Nita Leger Casey

I had a full day today , walked almost an hour this morning at 6 AM watched the sunrise in Pepperell walking with my friend Pam and Clancy of course , a bit cold at 7 degree , I later went to Yoga for an hour and a half ,I am really liking it! I think it is good for my back problem and very relaxing Then I drove to the Lowell Western avenue Studios had lunch with my friends before going to my own studio and painted most of the afternoon , this was my pick for the day another view of Lowell from the stairwell going to the fourth floor . The Whistler Museum is having a show about Lowell soon , I must think about this , so many interesting scenes to do .

A tiny snow scene
oil on copper 2,5x3,5,(C)2010
Nita Leger Casey

Yesterday I went to the studios , had lunch with some friends and went up to my own studio to clean up a little , my mind was not on creating much , but forced myself thinking I did not come all this way for nothing so I picked up my brush and worked on a miniature , this time on copper, a typical scene I see just about everywhere around here after a snow storm .
Then today I met all my Friends at the artists Breakfast Club and we talked about shows and workshops and it seems like life is getting back to normal , Holidays and sickness can really take you of course . So happy to have a great group of friends !
This mini is for sale ,painted on copper is very special . email me nlcasey@charter.net

Abandoned (c)2010, miniature oil on board
Nita Leger Casey

This poor house was abandoned in a beautiful landscape on the edge of a stream on Owl's Head ,sad but true, many old houses are left this way in Maine , I always feel bad when I see that ,we had just visited this small Peninsula just before Christmas. As you see I love to take a ride to visit many part of these beautiful States we call New England .
Today I visited an Artist Dennis Poirier at his studio in Maine , beautiful work who portraits New England at it's best, Check him out!
