"Spring shadows " original watercolor
8x5 copyrighted 2010
Nita Leger Casey sold

Took a few days off my wonderful series of Downtown Boston , I love the soft colors of Spring with this brown stone house on Newburry Street , I have a few more to do , but also other projects so I might not post everyday, commissions come first!
I have a challenge going with my artists Breakfast group , paint a scene working with only two colors , a few have done it already I probably will post the results later, it is amazing all the colors you can make with only yellow ochre and burnt sienna with white and black .

"A touch of spring in the city"
Nita Leger Casey
Original Watercolor,mini (c)2010

Went to Boston yesterday to my favorite Street and captured more scenes for my series , Spring on Newburry Street is always spectacular and this year I think it is early by a couple weeks . The Boston Marathon was the day before , plenty of visitors and tourists were in town , I stopped in a few shops it is always a treat to see the different decors and display of the beautiful things they sell in their stores . I only had time today to paint a mini , but more to come will follow , hoping to work a bit larger in the next few weeks . For the collectors of minis , this one is a gem an original watercolor .

"A touch of spring in the window "
5x7 original watercolor (c) 2010
Nita Leger Casey
Another wonderful Spring day, to come to an end for the week end , I guess we need the April showers for the flowers . I will be dog sitting my grand dog and mine for the next few days , I wonder if the dogs will let me paint or being needy and demand all my attention .
This window is a bit unusual being on the second floor, the spring flowers made it special . I will be going back to Boston next Tuesday , really want to get some good restaurant scenes .

Nita Leger Casey Sold

Here is my # 2 dress shop , fun to paint ! wish I was young again to wear these cute dresses , I love dresses , and use to wear lots of them , now our way of life is so casual , I miss it ! Some of my friends think I still dress nice but I really don't not Like I use to . When I went to Quebec last year for the first time that is where people still dress nice just to come to an art show . I think they have kept a nice tradition .
I am posting early today ,taking Tim out for his Birthday , we are off to a Brazilian restaurant !
