friends & love...

[Modularized]

F*ck you.

[chapmando2007]

One think I am thankful for is that valsartdiary is on youtube. I think she is fantastic.

[jbevier]

Hi Val, I am thankful for you. You've reminded us that Art is the truest and oldest form of language. You perfect it from concept to canvas. In my eyes and heart, you my dear are perfect. You have reaffirmed my belief in beauty and love. That they can co-exist. Happy Thanksgiving!

[ronboavida]

Val... I'm really thankful to have met people like you, expressing what life is about... I just had a one month tour with a wonderful singer songwriter from Portugal... and she basicly "paints" like you... in music... I feel blessed with people like you on this planet! Thanks for the energy you all...

[VivaToddVegas]

You don't sound like an "ordinary nerd"... :)

[bille2588]

thanks so much again for the time and smiles, such insite for such a young woman, although we all go through heartache and sorrow we always have much to be thankful for, bless you

[RoadRrunner]

Interesting the black covering the lilies and then uncovered again on film. Something "real" in that. Great charity; as always good job.

[shadragonz]

This is the third week with no Dr. Stinky... Is he on vacation in the spa pool? :)

Congrats on your one year anniversary. Glad you are happy with the result. Have a great day.

[valsartdiary]

Dr. Stinky was kinda upset taht some ppl didn't like him....

so he's on strike.

true story

[ttakdliw]

I like him.

Patches likes him.

Chopper likes him.

Even the ducks like him.

I bet if I took the monitor out side, the squirrels and everything else would like him too

My whole yard misses Dr Stinky!

[Shaylob]

Hmmm, just a little advice, I personally love watching the painting process. I know you like showing the final product, but when you begin to explain individual parts of the painting, show the sped up version of you actually painting it on the canvas.

I'm not saying you're doing a bad job, I LOVE your videos a lot. Been watching since last November =}

♥Teena

[darlynn12]

[jimjimereeya]

I am thankful for my family and extended family. I feel very lucky. There is a saying you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family. I don't know how I could have chosen a better one. Also, I am thankful for a couple great friends that I know I can always count on. - And of course your Channel. Watch it every Sunday for almost a year now. Just have to watch it late because I work all day on Sundays. (not thankful for that)

[thewrist]

COSITA MA' RICA

[jedisrm]

your welcome for being thankful! Im thankful for my niece, nephew, family, friends, and being entertained every week watching your videos!

[LJacks37]

wow. intense.

[valsartdiary]

I know is gonna sound corny but that was beautifully said :*)

[southernbandgirl]

I love HEIFER INTERNATIONAL!! I spent this weekend at Heifer Ranch and at it was amazing. I lived in their global village for a night and experienced what life is like in other less fortunate countries. Heifer give animals to families in need. The families then pass on that animal's baby to another family called "Passing the gift." Then this develops communities and helps entire villages and families sustain themselves and keep their land. That was really great you donated the profits to them.

[celestialsam]

Gorgeous painting this week, lovely Val:)

[batman6988]

And where thankful for you you Val.

[christopherbankston]

This Thanksgiving I am spending the day visiting elderly folks whom have nobody else to share the day with and buy them a meal if possible.

You're great Val. Thanks for the wonderful art, videos, and your wonderful sense of humor and life.

[LVStud71]

I'm Thankful for friends, family, health. I'm thankful I can go dress up as a Stormtrooper and cheer kids up for charity. I'm thankful for being in the Rose Parade this year. I'm thankful for your videos. It really does make my Sunday's complete.

[stefnee11]

I am thankful for my family.. for my talents.. for my friends.. for love and my health... This was a beautiful video, Val.. keep up the great work!

[ZachsMind]

Nowadays I try to see most holidays as just another day. I wish we could all be more thankful all year round, but I guess sometimes we need a holiday like this to remind those of us who forget to be thankful now and then.

[jeanintro]

Val, you should have your own 30/minute TV show.

I love your episodes and your paintings.

Cheers!

[Arvegas]

Where she from? Her roots? What culture/country does she hail from?

[waldo2020]

she's very secretive about her roots. the accent and grammatical errors point to Spanish, most likely central or south America.

[WoahNelly23]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[VivaToddVegas]

I am thankful to be alive at a time when I can interact with people all over the country and all over the world from the comfort of my bedroom. I am also grateful I found your channel, Val!

[valsartdiary]

I'm grateful for you as well :)

How is the comedy group doing?

[VivaToddVegas]

We have five videos up now... but things took a little step back yesterday. Let's just say we're looking for a few new members, and leave it at that. ;)  Still, I won't give up. It's not in my nature to quit. Have a great Thanksgiving, Val!

[VivaToddVegas]

I forgot to tell you, Val... Nov. 18th was my one year anniversary on YouTube! Guess we started right around the same time.

I learn about art and music and poetry.

Then there is you. You are a most talented artist and yet you have a cute way about you that makes it a pleasure to watch. So you are every bit as important in my thanks as I am to you. Happy Thanksgiving, Val.

[zeutheir]

I'm thankful for you and your videos that I get to watch every week, Val! Thank you so much for sharing your great talent and hard work with the world here on YouTube.

[BornAtNight]

I'm thankful there are more people who feel gratitude (grateful) than there are who feel greatness (greatful), this Thanksgiving.

[EvoAve]

As a fellow artist I am always grateful for the vast amounts of contrast on this planet. I am also thankful for YouTube and the fact that I was magically attracted to your channel which never ceases to inspire me.

[marleyinoc]

Happy Thanksgiving, think it's great you are donating proceeds from this one - hope much is earned for Heifer International...
