Painting In Progress by Artist NORA KASTEN

Continued Painting #1118 on gallery wrapped canvas  (36"x 48"x 1.5")

"I painted twelve hours yesterday and should have stopped at eight.  After dinner last night I came back to the studio and used turps to wipe out a lot of the bouquet and upper left.  The roses need to be smaller, lighter and much more air between them.  I'm thinking it needs a dark background and keep everything lighter in the foreground.  My eyes are getting examined this morning and I hope the drops won't keep me from painting this afternoon."

"The photo below is the painting before dinner last night."
