   Monday I was all exited to go to my studio and trying to get back in the routine by doing a painting of the sketch  I posted last week, well the painting didn't come the way I wanted, not all lost but still working on it . Then the weather got very cold snow etc... so i am home working on miniature paintings, this is my neighbors house from our TV room, I love the way the light hits the snow at night .

We have just experience a week of unthinkable terror on our wonderful city of Boston, it had us glued to the TV this entire week, it was hard to concentrate on painting while people were in such pain and terror until they were arrested. We our proud of our Boston police !
The miniature painting is from a scene in Maine a place I would like to visit soon ! the weather is warming up so I hope it will be near future.

I was running errands today and no time to go to my studio but on my way back home I decided to take a couple small roads, I am always looking to capture new scenes, I actually drive by this house a lot but mostly see the front of it but by taking this small road I had a different perspective, a very different view and liking  this little red door, with my camera on hand at all times I took a few photos,down the street also took some cows that were so cute !Well tomorrow we are supposed to get more snow so I will again be inspired to continue my snow scenes. Email me if you are interested in this original miniature  nlcasey@charter.net
my miniatures are $25.00  ready to be framed .

Heald pond in winter

It snowed all day today, feeding my birds as usual and became fascinated with them , I had so many you would of think they were having there last supper , I replenished the plate 4 times , at one time I could see four cardinals , never close to take a picture all together , but i did get some good ones . The snow ended and now it's rain turning to ice ,I wonder what it will be in the morning . My plan today was to paint something else , but couldn't resit the birds .

Bearskin Neck in winter ,watercolor 6x6 (c) 2010

I posted yesterday that we took a ride to Rockport , a winter stroll on Cape Ann! the locals had come out for a sunny Sunday walk. If you have visited this little art community in the summer it looks a little different , many shops were not open , I think they open around Easter, when my son Patrick was younger I would take him during spring break just to drag him to all the galleries , he was happy as long we had a meal and ice cream somewhere in town .
Well I think we are finely getting snow tomorrow, about time! the rest of the country had plenty and none here , it is New England !

We just woke up to a beautiful snow covered beautiful landscape this morning , but it was a messy clean up that took a lot of my day ,I did managed to paint a mini , that was between taking pictures of the birds I feed, they looked so pretty in the snow ,I have a feeder next to my kitchen windows, they are so much fun to watch and observe ,I had nine doves at one time , lots of chickadees and titmouse .
This cottage is somewhere in the North Shore of Massachusetts in the edge of a sea inlet , I took a photo of it because of the red door ,I have a thing with red doors .
