Old school house

5x7 Old school house in Pepperell

In the winter, I do love to take some drives around my town after a snow storm! and always try to capture some Winter beauty, on this drive last month I did just that. Living in New England I never run out of subjects to paint, this old school house always has been one of my favorite ! Just think of the grandparents who told stories when they went to school walked miles and miles through the snow to get to school!
I decided to paint this one in casein an old medium, like an opaque watercolor or gouache , easy to get fine details, sometimes doing details relaxes my mind!

Mt Lafayette NH

Mt Lafayette ©2017 Nita Leger Casey
It has been a longtime not posting, and I have missed my daily painters family. After my Spring show at the loading dock art gallery in June, I needed to spend quality time with my husband who was battling lung problems, so we spent our summer in Maine and enjoyed the beauty around us, fall came and he was diagnosed with lung cancer and was given a few years ,but alas it didn't happen, the day before Christmas he passed away. So my painting took a back seat so to speak. Last week I decided to go out and paint with all my very good friends at my Winter favorite place to paint, it was certainly a good feeling! I am so lucky to have the best of friends who are so supportive.
So this is the place Mt Lafayette and a little view of Cannon Mountain from the Sunset Hill Inn. it's a 5x7 pastel matted into a 8x10 ready to ship $100.00 free shipping , 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.
