Another dream, places to go without worrying, sure hope it will come soon, to be free to go where we want. The North End of Boston with it's rich Italian heritage, with wonderful bakeries and restaurants . I can smell the bread and the wonderful aromas that comes out of these places, as I am writing this.
So I will dream a little longer just to be safe !
This painting is available,framed as well . $275.00, email me for more details .nlcasey@charter.net

The restaurant

6x6 watercolor (c)2012 Nita Leger Casey
I painted at my friend Paula's studio yesterday, I just had bought a small square watercolor block of paper and wanted to try it, I always carry photos I have taken in my travel, this one was at a restaurant in Portsmouth, I just liked the way the light and shadows hit the wall, wanting to do more interiors, it was the choice for my daily painting .

Nita Leger Casey

Sunday is not my favorite day ,I always seem to get get the blues unless I am out somewhere , today I really was prepared to take a drive to chase the Sunday blues but the weather was so overcast and cold we choose not to waste gas , not knowing how the sidewalks will be where I wanted to go , my destination was to be Newburryport ,the town I mentioned yesterday .
As you see I am on my street scenes mode ,this was from a photo I took in Savannah , I love that town the old part of course ,I have visited many times ,it is famous for it's special Southern cooking lady and this is her restaurant , let's see if anyone recognized the place ? the parks are great and the waterfront very tourist and funky , my grand daughter loves the candy store there . Tomorrow is valentine's day , be good to your love ones .
Happy Valentine's to all my followers !

Artist statement

Artist statement

I am an Artist who has painted most of my life and enjoy every minute of it. My journey in the art world continually evolves keeping up with the time, I paint in many different medium and love them all. My collection of work is primarily in oils and I use watercolors for commissions, illustrations, and pastels for my own pleasure. My love for architecture shows in my work and many have compared my style with Edward Hopper. I feel honored to be compared with such wonderful artist. I paint daily in the studio and plein air when weather permits. I try to paint from life as much as possible. Last year I gave up teaching art after thirty years of private classes and, now enjoy my former student’s accomplishment in the arts. Many collectors around the world own my work and hope many more will in the future.

The best is yet to come – enjoy my journey!

Buy Art Online

Handy Hints to Successful Art Buying Online

You can make your online art purchasing experiences a lot of fun, and stress-free, if you just take a few moments to follow some tried-and-tested advice.
These hints will give you the very best chance of finding quality works of art, and receiving the art in perfect condition.

1) If you see a piece of art you like on a favorite artist's Blog, don't be afraid to request a couple more photos of the work. Most artists will happily oblige. You might like to see close-up detail of some section... or perhaps an image to confirm the coloring is consistent.

2) Look for the artist's email address. Apart from a direct email contact, artists often post contact phone numbers. They do this for a reason. They would like you to phone them. So do it! If you'll feel better talking to a 'real person' make the call. But I would always recommend making direct email contact with the artist.It's helpful to have a line of communication from the point when you make your purchase, to the point when the work is dispatched to you. Most artists also would like the opportunity to follow up and ensure the work has arrived safely. Don't simply place your order and make your payment. Take the opportunity to communicate with the artist. It will make the whole process run more smoothly.

3) Consider purchasing more than one piece of art at a time.If you fall in love with the work of a particular artist, consider purchasing a piece and leaving it with the artist. Then, when you see another work by the same artist you wish to purchase, ask for both pieces to be sent together. This will reduce freight costs considerably. Most artists will be happy to hold a paid artwork in storage, especially if they realize it's because you wish to purchase a second piece.

4) Email the artist and ask them if they have any artworks not yet posted on their blog.Some artists don't have the time to post every piece on their blog. Or some pieces are displayed, and then taken down after a time. It doesn't hurt to ask the artist to email images of any works they have in their 'stock room'.... and it can be a way to discover secret treasures.
