Maine sky

pastel 6x8 ©
Nita Leger Casey
I didn't paint today, I really wanted too but other commitment that comes in your life and sometimes you have to take a break like going to church to say good bye to a  dear friend who lost her battle with cancer. Then it made me think of Maine and missing the beautiful sky by our place where we have a cabin ,when we close in October ,I  know it will be six months before I see it again, so it is something to look for, we are half way there!
This painting is available ,just email me nlcasey@charter.net

Full Moon over the bay Sold
The rain much needed came today, the flowers need it , but it sure made a dreary day , a great day to paint after my morning cleaning . Clancy was asleep all day a bit depressed after Bosley left yesterday , that is my son's dog , I was watching him all week, they had played so much during the week both young and full of energy ,of course they are like kids ,you have to watch them every minute , one time Bosley got a hold of a yellow tube of oil paint ,he had it all over his face and paws ,that was a job cleaning him !

oil 5x7 . it is so beautiful when the moon is over the water.

Red sky at night ?
Red sky at night , sailor's delight, red sky morning sailor's takes warning , I think that is how the saying goes, being French I tend to mess up these little saying with my own versions, my kids often make fun of what I come up with!
Oh well, I do pretty good for someone who came to this country not speaking a word of English , it didn't take me long to learn , and surely never expected to have things written in my own language like they do today.
I am having fun painting these colorful skies , I hope you enjoy them , don't be afraid to buy one , they do need a home! email me if you are interested . nlcasey@charter.net

Tide Mill in the evening
Spring is here, all the trees are in blossoms ,it just happened over night with the heat we had this week , we certainly deserve it after this horrible winter. I am still on my sunset / sunrise series
it's amazing to see all the different sky's I have captures with my camera , it has to be the must beautiful part of the day , it's like God takes a paint brush and show us how to paint!

oil 5x7 email me if interested , nlcasey@charter.net

Maine sky 2
A sky can be the most beautiful abstract painting we get from God almost every morning and every night , you never see the same design twice ,the colors can be so beautiful and so unreal you wonder how it happens , I am fascinated with them at times , when I am painting at the farm in the summers in Maine with all my friends we go totally crazy taking pictures of the most beautiful sky over the hills of the farm or over the bay.
I am longing for my summer trips to Maine .
