In the Spring Tim and I went to Ireland , after being  at the airport ready to go, waiting in line getting to the desk the airline said,oh your plane is not coming from Dublin tonight, it went to London,
it will come tomorrow, a bit of panic, our ride had gone back home, a little talk with Air Lingus  and   they where nice enough to put us up at the hotel at the airport so to pass the time the next day I painted this scene in a loose style from the window of the 6 th floor, so perhaps someone had the same experience and would love a watercolor of the scene, here is your chance.email me if you are interested on this watercolor .nlcasey@charter.net

Listen to me!

This summer while in Maine, my friend Tammy and I were driving to a house close to the farm we stay at when these two ravens or crow, not sure of the difference? perched on top oft he roof talking to each other, I couldn't help thinking that the mate was telling the other, listen to me ! and he was ignoring her, this was my interpretation of the scene. After last week at my house when Tim didn't want to go to the hospital, I was thinking of the ravens on the roof!

He is home doing fine, must take it easy for awhile and tons of medications to take, this was a warning so I hope now he will listen .

If you are a collector of ravens this is the painting for you ,email me nlcasey@charter.net

This was an entry in my journal from  two weeks ago on our trip to NH.

No new work this week , we had a emergency here with my husband who had a breathing problem, managed to convinced him to go to the Dr. after many arguments, results he had a Heart attack and didn't know it, so you never know! he is OK , It was a warning for sure and to listen to your wife!

I think he has learn his lesson.

I painted this while I took a break from posting on Daily painters,because this past week I did not have time for anything but getting ready for the Big week end in Lowell, I am looking for paintings that did not get attention before. Well The week end was a bit disappointing for me,we did not get the crowd we normally get, it was a fairly nice week end and I think many people went up North to see the foliage, and I sure don't blame them! I would of myself if this was not planed.
As Artists we always make excuses why people did not come or buy, it' just the way it is ! This scene caught my eye while driving this little country road in Maine, I love the sunlight coming through the trees .I think I did capture it. this watercolor is available just email me nlcasey@charter.net

Looking in!
