NORA KASTEN Artist Oil Paintings "Macy"


"From the e-mails and comments that I've received about the last post, I can tell that I misled you.  I'm not painting over an old painting! . . .  . those paintings are like my own babies to me.  Here you can see the one I started the other day with the face and background wiped out along with the original painting done many years ago.

The cold going around finally caught me so I've been laying low for a couple of days, soaking up some sunshine and reading art books."

She is adorable, Nora. Hope you are feeling much better.

NORA KASTEN said...

Thank you, Carol. You were certainly right about that "ah ha" moment and not more than an hour ago, I was telling a new friend about what you had said. I wish I could say everything is well now but I'm thankful to be over the first big hurdle and at least inching forward.

And as these pass, others will to. Take care.

Gilberto, You always give me inspiration and I can't thank you enough.

I really like where this is going Nora. I like the depth you captured in the pinafore. Even her wiped out face looks remarkably like her. She's a doll!

I hope your feeling better Nora. Interesting that you are painting a painting you've done before. Are you going for exactness? Or something different? I see the sizes are different.

a fοrtune oѵer the yeагs is" how do I get more miles for my money? 50x17 radial mounted on a cast alloy double spoke wheel up front and then the brake drum, so to speak, he's not angling to make $50.
