"Sun going down the mountain" pastel 8x10, copyrighted 2009
Nita Leger Casey

I painted this scene last week in Maine while at the pond , at dusk before the sun goes down , it hits the mountain like paint brush , I sat there at the edge of the pond with my pastels trying to capture the scene , it was fun to do and had to be quick , if I had taken a photo I wouldn't of capture the same feeling , nothing beats painting plein air ! of course we can always do it, but i sure enjoy my times in Maine when I can . Today I spent the entire day framing for a local show this Saturday at Seasons at Calmore Antique and art show in Dunstable Massachusetts , This is my 5th year doing it , if you are in the area stop by.

Reflection , by Nita Leger Casey ,copyrighted 2009 , 6x6 oil

the reflection of a simple tree in the water ,just like a mirror is always fun to do .
I cleaned part of my basement today where I keep all my frames ,why does the style change so fast , all gold frames all wood frames all black frames , styles always changing drive me crazy!
the storage the money involve is another thing. But that's the business we are in , It is what it is !
Thinking of going up north the colors are really changing , and I need a few days in the woods before it gets too cold. This little painting would make a perfect present for someone .
