"On The Upper Porch"
© Nora Kasten
Oil painting on lead oil primed linen (22"x18") August, 1993
"This is an old painting I didn't feel was "worthy" but had taken it off of the stretcher bars and saved. Since, I'm in this clearing out mode I'm disposing of a lot of things including old paintings. There were several old painted canvases under the bed that I had forgotten were there and I threw away all but three of them. I'm glad that I kept this one for whatever reason because I had primed this canvas starting with the raw linen, using rabbit glue and oil primer. The support looks like it is a good 1/8" thick. I notice my signature is from a time when I was testing how I wanted to sign my paintings. Yesterday, I used Elmer's glue to affix the canvas to 1/2" gator board since I've been disappointed with the results lately using Miracle Muck. By the way this painting "On The Upper Porch" is #91.

Il est parfois bon de renouer avec nos anciennes toiles... cela peut permettre de faire un bilan ...
Bisous
There's an impressionist look to the background. It's interesting to see where you evolved from. Even your signature has changed. I think you've come a long way baby and your direction has been forward and a good one. Looking back can be a positive one. Thanks for sharing.
It would really have been a pity to throw this one away, there is such a lovely feeling to it, like " once upon a time". Beautiful, beautiful.
This painting has a comfortable look. Feels like I took my shoes off when I see this.
I wouldn't throw too much away Nora! As Susan said, it's interesting to see where you evolved from. Looking back can be a
positive for yourself, and us,the viewers.
