Best holiday gift

[csfest]

Hey, the painting only had 5 panels. I thought it was 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon. (Love your videos Val)

[coronapounder]

maybe u should show more cleavage like marina from hot for words and u will defenetly get more reviews than her because u are way prettier.. :P

[CherryLooOH]

@coronapounder Marina is a milf

[jonathan221984]

...that girl in the video is SMOKING HOT!

[WTFuckRemix]

We all have dead flowers in our life, and if we dont cut them,

Everyone around us will be sad

because the dead flower is still in your face.

[WTFuckRemix]

lol! you love Kevin Bacon!

Kevin Bacon loves Bacon. lol

We love kevin Bacon too.

Did you paint those flowers? They are georgeous.

Im a girl btw.

[streamlinedman]

Val, the close-ups of the paint detail look fantastic in HD. And you look gorgeous in HD as well :-)

[Ebutuoy1900]

she's so unique.

[thepianolover4ever]

i love your art. but i thik your sound is messed up. the sound does not match your lips. why is that?

[msityhorse2001]

Aside from what we all know (your art is awesome) I really enjoy listening to your commentary on what they symbolize. "I'm Val and I am amazing: that's not an old bottle filled with reaching flowers with evil black smoke floating around the floor...that's how we make the world brighter by giving gifts." Wow.

[crazydaddy73]

VAL.....WILL YOU MARRY ME ? ; ) LOL x

[crazydaddy73]

VAL.......WILL YOU MARRT ME ? ; )

[ThatEmoKidRock]

yer amazing.

[MrNanny]

Very nice

[clow2ground]

Val,

You eat as many sweets as I do. The dentist must love you. They like me a bit.

[ghosttroop]

Kevin Bacon is cool, Val. Maybe he dreams about you. :)

[xkiddx13]

some have said I resemble Kevin Bacon, dont know if that is a good or bad thing.

[CartmanLandZ]

[silverponylover999]

ending scared me because my sound was up high :P love your art love your look love ur aceant but i cant understand it *embaressed* dont take it personlly i cant understand half of the accencts i know @.@

[oneandonlybluefish]

you have a bacon number of one!

[puppylover0830]

wow, that is what you call random... haha nice painting tho Val!! :)

[trumpmech]

I like the old music (at the end) better than the music after the intro, but I suppose it's always good to try out new things. :)

[violinchick89]

Your painting is really pretty!

[dancefrk079]

i cant catch what she says about 6 conections away from something. can somebody help me??

[7seveng7]

Do you ever dream about me?

[p0cketm0nkey]

Beautiful painting yet again Val. Wish I could paint like that... or at all. I can do finger painting.. but that's it! haha. Anyhow, keep up the good work! And enjoy your cupcake! :)

[lara162]

Hahaha you were kinda confusing this episode XD

I love ur paintings :o

[Wettaco13]

I love Kevin Bacon! Also great painting.

[TeMerc]

Your face is so expressive, I love this the most about your vids....no wait, I love your accent the most, yeah.....no, errrr....wait, it's the beauty! Yeaaaa....You're a doll, keep up the great work

[MegaMuffin4568]

i love this painting! its very symbolic and i feel its like nothing you've really done before. its more real and concrete. i love it!

[christopherbankston]

Beautiful painting and so appropriate for the time of year. Happy Holidays Val. :)

[lukos1001]

Mmmm... cupcake... I really liked the painting too

[TheNewYorkTony]

[KMMPlanet]

Your really awesome anyways cya

[kholoodfantasy2006]

Love the painting alot ^^

you really have ideas that inspire people

keep it up dear @_@

There is still little problem with the sound in the HD version =_= I am not sure if it just me, but happy to watch you in the HD it make the paitnings poping out @w@

[bille2588]

Love your videos and paintings, I will send your Christmas gift next week.

[TamburiiniMato]

While I'm watching your hd videos, the start is smooth, but then the sound and video starts to go weird and it is unwatchaple...

[ACTORDAVIDTRAN]

I like how you have the vase in the background with the flowers in it.

Ooh! Ooh! Red Velvet Cupcakes! YUM! If you ever visit LA, I wanna buy you one at this cupcake shop called Sprinkles. Really expensive like $25 for a dozen, but the cream cheese frosting on top compliments it soo well.

[FXrobot]

Tremors with the mutant worms was my favorite Kevin Bacon movie. Love the painting, big contrast to the last painting with all the happening colors.

[fireman3955]

your work and your videos are wonderful. I watch them all, and enjoy just as many.

[Vatsek]

What is going on with that bad HD audio? Can't watch!

[IndianRecipes]

Hi Val, Love to view ur videos...and now in HD ...its damn great... the paint and textures are just driving me crazy... looks like i m there while u were painting... great work

[ZachsMind]

Here's an ideal time to test that six degrees thing. Hopefully someone who watches Val's videos knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows Kevin Bacon, and can get a message to Kevin Bacon that Val is dreaming about him so maybe Kevin will make an appearance on Val's show. That'd be cool. Or at least Kevin Bacon could make a video and have it posted to YouTube saying he heard about Val dreaming about him and he could say something nice about that. It'd make Val's day, I'm sure.

[b1a2n3k]

Thanks for the video...yummy. Red velvet :) Do they offer banana creme with roasted coconut shavings? :d

[melohwa]

Would you consider doing perhaps a seperate channel on "how to paint" and give more details to the process of your paintings? I would love to see exactly how you process the thoughts you have for a painting into the final product.

[1happiness]

Except for the glitch from the middle of this video the paintings displayed still looks great in HD and the delicious cupcake.

[valsartdiary]

i want to make banana bread... mmmm

[valsartdiary]

does anybody know of a good and compact bread maker?

[adrianayaccofani]

I don't know if this one is compact enough but I use "Breadman" and it is very good. I even make pizza dough with it.

Thank you for the video, it was great. I hope you got my email, I had my first art festival yesterday! thanks

Adriana

[trafficdreamer]

Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker features Compact and slim design, Three bread textures, Cookie/Pasta Dough setting, Quick Baking, 13 Hour delay timer, ...*wink

[jcpatrick71]

[rebcadie]

I looove the painting. Thank you for making my sundays a little happier.

[Machinat1on]

True story. I went to an 80s party just yesterday and they were playing Footloose.

[MrCaltec]

Classic Val, nice show.

[Nasiar99]

I was wondering what to do with all my pesky volcanic minerals. Thanks Val!

[Jedum]

I'm sorry but this isn't working very well for me...I don't if it's my connection or what, but I really wanted to see this video...:/

[valsartdiary]

ahh the mistakes! Just fix a glitch on my web- "buy this painting" used to take you to an old painting page not longer for sale lol

Problem solved now!

[carpenter420]

What kind of camera are you using to take pictures of your paintings with?

[valsartdiary]

canon REBEL

[junior759]

[valsartdiary]

[jodykwik]

[Myklebust]

Sweet video.

Would like to see a couple of more frames with the finished painting in your videos.

[theBoynamedMatt]

Man that cupcake looks good in HD

[theBoynamedMatt]

How dare you tease me with cupcakes! I'm a master of 6 degrees of kevin bacon btw. now i'm gonna watch it in HD

[warrenayoung]

I really like this painting. The HD brings out the texture of the paint on the canvas.

Excellent job Val- thank you.

[gottagobideo]

Wow, You look superhot in this video. You look very sexy.

[robmajor105]

Val, why is it that we cannot send e-mails to your e-mail address as posted? I have tried several times to e-mail you and my e-mails come right back to me as being undeliverable.

Why doesn't Vals Art Diary, where you are selling your artwork have a phone number? According to the address, it is nothing more than a UPS shipping store. Que pasa?

Please contact me. Thank you.

[jessi330]

She does it all by herself. No store or anything.

[valsartdiary]

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please try valsartdiary@me(dotcom)

[specail711]

Hey Val :)

Beautiful painting & Keep up good works ^_^

[Kindredy]

That's not a cupcake, it's a MugCake! Really nice painting this week. This one was a good one for quite some time. Perhaps your new place is a positive influence! Good composition, and theme. 6 degrees, and pay it forward. wish there were 6 panels though :P. Don't forget Val's lottery!

[chrisw40]

Kevin Bacon is dead broke he lives in my spare bedroom with his wife.

[chrisw40]

Artistic Hottie

[captainpegs07]

ok,  that was a pretty good vid. I'll keep watching . . . but i'll be wary . . .

[valsartdiary]

hahha

[captainpegs07]

Oprah?!! ok, that's it. I don't think I can watch your vids anymore . . .

[captainpegs07]

you dream about kevin bacon? (rolls good eye)

[lmm85]

Kevin bacon has been in some scary movies. :P It's good for him to finally be in a good place, one of your dreams.

[iluvjoejonasmorthanu]

Val~

I love you so much! This week's painting was lovely! Keep painting!

~Lexi ♥

P.S. I watched in HD :)

P.P.S. or P.S.S. (whichever it is) How do you get the close up shots?

[ZombieX13]

Gets terribly out of sync half way through in HD.

[KennethRMullins]

Val..You are my most favorite artist/person on here..I could watch you all day and night..I have watched every video and many times over...You are very BEAUTIFUL....Ray

[tetekofa]

nice--'its nice.

[agentacey]

Lovely, but both last week and this week when I watch your videos in HD the sound gets ahead of the video...looks like maybe I'm the only one experiencing this though...

[Budhipal]

I love to watch you work. You and your paintings inspire me to pick up my brushes again. True, I only discovered you last week (arriving late to the party - again),but you have reawakened me to life, love, art, and creative self expression. Thanks. Great work, please keep it up. I very much appreciate your efforts.

[CyberPirate83]

Wow....good flowers!!!

Great painting!

[culwin]

Kevin Bacon -> Val -> me!

[davidecau73]

tu sei la più bella canzone d'amore dolce come i tuoi quadri .

[pfizzbones]

I think your painting is kind of like the economy and the spirit of the country. Some will fail, and then the brightest and best from the storm, will blossom and branch out to create more...just like flowers do. Great painting Val. Cheers!

[digupmyheart]

Absolutely love this painting!

[carmadillotanzen]

Lovely video, Vall! :) Great painting too! I love hearing the story behind your art, it makes me feel like a kid at storytime.

[mikemx32]

Hey Val, that is a beautiful painting. I wish I could afford one of your paintings. Have a happy holiday.  ;-))

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

Someone make this woman a logo! She's already explained what she would have in it. XD

[valerinaj]

hey val!

did you know that a measure of happiness in the study of economics is "utility"?

why don't they use "flower"? utility sounds so... uncelebratory.

[SeanyToon]

I'd love a gift from you :D!

Brilliant paintings once again. They way you have set these out reminds me of Cy Twombly's Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter.

[cherryberry2]

Beautiful artwork

[saturnknite]

i hope you have a good december Val, my mom had a heart attack and my room flooded

[xbluexastrayx]

at the onset of the video, i felt like that last person who received the blank scene without a flower was getting the short end of the stick, but when you begin to see how there's still enough light by being close to the flowers, it gives you that sense of attraction to the other canvases, almost like without it, the panorama would be incomplete. So in that way, the most important piece is the final one..kudos and cuppycakes val!

[apb148]

I love the little tune at the end.

[falcore19]

Because johnny deep doesnt exist. Johnny Depp on the other hand...

[robbybobbybobirwin]

kevin bacon loves you!!!

[1JustBreathe]

Kevin Bacon is so creepy imo

[geroldkid]

Your best painting yet. Great job on the colors.

[SHouldVeganWiccan]

Great work Val, one of your best work so far! The only thing I think is missing is....the Art Lottery!!!!!!! When are you going to do a new one?

[Shotosboring1stpick]

No, well I understood the oprah thing the 2nd time. Oprah is santa(satan), ahaha, jk. Anyway, love the hair, love it when girls have their hair there, woohahaha.

[mak3myda3]

no lottery? =[

[GhettoliciousFood]

Hey ! I love your paintings :)

[OrphanPaper]

have a good xmass val. ,,, love the top ,,

[Stuka87]

I really like this painting. Would go really nicely in a day room or something with warm colors in it.

PS: Do you plan on coming to any YouTube meet ups?

PSS: I got engaged! Video of it is on my channel. Its worth the watch :)

[lloydhofer]

Happy Sunday Val,

Degrees of separation. You take a simple concept and dress it all up with a totally inspired concept of happiness units of flowers. I love it, the hippieVal in you oozing out again, ha ha. Wonderful transitions between canvasses without any excess clutter. Your art is exceptional everytime but this picture really speaks to me.

Generously spreading happiness is one of the best goals in life that we can have as individuals.

Peace, hugs and flowery love, Lloyd

[Mobalized]

anyone know where her accent is from?

[rhythm7a]

Wow, I really like the colors you used for this... it's beautiful!

I gave my sister a can of rocks for Christmas once. Well, not actually. It was to disguise the real present because she's really good at guessing presents.

[valsartdiary]

Thanks J!

haha... I see ur a creative when it comes to hiding x-mas presents :P

[jayleeds2006]

6 degrees of separation....but why only 5 canvases? ...why not 6?

[DogbiteOW]

Boy does that cupcake look GOOD! I'm off to the bakery :P

[valsartdiary]

mmmmmmm.... cupcake

[DogbiteOW]

Actually went out bought a half dozen cupcakes. The HD really brings out the details in the frosting :P

[blankz121]

ahh this blows:(  i wish i could paint.

i really really liked this one val.

[falcore19]

Kevin Bacon? Why not Christian Slater?

[MindfulCorvus]

That has to be one of my favorite paintings you have done so far. Great Job!

[mattW1138]

Sometimes I dream of the Mr. Moviefone guy... Awful right? Can't figure that out...

Awsome as usual miss Val!

Peace

[Jervns]

You just keep getting better. I love this painting! :D

[TimeGem]

Val you always make my day so much more brighter, awesome vid! 5 stars!
