Cottages comes in all shapes, some nicer then other, but I always see the beauty of a structure and  think of the lives who have lived there. Sometimes I go back to that same place and it is gone ,they have replaced it with big house,and feel sad ! This scene  of a cottage and Spanish Moss was in a small town called Bluffton SC, I couldn't find that little cottage again !  
it is available $100.00 matted and shipped ,email me: nlcasey@charter.net

Southern Hospitality
Watercolor 5x7 (c) 2011
Nita Leger Casey

while visiting South Carolina this past week end ,I took lots of reference photos of the Old South , the historical houses which I love , if the walls could talk in this little guest house !
The progress is coming to this little town , it has changed a lot in the last five years , I hope they keep the quintessence of it , many houses are razed to put a new one , and the Country side is growing with Gated communities .
I think I captured the Spanish moss on the live oaks , some of those trees are just beautiful .
This little gem is available , email me nlcasey@charter.net

The Irish cottage, copyrighted 2009
oil 10x10 on canvas , painted on all sides

This is the cottage where some of the cousins used to live , in a small town on the ring of Kerry, when my son was younger, like 30 years ago , we would spend our vacations there and he used to say , I love it here because everybody knows us ! when the relatives used to come from America it was a big deal , I think all of that has changed , but it sure was fun to step back in time, and I am glad all my children and grand children have experienced both side of their roots , Ireland and France. My younger son used to say he was Farish,he made it up .
I always take commission work , if you have a photo of a house that means lots of memories to you , contact me ,nlcasey@charter.net

Cottage on the Bay of Fundy Sold

I am posting this painting between storms , I had to shut down my computers a few times today.
I worked in the gallery most of the day , just to put a lot of things back together after a week of children around, separating paintings for different shows ,framing etc... just a regular day of work as an artist . If painting was the only thing we had to do ,it would be great!

I painted this scene on location on a very hot day last year,

Cottage on the hill
This was a study, done on location this past summer, for a larger painting ,witch I later painted. but sometimes the sketch captures exactly what you wanted, and this was the case, the end of the day with a bright sun light on the cottage . I love to do those small sketches on location just about anywhere , with no large set up. I am hoping to achieved this next week in France

tomorrow I will drive to take my show down , it has been a month! it sure went fast.

The show will be in Hollis, NH for the month of June.
