Antique Ford Fairlane
©2015 Nita Leger Casey Antique ford Fairlane ,not sure of the year?
I have two sons who have trained me well, their love of old cars has rubbed off on me, when driving around New England I can spot an old car a mile away. I took a photo of this one in a small neighborhood where we had lived some years back. If this car could talk it would say: I can't wait for Spring ! because I am sick of being in this snow! and this was when we didn't have much snow , by now this poor car must be buried !
This might be the car you always wanted?
This painting is available ,just email me nlcasey@charter.net.

Blue bird and berries
The last few days during our New England snow storms, blue birds have come to visit , I have been fascinated with them and taking a lot of photos and sketching them, every year they do come looking for the Christmas berries I usually have for decoration on my deck .It was snowing like crazy and they had a feast! today I went to the feed store and got more food for them ,they like meal worms hoping this will keep them around.
email me if you are interested in this small painting.

The red shed
© Nita Leger Casey
The last two weeks have been a real challenge living in New England, after receiving 6 feet of snow, I have spent my days cleaning and shoveling snow paths for my dog and a way to get to my chickens. We all complain about the snow of where we are going to put more snow that is coming ! but late this afternoon it was just beautiful to see the late sun hitting the buildings and long shadows across the fields and then a beautiful sunset! I guess as an artist I see beauty in any weather!
This painting was done awhile back, it's a scene in Pepperell, I just love this little red shed!
it is available , email me nlcasey@charter.net

Lonely house in the snow.
©2015 Nita Leger Casey
We have been snowed in! We have had two major snow storm in a week , the snow is as tall as me at some places, today I had to go over a mountain of snow to get to my chickens, poor guys they will be cooped up for awhile. Sunday we did get a nice sunny day so Tim and I took a ride to Plum Island off the coast of Massachusetts, it was beautiful and worth the ride, this lonely house sits at the entrance of the island in the marshland , I think it is abandoned ! I always feel bad when I see it, looks so lonely out there by itself, I am sure in the years past it was a beautiful place,if the walls could talk? I just painted a small watercolor ,this is the second time I have painted this house .I know one day it will be gone ! this small painting is available , just email me .

After the storm!
©2015 Nita Leger Casey
We just had a big snow storm in New England over 30 inches of beautiful white powder. Yesterday while watching the snow falling, taking pictures of birds who came to the feeder by the hundreds, walking back and fourth to see how much snow we were getting, picking at food every time I went by the kitchen, a storm will do that to you! So at one time I decided to sit and paint a little and this is what I did, just a simple winter landscape!
all my paintings are available ,just email me nlcasey@charter.net

Dark sky in Lowell
on paper .©2015
It has been awhile since I posted, I had a husband with a bad cold, a sick chicken and extreme cold in New England left me a bit behind in my work ! the husband is fine ,the chicken didn't make it, but I must get back to my routine. I started painting this today,after the drawing was done I realized it was the wrong paper, I picked up a new paper on the market for oil painting,well watercolor does not work with that ,almost trashed it but after supper decided to experiment with it and used casein paint I think I saved it! a lesson learn with the paper .This is a scene from Lowell very close to my studio . email me if you are interested nlcasey@charter.net

Sketch of a Lowell Mill
Happy New Year to all my followers! may you all have a great year!
This sketch is in preparation to a possible painting ,I need to decide what medium I should do it with, loving most of them sometimes it gets to be a challenge for me to make that big decision. I know they have been painted by many artists before me and many will after me, if you love architecture this is the place! Lowell has a lot of Mills, it make the town very Historical and a destination for summer visitors, all these Mills have been converted into apartments,businesses and studios. if you ever one to visit one come and visit me at my studio at Western Avenue .

Cat in a napkin basket
Nita Leger Casey
This is my cat Mimi who thinks she can fit in a small basket! funny how cats love boxes, baskets and small places . She is not an easy cat to paint, her face being so dark and so many colors. This past week has been busy at my studio with four days open to the public,I got to see many patrons and collectors doing their last minutes shopping . Many paintings found a home, and that is good! email me if you are interested in this watercolor ,you might have a cat that looks like her? nlcasey@charter.net
