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.
