I painted this last month on location at the Pemaquid lighthouse , I saved it to post for the 4 th of July week end, it just has that feeling of a family 4 th of July holiday visit to a famous lighthouse on the coast of Maine, I had fun painting this scene with some friends in a mini art retreat, we stay there in a beautiful Antique hotel  with other artists who enjoy painting as I do. Actually will be going back in a couple weeks with another group of friends, I just love the coast of Maine!

 After my recent trip to Pemaquid , I wanted to paint this little one. While I was there I did a watercolor on location ,will post it tomorrow ,but I always wanted to do an evening one.
That scene is about the hour my friends and I come out of the restaurant located next to the light house, it's always so beautiful with the light on, and many different sky behind, sunset, fog, many different colors and always different!

Still posting paintings from my recent trip at Pemaquid Point in Maine.This was done on a beautiful sunny day in Plein air! when the pines grows by the ocean they do take a funny shape and grow under or over a rock in a amazing way ! you couldn't plant that if you tried ,but nature has a way to do magical tricks! this past week i was not able to paint much with family duties and more to come this week so it is a good thing I had painted  some backup.
this painting is available,  $225.00  email me nlcasey@charter.net

Pastel Plein air Pemaquid

I have been absent from the computer!
 I was on a mini retreat with the Pastel Painters of Maine, and decided not to go on the computer,  just a little facebook post from my phone that's all !
I just wanted to enjoy this wonderful week end with lots of friends and wonderful artists , the weather was incredible, it was the perfect week end for the start of the summer .
We caravan  up the cost in four cars, a 3 1/2 hours ride to Pemaquid , as we got to the park many of the artists where already painting , it did not take us long to set up ourselves and totally get in the zone of Plein air painting and with a view like this and the smell of the fresh salt air it was perfect !
This was one of the painting done there .if you are interseted email me .nlcasey@charter.net

Just came back from a wonderful retreat with the Pastel Painters of Maine The weather beautiful for half the time there, gave me plenty time to paint two paintings and a few sketches , the rest of the time we are lucky to have a great carriage house who serves as a great big studio,we had two critiques and a great demonstration from a Maine artist Caren Michel, lots of socializing,suppers at a small restaurant right on the edge of the ocean. Sunday the weather did turn to the worst and was not able to make our planed trip to the Island of Mounhegan ,so my friend and I drove back with some heavy rain, all and all it was a great week end retreat.

Pastel 10x10 ,copyrighted 2011
Nita Leger Casey

The first week my relatives visited ,I did take along to the Maine pastel painter's retreat , they were able to visit the area while I was painting and learned a little bit of American History at the same time , this Fort William Henry was very interesting , it could of been French at one time ,but the English won! if you ever visit the area it is well worth the trip to see and take the tour , one of Maine 's State park . Going to the retreat is also nice because we stay at the beautiful Antique Hotel Pemaquid with lots of history as well .
I truly enjoyed painting this scene,the weather was great ,and later that day this painting got critiqued by the group , all good marks! my Maine friends are so nice .
It is for sale $275.00 matted and shipped .
