"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 .

Watercolor 6x8

Another week gone , honestly don't know where the time went! I just came back from an art opening in Jaffrey NH , a nice group of artists were there , some I have been friends with for over twenty years , it was a member's show in the upstairs gallery , I have a mini show downstairs . The town of Jaffrey is about forty five minutes from my house , in the foothills of the New Hampshire mountains .
This watercolor is from my last trip into Portsmouth , when you find an interesting subject like this , it's fun to find the right store front, this one was perfect with the display of the coat outside.

watercolor 5x7

We just had a few nice sunny days ,to give us hope that Spring will come soon , but no such luck, winter is coming back tomorrow and the day after. On Sunday I took photos of different store fronts , this particular one was one of my favorite , love the color ,very antique look and the light was great , I didn't like the display, so with my artistic license I changed things a bit . If this store front could talk , it had plenty stories of different business , being close to the old port in Portsmouth ,one of the oldest community in the East coast. I had fun painting this little gem .
