"Sun going down the mountain" pastel 8x10, copyrighted 2009
Nita Leger Casey

I painted this scene last week in Maine while at the pond , at dusk before the sun goes down , it hits the mountain like paint brush , I sat there at the edge of the pond with my pastels trying to capture the scene , it was fun to do and had to be quick , if I had taken a photo I wouldn't of capture the same feeling , nothing beats painting plein air ! of course we can always do it, but i sure enjoy my times in Maine when I can . Today I spent the entire day framing for a local show this Saturday at Seasons at Calmore Antique and art show in Dunstable Massachusetts , This is my 5th year doing it , if you are in the area stop by.

Maine sky

In Maine for a few days, I love this State! every time I come here I feel like I am home , Even though I was born and raised in France of course I have been coming here for twenty five years , maybe that's the reason ! well this was a warm day today over 90 o degree today .

I worked this pastel from a photo of the many skies I get here at the cabin.I stayed in because , one thing the bugs are out and they are mean!
