Still painting !

It has been a long time since I have posted ! It's not that I am not active in the art world. Being on Facebook and Instagram, my blog has been neglected. Will try to do better!

 An old stone Church  in a small village in New England !  from what I  hear was build by Irish emigrants, I have grown to love this little church part of my parish . Our priest was being transferred and I  wanted to give him a print of it at his going away dinner last month.  The original is available email me if you are interested . nlcasey@charter.net

What a night we had last night! with over 60 miles an hour high winds , the coast had it worst and still have no power in many towns in the area .
I had painted these boats during the week from the town of Gloucester , we had stopped over last week and I took a few photos , I have painted some of these boats before actually on location at a better time of the year like Spring . It's a wonderful town to capture the New England fishing life , these boats have characters, they are like old man who have wrinkles ,they have lots of rust that tell the hard life they go through.

Winter by the Sea

Today I finished a few paintings that only needed a final touch. The day flew by!

This snow scene I am posting today, was done earlier from Plum Island, MA. I always like to go to the ocean after a snow storm , it looks so beautiful and unusual to see snow on the beach.

This is a pastel on a board framed and matted
