North Country beauty

oil, 5x7copyrighted 2011
Nita Leger Casey
I was thinking a few years ago I painted in the White Mountains of NH, It was so cold but beautiful, this is a painting I had done then from the small village below the Inn were we stayed, at the time it did remind me of the Adro Hibbard paintings I had seen in magazines, since then I have seen over 150 of them last fall in Rockport, MA, I must say I really love his work, but then again I love New England! We are waiting for more snow tomorrow more paintings to be done!
this painting is sold.

This was a challenge photo given by my friend Denise to paint during our recent snow storm,well this was before the storm! we got about 24 inches and grounded by the Governor to stay home and off the road, it actually worked very well and our cleaning crews did a wonderful job on the Massachusetts roads .Today was a beautiful day and I did take a lot of photos, and this is why I love New England snow and all !

Winter in New England is actually not that bad because the sun shine most days compared to a winter where I come from in France when the days are cold ,damp and grey, This is why I love New England ! and the nice red barns, a sunny day also has so many beautiful shadows, a painter's dream !
Enjoy today's winter scene.if you have questions email me . nlcasey@charter.net

Artist statement

Artist statement

I am an Artist who has painted most of my life and enjoy every minute of it. My journey in the art world continually evolves keeping up with the time, I paint in many different medium and love them all. My collection of work is primarily in oils and I use watercolors for commissions, illustrations, and pastels for my own pleasure. My love for architecture shows in my work and many have compared my style with Edward Hopper. I feel honored to be compared with such wonderful artist. I paint daily in the studio and plein air when weather permits. I try to paint from life as much as possible. Last year I gave up teaching art after thirty years of private classes and, now enjoy my former student’s accomplishment in the arts. Many collectors around the world own my work and hope many more will in the future.

The best is yet to come – enjoy my journey!

Handy Hints to Successful Art Buying Online

You can make your online art purchasing experiences a lot of fun, and stress-free, if you just take a few moments to follow some tried-and-tested advice.
These hints will give you the very best chance of finding quality works of art, and receiving the art in perfect condition.

1) If you see a piece of art you like on a favorite artist's Blog, don't be afraid to request a couple more photos of the work. Most artists will happily oblige. You might like to see close-up detail of some section... or perhaps an image to confirm the coloring is consistent.

2) Look for the artist's email address. Apart from a direct email contact, artists often post contact phone numbers. They do this for a reason. They would like you to phone them. So do it! If you'll feel better talking to a 'real person' make the call. But I would always recommend making direct email contact with the artist.It's helpful to have a line of communication from the point when you make your purchase, to the point when the work is dispatched to you. Most artists also would like the opportunity to follow up and ensure the work has arrived safely. Don't simply place your order and make your payment. Take the opportunity to communicate with the artist. It will make the whole process run more smoothly.

3) Consider purchasing more than one piece of art at a time.If you fall in love with the work of a particular artist, consider purchasing a piece and leaving it with the artist. Then, when you see another work by the same artist you wish to purchase, ask for both pieces to be sent together. This will reduce freight costs considerably. Most artists will be happy to hold a paid artwork in storage, especially if they realize it's because you wish to purchase a second piece.

4) Email the artist and ask them if they have any artworks not yet posted on their blog.Some artists don't have the time to post every piece on their blog. Or some pieces are displayed, and then taken down after a time. It doesn't hurt to ask the artist to email images of any works they have in their 'stock room'.... and it can be a way to discover secret treasures.
