  Happy New year everyone! this is my first painting of the year, I woke this morning and a row of doves where on the railing just like this ,it was very cold in the teens but the sun was shining ,so I think they were sunbathing ,tomorrow they will be at the feeder eating like crazy ,snow is coming during the night and it looks like a big one!
I had a great week with all the family ,kids and grandchildren, it was wonderful to be all together , the only bad thing is we eat way too much!
So now back to painting and reorganized my gallery and studio .
Again wishing everyone a wonderful new year for 2014!

Nita Leger Casey
 I was thinking a few years ago I painted in the White Mountains of NH, It was so cold but beautiful, this is a painting I had done then from the small village below the Inn were we stayed, at the time it did remind me of the Adro Hibbard paintings I had seen in magazines, since then I have seen over 150 of them last fall in Rockport, MA, I must say I really love his work, but then again I love New England! We are waiting for more snow tomorrow more paintings to be done!
this painting is sold.

Winter path

Pastel 6x8

(C) 2012

Nita Leger Casey

Well winter has arrived in New England, we have a nice white blanket of snow, I do love the look of it ,it has a magical look about it and for a pastel artist, I think it's perfect! It was also perfect for my grandchildren who came over for the Christmas week, being from Maryland they sure had fun going sledding, now as for me I love the look but i don't like to walk on the icy part that comes with it, I did not mind it when I was younger, but now I am always afraid I will fall, the fun of getting older ! Yesterday Clancy and i decided to go for a car ride instead and took some beautiful photos of steams, woods,paths etc.. so i hope to work from then in the week to come, I might go back to some spots to start them as well and finish them at the studio, will see what the weather looks like .

This one is available for $100.00 free shipping in the US. email me nlcasey@charter.net

Can't believe it has been a week since I posted, Christmas has come and gone and I am just getting to post some work I had to do, this was a painting for my Grandson Brandon who has two small dogs , Bella who is a  cute pop who was rescued from a dumpster, and Bullet a baby husky about the same size as Bella right now, she needed a friend! I knew he would love a painting of them .
The painting is actually brighter, I made the mistake of not taking a second photo before I gave it to him, Happy to say the gift was well received, on his facebook page he said it was his best gift, made me very happy to hear.
