"Orange" Oil Painting by Artist, NORA KASTEN


"Orange"
© Nora Kasten
Oil painting on oil primed linen on board  (36"x24")  April 23, 2011

"This is my first large painting using totally the palette knife for the oil color application.  Although I've used the alkyd oil paints in the past, "Orange" was completed with Gamlin regular oil paints.  The roses and fruit came from Publix.  I like the painting better on my easel than this photo."







"I'm in awe . . . today is my 74th birthday."

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY

Happy Easter. Happy Birthday! So happy to see you found inspiration from Barbara Flowers demonstration. You've done a wonderful job on this large still life. All palette knife? I couldn't do it. How do you like the Gamblin's? I love them and so do all my students that switched to them. Hope you plan to celebrate your day!
