My name is Lena Noftall.  I am a retired Registered Nurse, but 

having said that, I do work on a casual basis at our local nursing 

home.  My husband and I live in the province of Newfoundland 

and Labrador and have been married for 43 years.  We have two

sons and two grandsons.

I started oil painting as a hobby in the early seventies and continued

 for a few years, but when life got busy with work and children, I put

 it aside.  In the early nineties I started decorative  painting with a 

group of seven friends.  We met once a week and usually painted 

the same pattern.  Five of us still meet regularly; two have moved away.  

Three years ago, I became interested in the Donna Dewberry 

One Stroke^TM and studied with a certified teacher in my area. 

  This same teacher is also certified in the Mary Owens Pen and Ink 

Oil Rouging.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this style of painting and although 

I am still enjoying  this technique, I am at present embarking on the Wet on Wet style as developed by the artist Bob Ross.

For further information and to order any of my paintings, please do not

hesitate to contact me.
