Oil Painting "Roses & Gold Band" by Artist NORA KASTEN, Naples, Florida

"Roses & Gold Band"
© NORA KASTEN 2010
Oil painting on textured linen   (12 x 16 inches)

"Yesterday morning when I came back to this painting, the background was in beautiful grays.   . .  then I reverted back to deep rich color.  Today I'm asking myself why it is that I can't seem to keep a painting in the gray format.  I like this painting but it isn't what I was striving for."

  1. I tell you, Nora is master of color. I’m sure it will be god in gray to. I am now working a grisaille of a seating figure and tented to let be … perhaps a touch of carmine on those flesh parts… you see, is not only you on that predicament. Anyway the painting will be reserved for Expressions 2010 in May a juried show at our city from The Quinte Arts Cancel.
