Life is Good in a Spring day on Newburry Street in Boston, this painting is part of a series of watercolors where I have captured the Brown Stones and it's lovely boutiques . I have not posted for a couple weeks ,sometimes life  just gets in the way, like cleaning and other project that takes me out of my studio. I wish the warm weather would stay more than a day at a time , I  so want to go plein air painting soon!
This painting is available framed $175.00 email me nlcasey@charter.net

My friends and I went on a little field trip today in NH. It was a cold and sunny day, We had a nice lunch at Parker's barn and later made a few stops along the way to take photos , this was a nice stream with  rushing  Spring water ,I decided after supper to paint this with oil on  a new paper Arches put out, kind of like it!  almost like a watercolor.

Organic beauty

Watercolor 6x8
©2014
After working on two different  major projects for the pass month, I am back with some fun subjects to paint, I love animals and cows are one of them, growing up in France I was exposed to the country life every summer when my mother would sent me to my older sister's house who lived in a village full of farms, my job was to go get the fresh milk before breakfast from the farm next door, it was still warm by the time I got back at the breakfast table, and now I still spend part of my summers on farms in Maine where I paint the beautiful landscape. This one is from  the Tide Mill organic farm in Maine, they now produce the MOO milk sold all over New England. email me if you are interested
