There is a video in my playlist that is called "ILLUMINAZI". Look for it there. This video exposes those who orchestrated the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. Please take the time to watch this video because it's very important; and spread it to as many people as possible.
There are alot of other good videos in my playlist and favorites that you can watch. Please help spread the truth about what happened on September 11, 2001 to others.
hmm.. I dont know what relaxes me that could fit in my hand, but horseback riding, it makes me feel so good, when you can feel the wind hitting your face and the speed as you leave all your wories behind you and the haorse's hooves beating on the ground below you I feel more free then ever, its beautiful :) anyway very nice painting i love the texture of her hair and the incomplete circles are cool too :)
I've watched a few of your videos and truly enjoyed them. You look so natural and relaxed in each one that it surprises me that you feel stressed, but I guess we all do at times. When I'm feeling stressed I go target shooting. It keeps my mind focused on the target or whatever it is that I'm aiming at. I'm sure you've been told many times how pretty you are. Love your exotic accent; can't quite make it out. I'm sending a gentle touch to your lips.
I wish I could post a vid response, but no vid camera! Anyway, what makes me relax is giving massages. I am a massage therpist and sometimes if the massage is a relaxation massage, I get just as much benefit as my client. But, a glass of wine helps when I need to really wind down. Just A glass...more than that and it turns into something other than relaxation. I just love your show!! Keep up the awesome work!
HmMm, What relaxes me is doing crafts. I like making bead necklaces/bracelettes, bags, and various other little crafts! I made a really cool bag recently out of a tshirt I bought at Value Village =) It was an indian embroidered shirt of an elephant. Came out really pretty!

Ive actually never painted always wanted to but for whatever reason never did I am a sketch artist i love to do charactures but I definatly can appreciate a good abstract painting.
I was a non stop artist back in high school i stopped for the longest while like 5to 6 years until i started watching your videos and you inspired me to do it again now i remember why i loved it so much. although im not quite as talented as you.still forever gratefull
Ya.. same thing here. I used to be very good in high school. And than I got all these oil paints, which ae gorgeous to work with but very time consuming. Anyways my "problem" was that I'd start of with something very realistic and than slowly add more abstract, captivating colors and shapes to my work. Thanks to you I feel more comforatble with my style, and I feel more inspired to finally finish my paintings that I started don't wanna say how long ago.. :>> Yay, art's fun!!
I used to fight imaginary people as a kid...that was pretty liberating. Then again, I guess everybody has. Now I'd only do that if there was no-one within 10 miles of me.
Now I fight virtual people online to relax, that works pretty well.
I just love love your videos. I too don't have an attention span for videos on the internet...but your videos are great and I can't stop watching them. haha. You are too cute. I totally see you having your own show! Great work!
You are brilliant! I have no attention span for many things...especially videos on the internet, but you keep me entertained as well as inspired! I'm an artist who, I think, needs lots of practice... I love your work. Your production skills are great as well! You are awesome!
This was my favorite painting of yours thusfar! i was too late on the auction, but i loved the content, colors, and focus of this creation of yours! Great one!
I am absolutely hooked onto your videos- i'm only 17 - but i assure you, i'm an upcoming artist :) - my next artwork is on malnourished children or the 3rd world country, i may do this in impasto ?.. Anyway, keep up the good work, ps. how can i buy your paintings? do u have another job?
Val was committed to a undisclosed California mental facility this week! But worry not, word is that she will "imagine" herself to be a mouse and will be escaping just in time to paint us our usual Sunday morning Masterpiece*-*
I really look forward to your videos. It would be cool if maybe you took your camera beyond your studio sometime. Your intro shows you in a park, and in this video you talk about a park... so maybe you should do some filming in a park??
As for what relaxes me... that's easy... talking to a good friend. Please keep up the great work!
i like to relax by going to restaurants that have butch drawing paper on the table tops with a box of crayons close at hand... a glass of wine, a good meal, and a blue crayon makes for a relaxing time for me... :)
Hmm...interasting videos. I have no idea what i'm even doing here. I donno anythgin about art. But the vids are still interasting. Allways wandered what goes through peoples heads when they draw stuff like this.
Val, I was so happy to log on today and see a new video;a new painting and story! You really should have a television show! Young and old alike would enjoy watching you paint and hear your stories...you have a rare and beautiful talent that should be shared with the world. I'm certain that the girl in this painting is holding a paintbrush! :-}
it's the tiny things that seem to relax me. the indescribable moments when the sun creates shadows that dance just the right way. the genuine smile from a person on the street who is present. silly things. deep things. hahaha lots of things. anyhow...like i said they're indescribable. thank you for being you. your videos are a stress relief for me. they bring a smile to my face and remind me of "the indescribable" :) have an amazing day! =D
Love this video!! One thing that relaxes me is singing very loudly off key in my car... it's a stress reliever, plus if you try it... you'll probably end up laughing at yourself. lol.
Hi Val. Love your videos! My art is photography and digital imaging. For me, the most relaxing thing comes the fulfillment and inner peace obtained by creating a satisfying composition; one that expresses my inner vision. You may have the same experience when you complete a painting. You are an inspiration by your boldness. Plunging head-first into creating that personal vision, not being afraid to fail, is a requisite for any art that matters.
In order for me to de-stress, I have to forget about my stress. I need to do something fun, hang out with friends, watch a movie, take a walk, clear my head, but let other, better things into it as well.
Stress always seems to come back afterwards though! Hehehehe
I get relaxed by playing with my little son or with friends of him, so I become one of them and forget my life for a while. It's very relaxing and afterwards all problems seem much less important
I'm really relaxed if I look at your video's it gives me a relaxing feeling nd i also love the way you r in ur video's nd ofcourse i love your paintings!!!

Bowman was Director of Advanced Space Programs Development for the U.S. Air Force in the Ford and Carter administrations, and is a former United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 101 combat missions. He holds a Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from the California Institute of Technology. When a guy with these credentials says 9/11 was an inside job and that the Bush Administration is guilty of TREASON, listen to him!
Well other than watching your videos. I love to play the sax. It is my brush smooth jazz is my paint and the audience is my canvas. I love to see the wonderfully different expressions on there faces when I leave everything I am on the stage.
hey, val. i was wondering about your creative process and how you come up with ideas for painting. i'm a writer and sometimes i am inspired by art and photographs...i wondered if, for you, it could work in reverse...meaning, what if i sent you some poety and you could paint something if it inspired you? just an experiment. let me know.
Good video!! I would say something to relax is either 2 options. The first option is reading books *not a fond of books alot but fanfiction and listening to music off my winamp. The second part of relaxation for me is either grab a can of Pepsi and play my video games. Final Fantasy is my favorite and it's a role playing genre if you don't know what it is lol :). I hope that helps.
Val; My comment was supposed to be a joke; to get you to laugh at what a dope I must be to say something like that!! I enjoy your voice as much as your paintings.
val, you have unique prospective on the start to finish of your pieces,you seem to feel the paintg and let the bbrush do the rest. Ever consider you show having classes at the samtime so that people may try it too.. I havent panted in awhile and need to when i get bored with all the rest of it. Let me know if this interests you. Any any rate I really enjoy your show. congrats on that tooo.
your presentation is excellent. what a great idea. you prsent your art and really show a piece of yourself. I learn alittle about myself when I watched them. they are funny, cute and you are doing wonders for expression through the arts. keep it up. your amazing.I have to go eat my cookie. mine's guitar.I'm not that good but I love it. you an inspiration :-)
Grats on becoming Miss Youtube, you are very pretty :D
About stress relief... For me it is all about self control, if I am stressed and I want to cool down I just stop, breath, think. If you concentrate on cooling down, it will work. If you are going to do that tree beating/yelling in the park technic again, record it of vid :D It would be sooooo funny if you post it here! :)
this may sound completely backwards, but when i want to relax i spend time with my friend who makes me laugh. i always feellike letting out a long sigh after laughing. its amazing how well you can breathe and how clear your head is when you're happy. i enjoy watching your diary. thanks again
Hey Val, Have you ever done a painting from your soul without looking at it while you create it? I mean a painting from scratch with your eyes closed or you blindfolded the whole time? Just wondering what you would get or if you ever tried it?
Come to think of it i don't think i ever consciously relax, its like i mindlessly fritter away my time until i have to sleep, which i'm gonna go do now whilst thinking about all of this. -smiles and kisses,
What really has done it for me is the closing song from the Movie "Life Of Brian" by Monty Python. As zany and blasphemous as that movie is, it is a very wise and beautiful movie too!!
When I want to wind down from a long/bad day, I listen to Ingrid Michaelson while laying down; with my eyes closed. :D hehe your videos are also relaxing for me, and very entertaining! I love your paintings! keep doing what you do!
watching new videos on youtube, reading, watching tv, playing video games, or thinking about story plots to write about are the things I do to relax. Thanks for asking ^_^
My source of relaxation at the moment would have to be... reading japanese comics, otherwise known as manga. I get sucked in the story and become the characters.. It's really interesting (and addicting, but i won't get into those details) If I draw to relax.. Weelllll.... That won't work. If I'm relaxed, then I can draw xD Sometimes I work well under pressure.. I dont get so lazy. But lately nothing can get me to work O.o hah. I need a psychiatrist. Anyone, help? My grades are dropping. :x
You're the one Director on youtube I see doesn't get mean comments from other people here (at least not so many of them to be noticed) ^_^ And your vids are awesome...
Howdid you learn how to paint??? did you go to school for art??? I am thinking about painting and I was wonering if you have any hints or tips for someone who's just starting out. Do you use oils or acrilic paint?? Thanks ~Anna
Val another great video. What helps me release stress is watching your witty, funny, down to earth artistic videos and your cute too and I love the ending at you videos "EAT YOUR COOKIES" That is your video hook and signature. :)
I would have loved to have seen a video of you in the park. I don't have any one technique for relaxing. I might go take photos down by the river, I might do some writing, and well, yeah there's other things too hehe. What do you do? Other than painting and berating trees? Wonderful video as always. Tip of the week: "Don't let an artist cut your hair". I can just picture you. I bet you were a handful when you were younger. Even now probably haha.
hmmm from analyzing the geometry of her grip- whatever she's holding must be kind of small and thin. I guess it could be a pebble or a shell she found on the beach but I'm not sure... have to think :)
ha... the most relaxing thing I can think of is sitting on the beach and just thinking. If you go in the morning when no ones around there are flocks of seagulls spaced at intervals along the beach. You can sit next to one and get them to displace and sit around you by feeding them. Then you are surrounded by seagulls sitting and resting. It's almost like you're part of the flock.
When my Daddy got sick 3 years ago with cancer, I gave him my favorite Teddy Bear to help him through the rough spots. After he passed, my step mom gave me the bear and told me, "Your Father slept with this bear, and he wanted me to tell you he filled this bear with his love for you." Now of course that bear is too big to hold in my hand like that, but when I feel stressed I like to have that bear near me, as a way of being surrounded with my Daddy's love and caring.
Once again! Even after 10 minuits U-tube tricks me into thinking my 1st commit evaperated into outter space! GRRRRRRRRRR!!! Any way, what's the prize if I'm right?

Hey Val, Have you ever done a painting from your soul without looking at it while you create it? I mean a painting from scratch with your eyes closed or you blindfolded the whole time? Just wondering what you would get or if you ever tried it?

What really has done it for me is the closing song from the Movie "Life Of Brian" by Monty Python. As zany and blasphemous as that movie is, it is a very wise and beautiful movie too!!

My source of relaxation at the moment would have to be... reading japanese comics, otherwise known as manga. I get sucked in the story and become the characters.. It's really interesting (and addicting, but i won't get into those details) If I draw to relax.. Weelllll.... That won't work. If I'm relaxed, then I can draw xD Sometimes I work well under pressure.. I dont get so lazy. But lately nothing can get me to work O.o hah. I need a psychiatrist. Anyone, help? My grades are dropping. :x

Val another great video. What helps me release stress is watching your witty, funny, down to earth artistic videos and your cute too and I love the ending at you videos "EAT YOUR COOKIES" That is your video hook and signature. :)

I would have loved to have seen a video of you in the park. I don't have any one technique for relaxing. I might go take photos down by the river, I might do some writing, and well, yeah there's other things too hehe. What do you do? Other than painting and berating trees? Wonderful video as always. Tip of the week: "Don't let an artist cut your hair". I can just picture you. I bet you were a handful when you were younger. Even now probably haha.

hmmm from analyzing the geometry of her grip- whatever she's holding must be kind of small and thin. I guess it could be a pebble or a shell she found on the beach but I'm not sure... have to think :)
AmateurAstronaut 5 years ago
that could be it ;)
How about you? what do u do t chill?
valsartdiary 5 years ago
ha... the most relaxing thing I can think of is sitting on the beach and just thinking. If you go in the morning when no ones around there are flocks of seagulls spaced at intervals along the beach. You can sit next to one and get them to displace and sit around you by feeding them. Then you are surrounded by seagulls sitting and resting. It's almost like you're part of the flock.

When my Daddy got sick 3 years ago with cancer, I gave him my favorite Teddy Bear to help him through the rough spots. After he passed, my step mom gave me the bear and told me, "Your Father slept with this bear, and he wanted me to tell you he filled this bear with his love for you." Now of course that bear is too big to hold in my hand like that, but when I feel stressed I like to have that bear near me, as a way of being surrounded with my Daddy's love and caring.
