Tomorrow morning I will wake up at 4 AM to see the wedding ,I am sure I will not be the only one , over the years I have watch them all , when it was princess Diana we were living in Germany at the time .

Here is another view of this famous Boston Street, I had lunch there yesterday , after doing some sketching in the park one street over , I am really getting to know the city , something I wanted to do for many years , you know you never know the town you are the closest to ,because we have a way to take things for granted , and always in a hurry , my husband thinks he knows it yes, he was born here ! but it has changed since the 1940's .
Don't forget , collect art ,collect original art, you will never be disappointed , it will make you happy !

" A Boston Spring day"

original watercolor 6x8 copyrighted 2010

Nita Leger Casey

I am really having fun with these spring scenes of Boston , I am lucky I was able to capture the beauty of the city with my weekly trips in town , I always wanted to do this but never took the time . The second thing I am enjoying is painting with my watercolor , it's a medium I always loved and was using it mostly with my greeting cards illustrations ,and doing the plein air in other medium , and now with the good weather I know I will be doing more pastels outside. Galleries do not like to show watercolors ,they don't want to deal with the glass and framing , so being on line you can buy directly from the artist ,so collectors this is your chance .

" Boston Architecture "

watercolor 6x8 copyrighted 2010

Nita Leger Casey

When you visit Boston and you see what beautiful architecture was built in the 1800 ,it is a treat to visit these beautiful street of downtown Boston when most builders were artists themselves .
I think this is why I love New England !The cities, small towns and country side are just an artist dream to paint.
collectors of watercolors , email me nlcasey@charter.net
Built in 1899 for attorney Albert C. Burrage. It was home to the Burrage family until 1947. It got converted into doctor's offices, later it became the Boston Evening Clinic, later still it became a nursing home and is now condos!
Similar to homes built on New York's Fifth Avenue, it was modeled after Chenonceaux, a chateau located in the Loire Valley of France, and represents the only example of the "chateauesque" style in Boston.

This striking building was designed by Architect Charles Brigham, who also designed the additions to the State House and numerous other buildings in Boston.
You can find this mansion on Commonwealth Ave at the corner of Hereford.
