" A Boston Spring day"

original watercolor 6x8 copyrighted 2010

Nita Leger Casey

I am really having fun with these spring scenes of Boston , I am lucky I was able to capture the beauty of the city with my weekly trips in town , I always wanted to do this but never took the time . The second thing I am enjoying is painting with my watercolor , it's a medium I always loved and was using it mostly with my greeting cards illustrations ,and doing the plein air in other medium , and now with the good weather I know I will be doing more pastels outside. Galleries do not like to show watercolors ,they don't want to deal with the glass and framing , so being on line you can buy directly from the artist ,so collectors this is your chance .

Another wonderful Spring day, to come to an end for the week end , I guess we need the April showers for the flowers . I will be dog sitting my grand dog and mine for the next few days , I wonder if the dogs will let me paint or being needy and demand all my attention .
This window is a bit unusual being on the second floor, the spring flowers made it special . I will be going back to Boston next Tuesday , really want to get some good restaurant scenes .

Here is my # 2 dress shop , fun to paint ! wish I was young again to wear these cute dresses , I love dresses , and use to wear lots of them , now our way of life is so casual , I miss it !
