"Lupines at the pond"
Nita Leger Casey
Pastel, 8x10
copyrighted 2011

Hello to everyone who have followed me for many years , I took a break from my daily paintings because I had my French relatives visiting for over a month and became a tour guide along with running a Bed and breakfast , it was wonderful having them here and we had a wonderful time, never laugh so much in my life when we would reminisce of our childhood ,very good memories it was . We manage to do a bit of travel in beautiful New England . I knew I could not keep up with my art full time and all the other happenings, I did manage to take them along to a painting week end retreat in Maine and to a few art meetings.
Next week I will be heading back to my yearly painting retreat in Lubec , so looking forward to emerge myself in what I love the most ,Painting !
here is a pastel I squeezed in while at our cabin in Maine .
$100.00 email me if your interested nlcasey@charter.net

The Blue Inn by the sea

Took my 150 miles round trip to take down my April show, most of the paintings are back in their boxes or bags ,ready to travel to another place where hopefully they will find a home . It's amazing how many walls ,parks ,fairs ,galleries one painting will travel, evenly someone will love them and take them home. Every artists dreams of that day! it's like children and they even cost money, photos ,brochures, slides ,entry fees . I don't think the general public is aware of this ! When they do get adopted, they become an investment in someones life and bring them joy and tranquility, one advise , BUY ORIGINAL ART!
Another small watercolor sketch done on location last summer.

Artist statement

Artist statement

I am an Artist who has painted most of my life and enjoy every minute of it. My journey in the art world continually evolves keeping up with the time, I paint in many different medium and love them all. My collection of work is primarily in oils and I use watercolors for commissions, illustrations, and pastels for my own pleasure. My love for architecture shows in my work and many have compared my style with Edward Hopper. I feel honored to be compared with such wonderful artist. I paint daily in the studio and plein air when weather permits. I try to paint from life as much as possible. Last year I gave up teaching art after thirty years of private classes and, now enjoy my former student’s accomplishment in the arts. Many collectors around the world own my work and hope many more will in the future.

The best is yet to come – enjoy my journey!

Handy Hints to Successful Art Buying Online

You can make your online art purchasing experiences a lot of fun, and stress-free, if you just take a few moments to follow some tried-and-tested advice.
These hints will give you the very best chance of finding quality works of art, and receiving the art in perfect condition.

1) If you see a piece of art you like on a favorite artist's Blog, don't be afraid to request a couple more photos of the work. Most artists will happily oblige. You might like to see close-up detail of some section... or perhaps an image to confirm the coloring is consistent.

2) Look for the artist's email address. Apart from a direct email contact, artists often post contact phone numbers. They do this for a reason. They would like you to phone them. So do it! If you'll feel better talking to a 'real person' make the call. But I would always recommend making direct email contact with the artist.It's helpful to have a line of communication from the point when you make your purchase, to the point when the work is dispatched to you. Most artists also would like the opportunity to follow up and ensure the work has arrived safely. Don't simply place your order and make your payment. Take the opportunity to communicate with the artist. It will make the whole process run more smoothly.

3) Consider purchasing more than one piece of art at a time.If you fall in love with the work of a particular artist, consider purchasing a piece and leaving it with the artist. Then, when you see another work by the same artist you wish to purchase, ask for both pieces to be sent together. This will reduce freight costs considerably. Most artists will be happy to hold a paid artwork in storage, especially if they realize it's because you wish to purchase a second piece.

4) Email the artist and ask them if they have any artworks not yet posted on their blog.Some artists don't have the time to post every piece on their blog. Or some pieces are displayed, and then taken down after a time. It doesn't hurt to ask the artist to email images of any works they have in their 'stock room'.... and it can be a way to discover secret treasures.
