Oil Portrait Painting "My VIP" by Artist NORA KASTEN


"My VIP"
© NORA KASTEN 2010
Oil painting on linen   (40 x 30 inches)

"This portrait of my husband, Karl, was  done over ten years ago and I'm posting it today at the request of Susan Roux.  I don't have another painting to post today so this is the day for "My VIP".   This is a bad photo of the painting but it's large, hanging in a large heavy ornate frame and I need help to take it down and bring it into my photography space to get a better shot. . . .  someday I will do that."

"I've been taking photos of my small studio, writing a  list of  the layout,  lighting,  easel,  etc.  and plan to present a good article to you soon.

A very good painting, i can see it a lot of love in your head and in your hand to paint it.
A gorgeous work with the dark colors, because it's always difficult to realise that.
Best regards.
Susan was right, you had to show this lovely painting.

Oh you posted it! Thank you. I do agree, this photo is not the best representation. The darks overpower it, but at the same time it gives it a rich velvety look... (sexy and important come through)

I'm looking forward to your hints on dealing with a small studio.
