Flowers from Valentine

Watercolor 11x14
©2014
Knowing it was going to snow last Thursday I was prepared with a still life arrangement in my kitchen , I had bought the flowers for that reason ! sure enough it snowed all day and still snowing tonight two days later. It had been a longtime since I worked on a still life painting, I really used to do them all the time when I was painting for greeting cards, I felt a little rusty doing it, my style is so much looser now, I had to stop myself trying to fix it, during the process of painting this I realize I love my studio away from the house, too many distraction at the house. email inquiry

A new painting done this summer at my retreat ,set up the still life in front of a beautiful painting done by Tim Gatos a local artist who spends his summers there, the reflection of two windows in the blue bottle, a cloth I had rescued from textile example on an antique cabinet, I do love to get really involve in sitting my props.
This painting can be viewed at the Lowell open studios this week end in Lowell Massachusetts at Western Avenue studios ,I will be there at 407A, All studios will be open this week end Saturday and Sunday 11AM to5PM  , a great way to see the city as well .

Strawberries are so good , one of my favorite fruit , this watercolor would be so perfect in a kitchen decor . it is always so much nicer to own an original ,one of a kind , the cloth is a French one .

"Roses for you " Pastel 8x10 (c) 2011
I just received my new set of hand made Pastels , from Diane Townsend and I was dying to try it , I wanted something cheerful with Valentine 's day coming, what better then beautiful roses !
they are beautiful pastels , the first time I use this brand, when you paint with pastels , it's a bit of an addiction to get more and more of them .
Otherwise today I made a trip to a chiropractor to cure my ailments with my chronic back pain , he is my last resort ,hope it will work ! I have tried the injections at a pain clinic and that did not work . I am keeping my fingers cross !
Think of your Valentine ,only a few days .

Hydrangea's on quilt,copyrighted 2009, Nita Leger Casey

5x5 watercolor

Decided to do another quilt painting, not sure if I like it yet ?I think the flowers are too close to the quilt colors,the quilt is an antique I bought in South Carolina a few years back, the flowers are from my garden, the wicker chair I just bought for $ 5.00 at a garage sale. It takes a lot of prop to do a still life ,I am always looking for things .I probably will paint this quilt again with different flowers.

A few weeks ago I made this quilt, red being my favorite color , I had fun doing it.Today I decided to use it in one of my still life , quilts have been a big part of my paintings when I paint for a possible greeting card design, most of the time I had also made the quilt, people like them as they are comforting, who does not remember a quilt a grand mother had made, it's also a great craft ,mine are very simple ,I have gone to quilt shows and I am so impress with the work that goes into them ,much more than me painting them, this watercolor is available Email me

Went to Boston on some business for my husband today , the city looked great all the flowers were blooming everywhere , I just wish I had some time to do some sketching or painting , it has been my goal for so long ,just to go in the city for this only , but it seems we always have an agenda not connected to painting ,and I usually come home frustrated with all the scene that would make a nice painting , we had lunch in a very nice Irish Pub, McGreeveys , I recommend if you are in town .
This still life would make a nice addition to someones blue and white kitchen decor . $100.00 + 10.00 shipping , email me
