Barn at dusk

pastel,9x12
©2014 NLC
Working on a new series of barns, most of them are large, this one is only 9x12 I wanted to make them a bit dramatic in colors, and simplify in designs. I already have four done and probably half of dozen more I want to do, will see where this takes me! I like some challenges ounce in while ,just wish framing would not get in the way of my creativity. also need to work on a few commissions . if you are interested in this one email me nlcasey@charter.net

Proud to be an American Farmer

Watercolor 7x8, copyrighted 2011 by Nita Leger Casey
Working from my recent Maryland trip, wanted to paint them before I loose the interest with the Holidays coming , I love farms and barns , this one caught my attention first the red barn and this farmer must be proud to be an American and I love that !In Maryland the farms are so clean and well kept ,wish it was like that everywhere.
I am also working very hard for our two open house week ends in December , I am making beautiful paste paper ,good for scrap booking also making small journals , they all will be at the studio for sale .
this watercolor is available by emailing me nlcasey@charter.net , it would make a nice present for someone who collects old farms .

Artist statement

Artist statement

I am an Artist who has painted most of my life and enjoy every minute of it. My journey in the art world continually evolves keeping up with the time, I paint in many different medium and love them all. My collection of work is primarily in oils and I use watercolors for commissions, illustrations, and pastels for my own pleasure. My love for architecture shows in my work and many have compared my style with Edward Hopper. I feel honored to be compared with such wonderful artist. I paint daily in the studio and plein air when weather permits. I try to paint from life as much as possible. Last year I gave up teaching art after thirty years of private classes and, now enjoy my former student’s accomplishment in the arts. Many collectors around the world own my work and hope many more will in the future.

The best is yet to come – enjoy my journey!

Handy Hints to Successful Art Buying Online

You can make your online art purchasing experiences a lot of fun, and stress-free, if you just take a few moments to follow some tried-and-tested advice.
These hints will give you the very best chance of finding quality works of art, and receiving the art in perfect condition.

1) If you see a piece of art you like on a favorite artist's Blog, don't be afraid to request a couple more photos of the work. Most artists will happily oblige. You might like to see close-up detail of some section... or perhaps an image to confirm the coloring is consistent.

2) Look for the artist's email address. Apart from a direct email contact, artists often post contact phone numbers. They do this for a reason. They would like you to phone them. So do it! If you'll feel better talking to a 'real person' make the call. But I would always recommend making direct email contact with the artist.It's helpful to have a line of communication from the point when you make your purchase, to the point when the work is dispatched to you. Most artists also would like the opportunity to follow up and ensure the work has arrived safely. Don't simply place your order and make your payment. Take the opportunity to communicate with the artist. It will make the whole process run more smoothly.

3) Consider purchasing more than one piece of art at a time.If you fall in love with the work of a particular artist, consider purchasing a piece and leaving it with the artist. Then, when you see another work by the same artist you wish to purchase, ask for both pieces to be sent together. This will reduce freight costs considerably. Most artists will be happy to hold a paid artwork in storage, especially if they realize it's because you wish to purchase a second piece.

4) Email the artist and ask them if they have any artworks not yet posted on their blog.Some artists don't have the time to post every piece on their blog. Or some pieces are displayed, and then taken down after a time. It doesn't hurt to ask the artist to email images of any works they have in their 'stock room'.... and it can be a way to discover secret treasures.
