[shoezomaku]

i was just randomly going around looking up video games and this video came up in a "suggested" link, then i noticed no one commented on this in like a year. so i thought you might want a new comment so here it is....... hi

[macinaffy]

[FryingtheFluff]

wow, thats really neat.

[lovelylady203]

wow thats so amazing. i love all of your work! its breathtaking!

[nileppezdude]

It's sad how all these guys can only react to your videos with sexually charged comments but I guess that's what happens when you're a decent looking woman on youtube

[2president2]

UR secretly a lesbian and have sexual thoughts about this video.

[Princesspi]

I like what you said about talking in the sleep. I am always scared I will be exposed in my sleep talk :P

[Princesspi]

nice painting

[jesserellatapioca]

I think u painted a circus because u were feeling rebellious, and alot of times a circus implies rebellion...oh sorry, u were trying to NOT have to explain it...my bad... you did an excellent job, as usual!!!!!!!! Keep 'em coming!!

[jodykwik]

one of your best Val! not just saying it either....8^))

[MoeTuesday13]

damn, tmi.

[tyakelly]

my mentor used to call these works medtations. I would also like to say this is you best work yet sweetie.

[nads2dio]

Its your treasured pictured memories, its beautiful.

[mbwchampion]

I thought that was one of your best paintings. I liked it. :P

[themilkypirate11]

Love it!

[gothkid1]

Val, I've always thought you were crazy! But it's a good thing! It makes you, your art, and your videos originality.

[artettina]

I think, paintingings with alot of elements are fun becuase you want to make a story out of it. Like you said to be a kid again.

[lovemejenx]

"your mama?"

lol

[deeroks1]

yay!! val!! u go and paint it!!

[pillowmurder]

isn't being rude online so easy?

[QueensWarrior]

YAWN!!! AM I BORED OR WHAT?

[sakurashino]

A very open painting on the side of the artist- a very enigmatic painting on the side of the ...consumer? For lack of a better word.

It's like taking a peek into your imagination. It's a very sweet painting, I think.

Just out of curiosity, did you attend art school?

[roscii]

I fookin lav Ya.

[quakerix]

jep, your crazy :P

[HYDR0G3Nthemonkey]

cute voice where are you from?

[jerseyd411]

I use that in creative writing a lot. It helps a lot when life is getting stressful and stuff. So did it feel pretty cool to just do what ever you wanted?

[butterflymush]

loved it! and yes you are crazy but artist have to be! ;)

[wchswill]

yea... i'm kinda new around these parts. I love your work and your video diary is extremely captivating.

I only have one question. Are you married?

[jennadobson03]

wow that was really cool =]

[MyMoOU]

ZOMG!!

Val best painting ever.

of history.

I do whatever i want.

[jacksragingjealousy]

i love the painting. probably the best one ever. love. <3

[rockermac5]

where are you from? you have an acent like my teacher Mr Pesik almost Check(ANOTHER spell check)

Mac

ps it muct suck having all these boys hitting on you all the time XP have a good one

[bushna2007]

Dear Val, If I threw an imaginary kiss to you, would you catch it?

[pool929]

Im glad you are trying something new. I guess that is what art is about. But I have to tell you I love when you discuss your paintings and what you had thought of when it is being done. However I'll continue to be here no matter what. Love your work.

[Prissie27]

I'm not scared either.. I was a little bored before. Now you make me really happy!! hehe

[Prissie27]

Good. I have been waiting for you to stop painting in symbols, and just paint what comes from inside of you without all that planning and talking.

Good luck, you're not crazy, you are coming yout of the box!! :-) Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the pic!!

[malkav1]

Wow ! That ended up being quite beautiful !

Good job ! =)

[kiralymeteorite]

" I do what ever I want" Newsflash really cracks me up.

btw Anyone see a little ballerina go by, most likely holding snacks.

[ogreenpimphato]

I love it! I cannot tell you how much I want to own this!!!!!!!

[UnificationNow]

love it!

[Dookie87a]

Excellent painting,good colord!

[fruitrag]

that is how my wife paints and she finds it very liberating. check her out if you have time - martinanehrling dot

[twosixfour]

I'm going to be honest, but hopefully not rude. This is the most interesting painting you've done in a while. Your other paintings are very nice looking, but can feel predictable (red for love, for example.) Like your Dolly and Youtube (the painting) painings, this shows the depth of your creativity. Anyway, didn't mean any disrespect, just like to see more paintings like this.

[akara013]

Val, I think it is SO awesome that you totally just let go and painted "the real you" without thinking ahead. It is a beatiful painting. I don't think you have anything to worry about; it seems that everything you touch turns into a work of art!

[ozwalled2007]

Enjoyed the video; I thought it interesting that you went in a stream-of-consciousness kind of direction. I've found that some of my favorite (not necessarily best) pieces I make start off as just sitting with a blank canvas and starting to PLAY and experiment.

Still, you talking about your paintings is always fun to listen to, and I hope that you don't continue to use "stream-of-consciousness" work as an excuse not to talk about them. Tell us what you liked about the end result, maybe. :)

[Amuia]

The painting, like you, is pretty, amusing, colorful and creative. You can also tell that even though your subconscious was taking over, your art skills were still there and blooming. Awesome job.

:-) 5/5

[artmemoirs]

Absolutely my favorite piece from you yet!

[BigDaddyJ2008]

Hey Val,

My friend cbmuzik told me about you.

I've watched your last few episodes and I've really enjoyed them all.

In this week's video you really did seem like you truely enjoyed painting the picture!

I look forward to seeing what you come up with next week!

Have a great week!

Jason :)

[lvsseasand]

Wonderful video Val....Good Luck to you on your new venture of "painting in the present"...I am a truly amateur painter compared to you...and my "process" of painting has always stemmed from the streaming subconscious mind...it is always interesting to see what I produce from that "space"..By the way, have you ever read Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now?" Truly inspiring! It really brings to light how artists can be "present" in their work...Namaste :)

[jbevier]

I would like to meet you -- you seem really cool and sweet. :-)

[iluvzevon]

your mamaa? loll. i love thesee diaries :)

your work is amazing, sweet on going hun!

[OctoberSaint]

You are just amazing!!!

[rebma1117]

That is absolutly beautiful Val..

[leedsninja]

I really love the way you are going sweet heart :)

I noticed the spiral :)

I like spirals

[samicxi]

what? but the title says there will be full nudity. I see u talking but i don't see u taking off ur clothes.

[gangreneday]

aim for my screen name next time. love your videos.

[PINVIDER]

Val, you want a cat!

your welcome CB

[fr3thinker]

Val, is this a string of consciousness paiting or a string of unconsciousness painting? Interesting to consider which it is? Which do you say it is?

[fr3thinker]

Stream or string - i think you said stream. Still I do wonder if the stream is from your consciousness, from your subconsciousness or from your unconsciousness. Anyway, I noticed in this painting of yours a touch of the "Alice in Wonderland" dream like state - so I'm thinking it's from your dream state and symbolism of such a magical world, a beautiful world. Anyway those were my thoughts/ feelings on it.

[EnergyBum]

hola val i need a beer

[theheathyfella]

Paint like a butterfly print like a bee.

[mwahnichollex33]

Oh...its perfect.

I love it. :]

[Leeinnz]

Wow Love it Val!

[ZachsMind]

That was like five paintings mushed into one canvas. That was awesome. Perhaps you should try that kinda stuff more often, Val. Don't worry about sometimes being minimalistic or sometimes being too convoluted. Just bring to each canvas what your instincts and artistry tell you to bring to it.

[kirr45]

The painting is as beautiful as the artist. Keep up the good work and don't let anything get in between you and your ideas. Even different styles. Success is all about experimentation and taking risks. You are a very talented person. (knock on wood)

[Nekology87]

best video so far!

[skilledrussiankid]

I think a stream-of-consciousness painting is a great idea. I've always wanted to do one buuuut...I can't paint :(

[puptentaclezappa]

I love your videos!

[manatarms79]

"Totally Exposed"?? I was expecting nudity!!

[uchiharyuuka34]

Wow....

[SchatTreasure]

Hi Val,

Most of the time I'm subconsciossly painting atleast when I subconsciossly paint, I get this wierd emotion when I paint, Probly the same thing like sitting at a psychiatrist and for some reason I don't like that feeling, but I do love painting.

love your painting! it has so many things in it.

[butterfly2729]

I love the butterfly at the end! ^_^

[Spendoo1]

I always see her paint something out, and i'm like,"oww that's nice". then she starts painting over it and it's like wait what are you doing. Then you see here bigger picture. I never appreciatted art until i watched her videos. I actually see the textures people always talk about.

[kwakzzang]

lovly painting!

[Keromor]

Excellent video, thanks

[MindUrTube]

You fascinate me. My first reaction to you was why is she painting over her own painting? Your stream of consciousness is both liberating and disturbing.

Why would you rather listen to someone sleep talking (wow that would be time consuming) rather than have him/her tell you about themselves?

You fascinate me. Probably why I subscribe.

[peterscottfrost]

Val, if you're crazy, I don't want to be sane! :D

[Haeinscute]

Wow, that painting is awesome, random and colorful, I love it. I like the picture that was black and white behind you too lol You know, if your videos were longer or if you combined your videos, I think this would make agreat tv show, instead of just a great youtube show lol

[abbyfromoz]

The best i have seen so far....very refreshing :)

[scobum]

another great show. Love the painting. :)

[BakaFM]

You looked like you had ALOT of fun!

[icecoldfirewriter]

Does this have something to do about cookies?

[ZombieX13]

Your mama, indeed, ma'am.

[florens89]

Hi Val!

First of all: I love your work! And you are so great. You always make me laugh... but I have a question... What happened to your special project? We never hear anything about it any more, and I am so curious haha

I'm looking forward to your next episode

Good luck!

[toriseddie]

Coming into work on a rainy Monday morning, I dread my day. Then I watch your videos, see your painting's come to life, and I am instantly rejuvinated. What is the wonderful music you play? Thank you for the constant inspirations and motivations! Stay beautiful!

[alchemik666]

Beautiful, and what`s more important, very interesting painting. I enjoyed watching every detail, it`s indeed a little like looking into someones mind.

[draw4u209]

i like it from a distance, i like from up close... jam packed with stories and dreams... i love you both...

[JasonMelancon]

I like it! The absence of your explicating narrative voiceover while panning over the details was quite striking. :)

[loftanab]

i love painting without planning, i always learn something new about myself

[marcwithacee]

Stream of consciousness writing can be very cathertic. There have been times where it felt like I had the world on my shoulders, and have received this huge sense of relief from just jotting down whatever was in my head for a few minutes.

[nE1canC1]

Wow! cool painting!

[fathammy]

The closeup at 1:46 really has my dirty mind going. It looks like the side of an open blouse especially with the pink edge along the white 'collar'.

An inviting heaving chest to kiss from there to the neck. Mmmmmmm..

[frankensteingirl]

This was fun! Yay for daring to do something different! :)

[MCGEE1115]

P.S.

I look forward to seeing you every Sunday.

To see your art. I wish you would hit me with your dart. I love the ballerina with the spinning legs

[Cookie606]

Val, it's beautiful.

[MCGEE1115]

I love when you narrate while you paint but I

can see were it could stifle your creativity.

I try to write but my pen or typewriter can't

keep up with my thoughts then I forget my

thoughts before I can capture them.

[SteelCityJuggalo]

Try a digital recorder or even just a plain old audio tape recorder.

[kingtobo]

I love stream of consciousness stuff. I always wonder what it means (maybe nothing) but either way it's interesting. I've really enjoyed your past work, but it's neat to see you exploring new styles too.

[chonnelly]

that cat thing at 2:56 looks high

[greensunshine13]

i really like this again

[benjierush]

Woo hoo, yeah baby. Take it all off!

[riceman1230]

This gave me an idea.

How about painting something and have your audience explain what they think it means.

No?...ok, sorry. I'll go back to eating cookies :(

[skullbullet]

LOVE this painting, Val! :D

[stevebornais]

I thought the painting was very good :)

[stevebornais]

I thought the painting was very good :-)

[iiiTEDiii]

You are crazy!

But I love it!

[bizzareodin]

fqewtqwefq

[audsartnsoul]

honestly-I absolutely love this painting!! good job on letting loose!! love it :)

[LoveIsTheMovement3]

I absolutely loved that painting. It reminds me of a painting we used to have when I lived in Texas. Brilliant.

:)

[xanadeux]

It's funny how similar it is to Olgakay's latest video. Not sure if you subscribe to her. You two are probably in cahoots.

[ibm6789]

it kinda reminds me of some if the pictures I have drawn (very busy, tons of things all going on at once) your dreams are probably pretty interesting.... lolz, you should keep on trying new things, they always turn out amazing :D

[cxa011500]

*_*

Crazy? Why would anyone think that...XP

[Jervns]

Wow, I'm late today, but I got here. You Tube said your video was unavailable for over an hour then I had to go out. I'm glad i didn't miss your exposed vlog. Happy Sunday!

[ayuTi09]

You are so not "insane". That painting was really awesome. I loved the colors you used. It's like what every little kid should have hanging in their room.

LOVE IT!!!!

[mousepad19882]

wow...to tell you the truth...I love this painting...the color scheme is very intresting!!!!! GREAT GREAT JOB VAL!!!! *thumbs up*

[RandomPoke]

i REALLY liked this painting! (:

[ZaneF]

if thats what flowed outta ur mind uncontrolled, wow. i heard ppl say that the craziest ppl make the best artists once they can harness their craziness on... what ever they choose. you on canvas, me on film, etc, so let this be a message to you and to anyone else... when sumone calls you crazy... take it as a compliment... look at holiwood today, its all crazy... cuz normal jus aint exciting enuff... and that is why, every sunday i log on to youtube and view... ValsArtDiary.

[beanandme]

Val,

my favorite painting of yours! also don't get down on yourself about the heart painting it's pretty cool it's just a different type of paining or art and thats what makes it unique and special. please continue to create crazy good cool art! Julia

[KristineBean]

i watch this eating a cookie and you know what........it made this video more enjoyable

[Kirstashandra]

My favorite favorite painting of all Val :) Because you can do ANYTHING Wooot. :D

Nice shirt by the way... I think I may have to go attack one of my shirts with paint right now. Hmmmmm yes...

[mashzmash]

that is truly magical!

[geragna]

that was one very interesting painting you go tthere Val.

I tihnk it's one of ym favorites.

=D

[bushna2007]

Hi Val. I think this painting opens up a window of yourself we've never seen. It's an exposition into your most private desires and thoughts, although I think you purposely left out some of the deeper and more potentially intriging depictions in order to camouflage your more hidden secrets and to maintain a G rated format. I really do like the painting, the honesty and the delivery of your charactorizations. By the way, the G stands for GREAT!!!

[SchnickTech]

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha

To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats

They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes

They're coming to take me away Ha Ha Ha

Just Kidding. Nice painting.

[ufomonkey]

ufomonkey was here

[kerner15]

I loved this idea and how it turned out, although i don't think i fully understood your subconscious from this painting! :D

[Rovermurphy]

There is something about this that reminds me of the movie Big Fish. It's one of my favorites flicks. It seems to have the same kind of environment and disregard for reality. Good one.

Rover.

[mikma]

mikma was here

[paladin939]

I like this one Val. I like seeing you try different ways to doing paintings. This one in particular has a nice feel to it. Very nice! You're so cute! I had to say that.

[vampier886311]

exactly! there are no rules no bounderies and no limits to painting! you paint with your heart and let the energy come from your soul! i dont care how hopelessy romantic it sounds but this is truth! just grab that brush and flow.. ^__^

[ChristineSanae]

WOW i like!!

[psycoticsinginchick]

Would I be crazy to say that this is your best painting ever?

[psycoticsinginchick]

I tried to click the link in the side bar for tips, but it doesn't work...:(

[valsartdiary]

Sorry about that... I fixed it!

[damb0713]

Great paint, a little crazy, but great!... Nice Butterfly!...

[sheluvsyou2]

That was amazing. So different. I loved it. =^.^=

[LVStud71]

One word: Whismical

[GarlicToast]

Ahhh I was just about to say that as well! Very whimsical, just like Val~!

[Bl4zz3r]

Always enjoy your diaries. Thanks.

[saturnknite]

i enjoy your random singing moments

[monkeysinacan]

Don't worry Val you're not that crazy

[h2odkl1]

Love your accent!

[Aggrosj]

Welcome to my world..

[graumwytheredux]

Like a true artist...you are never satisfied with perfection. xoxoxoxoxo (by 1:36)

SoC pwns. Except in literature..try reading kerouac. ugh...

In music it is called "jamming" oh sweet music.

Rorshach? Always say bunnies.

I'd rather listen to the sleep talk.

I love sleep talk. I was chatting with my friend last night; telling him I was dreaming...while dreaming!!

I love this painting. Absolutely.

I truly beleive you can do no wrong.

[sk8trgrl668]

lovely! It is kinda like something i would paint =)

[bennyhaha55]

Your videos hypnotize me! Funny thing is, I'm not even a fan of art! :D

[wildawake]

I think this is your best painting so far. Good job.

[wdciii]

Very exciting! You're a Gem! -Dennis

[matrixcmitech]

★ floating in that stream of creativity ★

[topcat4eva]

You Rock! ★★★★★

[Benj231983]

That's some imagination you have there! Your crazy beautiful personality shines on canvas! Thanks for sharing Val : )

[observationmode]

youtube pseudo pselebrity - artist extraordinaire ..... i always eat my cookies.

[PixieStickParade]

I love it, Val! All the excitement, and all the detail, were both truly fabulous. I just wish it were still possible to purchase prints of your work...

[SirChadwic]

Who is that, you're MOMMA? LMAO! That just tickled the hell out of me! And oh, yes, you are crazy! Thanks for the laugh!! Nice painting too! Wish I had the funds to buy, perhaps a print then.

[godfailme]

hahahaha

nice painting

[tavazea]

the painting! i loved it!

[OlderPete]

Totally exposed? Never, ever, drop the seventh vail. ;-)

Like your work. <3

[chapmando2007]

Think you are awesome Val

[Kinbarii]

wow pretty wild! I like it!

[showtimeian]

beautiful.....

[Amaya209]

Lol. You're so inspiring and awesome in like everyway possible. xD You're like an older sister! ^.^ Keep on painting! Btw, I loved your picture. It was spontaneous but lovely. Absolutely lovely.

[bogvisu]

Hi Val! As an artists you are probably influenced by your environment to a certain extent. Are you affected by the cold winter days there and does that affect your painting too? I can certainly see a certain Mediterranean influence in the painting. Enjoyed your show! You inspiring me to look for my Mother's old paint brushes that she once had when she was painting many years ago herself! Good job! Keep up the great work and to thine own self be true!

~Kevin

[n213978745]

Well~ the painting has many of dark area...

Although I don't get a close look at it.

But I believe in your early childhood, you have one person that you are scared of him or respect to him.

Bad childhood~~m...

Just guess

Please don't kill me if I am wrong.... ha ha

[FlyersFan17]

I loveeeeeeeee you. You're so cute.

[ryanthedesigner]

I think every artist is a little "crazy/insane" otherwise art would be boring! I like the painting, it's really fun and visually interesting!

[bornbillsmith]

When I saw the title of this video "Totally Exposed", I thought or hoped you would get naked.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out you were exposing your subconscious.

To tell you the truth I don't even think you exposed that as well.

I know nothing more about you then I did before.

I don't think you're crazy.

I do think you're cute.

Are you always this cute.

[bellatrixatheart]

I love your vidoes! Great job on the painting!

[Presssaeckchen]

There is a lot to see on that canvas, I guess thats the same how the thoughts come up to your mind and probably cross each other before you can express them.

This is also something whats known by myself :)

Sometimes a lil bit confused and people don't know what what your meaning.

Its a great picture, something out of the line - keep up the great work :D
