"Juliet from the Boston Garden '
Miniature 2,5x3,5 watercolor , copyrighted 2010
Nita Leger Casey

What a wonderful day I had today , Went back to the Boston Garden to take more reference photos of flowers ducks swans etc... while I was there by the famous Swan boats , I decided to ask a lady who worked at the gift shop if she knew the owners , and she pointed at a tall gentleman ,I asked him if he was the son of my husband's cousin , he was ! and said she is right there , Peggy who is 82 years old is still selling tickets there three times a week , I had not seen this lady for at least 16 years , so happy to have seen her again , I had fond memories of her when I came to this country 45 years ago . Exited to tell my husband about it ,after his Dr appointment I brought him back to the garden to see his longtime cousins , it was a happy reunion !
I am really getting to know Boston driving all over the place , if you go there the best place to park is under the common . When we got home I only had time to paint a miniature of Juliet you may read about them Romeo and Juliet who live in the Boston Garden .
email me if you are interested , nlcasey@charter.net
also if you come to town make sure you visit the Swan Boats , an old Boston tradition .

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.
