Every year I paint a cardinal, they come at my feeder all the time, one year I had a tree full of them, I  couldn't believe it, I think they had a reunion!  i just painted this tonight, after  two week end of open house and other commitments, I was going nuts I need a paint brush in my hand at all times!
The two week ends went actually very well , 9 paintings found new owners, always nice to place your children in the right homes LOL. this little guy needs one also, being a miniature i am very affordable .email nlcasey@charter.net  $26.50 with postage.

This summer while in Maine, my friend Tammy and I were driving to a house close to the farm we stay at when these two ravens or crow, not sure of the difference? perched on top oft he roof talking to each other, I couldn't help thinking that the mate was telling the other, listen to me ! and he was ignoring her, this was my interpretation of the scene. After last week at my house when Tim didn't want to go to the hospital, I was thinking of the ravens on the roof!

He is home doing fine, must take it easy for awhile and tons of medications to take, this was a warning so I hope now he will listen .

If you are a collector of ravens this is the painting for you ,email me nlcasey@charter.net

I painted this rooster for a local auction to raise money for the art center in Chelmsford MA. You know artists always get ask to do this, this month alone I was asked for four different donations , I will do some but not all, artists have to make money also. Thank God I love doing what I do !
Tomorrow I will be gallery sitting at the loading dock gallery , if you are in the area ,stop by it's a beautiful place .

I have talked about Pierre before, He was the first rooster I raised  from a chick , I never get tired of painting him ,so Pierre lives on in my  work, I have painted him in every style and medium .
I am working on a commission right now for someone who wants a large painting ,so for the lack of time I have been painting these miniatures .

These little guys come at my feeder everyday, they are very cute ! I know one thing birds like good food, forget the cheap grain stuff ,we bought some and they are snobing us right now and going next door, I had told Tim don't get the cheap one, I guess it will take a trip to the store tomorrow .
I had a wonderful day with my friends today at Breakfast Club, all of us are artists! we had our regular meeting of networking and critiquing paintings, after we went out for yearly Christmas lunch at an Italian restaurant ,some of us have been friends for over 20 years .

Well we have escaped the worst of Irene with some broken branches and a broken dead tree, lots of debris ,but never lost power ,only a flicker. I feel bad for the rest of some New England towns who are flooded and have no power, weather sure can be strange at times . For the next few days I will be posting some miniatures , part of an order for a collector , he loves birds ,cats dogs etc.. so I think I will be doing a few of them. I do take orders for miniatures if you are ever interested , they are $25.00

While at the studio today I decided to try this new aquaboard I had ,I bought this pack when I went to Savannah ,as you know me by now I am always ready to try something new , having a picture of my chickens , that would make the painting of the day! It had a different feel to it ,remind me of the Youpo paper ,the one thing is you are able to frame it like an oil .
It sure turnout to be a beautiful day today, I sure hope it continues .
