"Nora" Oil Painting by NORA KASTEN

"Nora"

Oil painting on linen on board  (20"x 16")  March 11, 2011


"Here is today's painting effort.  My personal model is always available.
I used all regular oil paints except for the Titanium White and that was an alkyd.  I believe you can recognize me in the painting but it's not the best likeness I've ever achieved.  It's cold here in Naples today and the scarf actually felt pretty good. . . .  . those dangling earrings are new."

    Lovely job on you self-portrait, Nora. I think they are fun to do. Actually one of the first portraits I did was of myself and it came out really good and inspired me. Glad you are painting, and so beautifully at that.
