Just a small gem of a favorite spot of mine in the summer. I have painted this scene in many different style and medium, and never get tired of the scene.
Just came back from  a nice week end in Maine with Tim and my doggy, just to open up our small mountain cabin, It is so nice to see everyone back at the pond after a long winter, the loons are back as well as the ducks and geese. Looking foward to paint from there part of the summer.

We have just experience a week of unthinkable terror on our wonderful city of Boston, it had us glued to the TV this entire week, it was hard to concentrate on painting while people were in such pain and terror until they were arrested. We our proud of our Boston police !
The miniature painting is from a scene in Maine a place I would like to visit soon ! the weather is warming up so I hope it will be near future.

Another scene from the Falls a favorite summer place to be on a very hot day!
Today was a miserable day, rain sleet and snow, I think Winter came back !

The Highland falls

Miniature series
copyrighted 2013  sold
Nita Leger Casey
I was looking  at old photos and found this one of the falls in Maine, I took this photo longtime ago when the kids used to go there to swim also like to scare me in the process of their disappearing act under the falls, the tricks that you kids do to make their mother scream in panic!
I am in the process of painting a series of minis for a client so this was the first one for this batch !

A house on the pond!

5x7 watercolor
copyrighted 2013
Nita Leger Casey
It has been a week since I posted, I had a bout of arthritis that kept me a bit down  and not working on new stuff, I blame the Lyme disease for it, as the stuff stays in your body forever even if you have been treated ,I don't think doctors really know what to tell you! so many people have it.
 I painted this awhile back, the ice was melting on this pond where a beaver had himself a nice little house, if you love nature  and a beaver's life this is a cute watercolor to have .
