I always enjoyed painting without any visual subject constraints. That process I find most pleasing; when things take form and resonate with me what the dynamic of the piece reverberates in its essences. Yes, it begins to become more difficult for the details to transpire. When it does the results are very rewarding and the process; therapeutic.🧑‍🎨♾️🗝️❤️⭐️

Well said! Thanks so much for sharing that!

Have watched Betty for awhile now, and I think this is the first time I've watched her do a 'purpose' (field of flowers) piece. All the others are classic abstract pieces, where she seems to be flying by the seat of her pants, and produces what is going to be whatever it finishes as, which is always a great finished product. This type of art, (purposeless abstract) doubles as a beneficial physical activity also- Betty is active, make no mistake about it.

At 23:20, you painted the 4 and a half orange oblong marks yellow. Then at 27:10 you made them green. Right up to the moment they became green, they looked like Banksias in full bloom. Banksia’s are native Australian flora. They come in many colours but the colours orange and yellow are quite common in Western Australia around Perth. Now you can add some bits of Australia to your fields of flowers.

I usually do smaller ones on my table but it doesn't fit the bit larger ones. I love your style of painting, haven't got the hang of it just yet shall keep at it. I'm retired so no pressure, just enjoying myself and filling lots of empty walls in my house.

@@BettyFranksArt Glass panels make the best palettes, imo. Paint spread and mix-ability is about the same as plastic, but stay in place better. Far superior when knife-painting, too. (Btw, where IS your knife?) Wipes up easy if paint is wet, if dry just re-wet, wait a minute, then go at it with a razor made for scraping paint off windows. If it's REALLY caked, soak it in some vinegar water. Impatient painters such as yourself :) should have several on hand at all times! Added bonus to clean glass for beginners is that you can paint it, then hold it over your WIP to check which color(s) should be here, or maybe there.
