Busy square in Portsmouth

 Watercolor 6x8 © Nita Leger Casey
From the Southern Street scenes to the North, here is another street scene in New Hampshire in the lovely town of Portsmouth , a place I love to walk and admire the little shops and have coffee at our favorite place on the square, part of  our Sunday rides. Portsmouth has so much history, you can find houses from the early 1700 still lived in , one of the oldest port I believe. It also has beautiful galleries and restaurants. I should be a tour guide in my next life!  This painting is available $100.00 mated , email me nlcasey@charter.net    #portsmouthnewhamphire #NitalegerCasey #NewEngland

Will be posting a few of my small watercolors of street scenes, I would love to find a home for them, all my street scenes are of places I have been, I always love the energy some of these quint scenes with shops and restaurants  give me. This is in Savannah Georgia, one of the most  beautiful Southern  town I have seen , I am lucky to get to visit this one ounce in awhile.
all are at a very good price .$100.00 + shipping. Email me nlcasey@charter.net

I really love a busy street scene! Portsmouth has been a town where I have done a bunch of them,  loving this town helps ! Tim and I sometimes drive an hour to get there just to get a cup a coffee and sit outside and enjoy people watching, at the same time check out the little shops and galleries .

Savannah's best
8x10 watercolor , copyrighted 2011
Nita Leger Casey

Sunday is not my favorite day ,I always seem to get get the blues unless I am out somewhere , today I really was prepared to take a drive to chase the Sunday blues but the weather was so overcast and cold we choose not to waste gas , not knowing how the sidewalks will be where I wanted to go , my destination was to be Newburryport ,the town I mentioned yesterday .
As you see I am on my street scenes mode ,this was from a photo I took in Savannah , I love that town the old part of course ,I have visited many times ,it is famous for it's special Southern cooking lady and this is her restaurant , let's see if anyone recognized the place ? the parks are great and the waterfront very tourist and funky , my grand daughter loves the candy store there . Tomorrow is valentine's day , be good to your love ones .
Happy Valentine's to all my followers !

Decided to do this wonderful little vignette from my studio ,it is at a distance but that is what I see, passed the Mill and the Canal , this week end I was showing all the visitors the scene one said you make it look like Nantucket , no it's Lowell ! it is a compliment . It was nice to paint there very quiet and the time just went so fast , I also did another small oil , a few more commitments and then I should have a real schedule being there .
It was also nice to get back to my watercolors .

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 !

"Spring shadows " original watercolor

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 .

"Spring Garden in the city "
miniature watercolor 2,5x3,5
Nita Leger Casey

This is # 3 of my minis of Spring in the city, I almost did not posted this one , I think I overworked it , sometimes you go a step to far , artists never know when to quit! as i wanted these little ones to be light like the Spring colors, otherwise I can paint a watercolor like an oil with tons of details and loose the affect I was after . I painted this early this morning before I went and did some yard work ,now every muscles in my body is hurting from digging turning some flower beds over , good things it's Friday Tim and I will go on our date and I will have a glass of wine ,so I am posting early tonight .
