 Pierre and the girls  ,©2015
Pen and Ink sketches , a challenge for the next 30 days with my Art friends, sketching can be very rewarding and relaxing, the challenge is fairly easy for me , I sketch all the time ever since I was a small girl,it got me in trouble a few times when I would sketch on very important papers at my father's desk.
So to all my art friends ,keep on sketching!

North Anson Tower

Watercolor 11x14
Nita Leger Casey
I am not too sure of the History of the tower?  I was told it was a "World war 2 "look out tower. It's located at a farm where I get vegetable in Maine, the building is so interesting, looks like a cross between a windmill and a  lighthouse, I always been intrigued by it , and for years it has been on my list to do,  it was a very hot day when I started  the painting, after I sketched must of the details, I went back to our cabin to finish it.
I will get more info on my next trip to Maine ,not for sale at this time, but please check my inventory of other New England scenes.

This summer has been so busy for me with projects on our cabin in Maine, traveling back and forth, that my time to blog has been minimized, I figured I needed a brake anyway, I started almost 10 years ago, I can't believe where the time has gone. Sometimes we need to change our routine!
But I still did a lot of painting and this one is one of them ,a local place in a small town in Maine .not for Sale at the moment , but i have plenty of paintings in my inventory so please look ,you might see something you like . always email me nlcasey@charter.net .
Also we have open studio at  WESTERNAVENUESTUDIOS.COM  this Saturday noon to 5
