Wanted to keep working on my watercolor series of Seashore in Massachusetts while it is still fresh in my mind, I travel the back roads of New England all year and always come upon the most beautiful scenery and if I don't paint them right away it gets backed up and I loose the momentum of what I felt that day, the light the season the atmospheric feeling and so on . All my paintings are original, meaning I go to all the places I paint. I feel very lucky to be able paint in beautiful  New England. email me if you are interested in this painting ,it will be matted in a 16x20 matt.

I have been away from my blog for a few days .We had company , Friends from Minnesota who came to visit and see the New England colors  ,the weather was not the best but they had a great time visiting , knowing the area very well has a painter I was able to sent them to many beautiful places . Today it was time to go back to the studio and work on things I wanted to do ,this painting was done from a photo I took last month in Gloucester when the sun was going down ,I knew I wanted to catch this wonderful light reflecting on the boats and building .I think I did it !you will be the judge !

Gloucester harbor is really a great place to see working fishing boats along pleasure boats , boats are always a challenge to do for most artists , so many things on them , only fisherman knows.
I took this photo last Spring , it was like papa ,mama, and baby .
The days are getting longer , the weather is also nicer , in the 50's for this week end , i would say Spring is getting closer!
If you are a collector of watercolors , and of boats , here is your chance to buy an original that will retained it's value . email me nlcasey@charter.net

What a night we had last night! with over 60 miles an hour high winds , the coast had it worst and still have no power in many towns in the area .
I had painted these boats during the week from the town of Gloucester , we had stopped over last week and I took a few photos , I have painted some of these boats before actually on location at a better time of the year like Spring . It's a wonderful town to capture the New England fishing life , these boats have characters, they are like old man who have wrinkles ,they have lots of rust that tell the hard life they go through.
