Beaver Pond

Beaver Pond Rt 17

  As I was driving south along Route 17 from Height of Land, the soft evening light of a late autumn day was settling over the mountains to the west. At the bottom of a big hill I passed this little pond. There were a few vehicles parked there and some men were fishing along the shore. One had his young son with him and he came over to see what I was doing, parked on the opposite side of the road and sitting under the hatch of my Jeep, as I often do when painting plein air. We chatted a bit and then he went on the the business of fishing. 
  This is a lovely spot and I want to return to see it in the early morning light and in different seasons.
  This framed 14x11 oil painting is $229 (plus tax in Maine). Please contact me by email if you wish to purchase it. melanie.farmer@gmail.com.

Day's Last Light, Strong, Maine

The first autumn colors in western Maine come from what the old timers call "swamp maples". These maple trees are small and usually are a bright red. As I was driving home from Rangeley, along Route 4, there was a little meadow overgrown with bushes and small maples, all lit vividly by the setting sun. I knew in an instant that I HAD to paint that scene so I stopped and took many photos of it. It was so spectacularly brilliant that several others stopped to take photos too.

I think the mountain behind it is Day Mountain but I have to verify that with the locals. Hence the name, Day's Last Light, is suitable in in two ways.

Kibby Mountain in Autumn, Western Maine

As I was driving along, this mountain loomed up in front of me, glowing red and orange as the setting sun shone on the leaves still clinging to the trees. I have been up on top of Kibby (near Rangeley) several times in the winter on a snowmachine but it was a real treat to see it in it's fall dress!
