 From my winter series #3, I am still driving around to look  at some winter wonders! on this one I liked the reflections in the water, then I decided to use a different board, when you use pastels, it is amazing all the different papers and boards you could use, this one was a mat board I primed with a special medium called colourfix primer ,it gives you a fine tooth and perfect for for what I wanted  to achieved, this was a smaller one being a 6x8, the first two were large paintings who need to be framed properly.
this one is available now as a daily painting, and easy to ship, if you are interested in this one email me nlcasey@charter.net

This is a large 20x25 pastel of a scene close to my house in Pepperell, you don't have to travel far to capture the most beautiful scene in the winter. after doing this scene, i really wanted to do another one but I had a meeting to go to and tomorrow I have to gallery sit and the day after we have open studio, i will paint during open studios.

I went by this scene two days in a row, I kept looking at the shadows on the bright red brick, and you know when I see something that hit me, I have to paint it ! it's up the street from my house, my town is very cute and very New England I have endless scenes to paint if I want. I have chosen Pastel and kept loose ,more impressionistic style. Normally this scene should be deep in snow, it is now February and still no snow, I am sure we will get some at some point !

Little red shack

Watercolor 8x8 copyrighted by Nita Leger Casey

I am now working on a commission of a large painting, I worked on it all day, so far I am happy with it,I will post it tomorrow.
My other job will be to decorate my house, I have not started yet, going to the attic to drag everything out is a job!  and no time to do it .
Many have seen a little fishing shack like this one, maybe it even brings memories when you were a kid fishing, this painting needs a home !
