Nita Leger Casey

Here is number three boutique from the Newburry Street series, I have a few more in mind .
I painted this while having a terrible tooth ache , I can't believe I manage to finish it in time to post it, decided to see the dentist to find out he is in vacation another dentist from the next town took me in, gave me some pain killer until I see my regular dentist , he couldn't see anything with one X ray .Next week will be very busy for me , the week before Easter and all the kids and grandchildren are coming !
one of the boutique is on hold for a collector , hoping someone else will like these , email me nlcasey@charter.net

Dress shop on Newbury street, watercolor 5x7 (c) 2010
Nita Leger Casey Sold

Here is my # 2 dress shop , fun to paint ! wish I was young again to wear these cute dresses , I love dresses , and use to wear lots of them , now our way of life is so casual , I miss it ! Some of my friends think I still dress nice but I really don't not Like I use to . When I went to Quebec last year for the first time that is where people still dress nice just to come to an art show . I think they have kept a nice tradition .
I am posting early today ,taking Tim out for his Birthday , we are off to a Brazilian restaurant !

Yesterday I posted a John Singer Sargent photo from the collection of the Boston MFA and everyone wanted to know if it was a painting, and wanted to know if I paint this sort of subject , yes I have ! but I have sold them before it was posted , so here are a few of the ones I have done who are now with some collectors , this one has a Mary Cassatt in the background.
It is always on my list to do more as I do enjoy them very much , you have to love to paint your subject to make your journey in art pleasurable .
I do also take commissions , I would answer any question you would have , just email me

Today was a pleasant surprise myself to go to the Boston Museum of Fine arts . My husband a DR appointment in town , I knew it would take a few hours , so I went to the museum and to my surprise this show had just open , beautiful still life show from Luis Meléndez (1716–1780). what a treat! I really wanted to come home and paint pears ! I also enjoyed the beautiful work of John Singer Sargent's The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit , will go on tour at the end of the month to Prado , so that was nice to see it again before the tour , i just love that painting ! and all the others , I feel fortunate to have seen many of his paintings .
