Clouds Over Cutler


When I am out driving around looking for a place that speaks to me, I am always hesitant to set up at places that say 'No Trespassing" This is just such a place. I wanted so much to stay and paint but it was so uninviting with numerous signs, that I merely stayed for a few minutes to take photos before I got back into my jeep and sadly drove back down the hill.
Consequently I had to paint this one in my studio back home. But I have been to this spot so many times that I could practically paint it from memory anyway.
It was an especially lovely day with tamerack trees swaying in the wind, the fireweed brilliant, and topped off by big white puffy clouds; therefore I named it "Clouds Over Cutler". It is a 10x10, oil on mounted canvas, framed in a 2" gold frame. If you are interested in purchasing this 'artist's favorite', please email me at melanie.farmer@gmail.com. It is $199 plus Maine tax.

Cove Road, Cutler


This painting was done from my trip downeast last summer. I was trying to find a way to get to some hiking trails on the coast and on my return, this amazing view was in front of me. It was a very narrow road with no place to stop and paint. So I pulled over for a few minutes and took some photos. But I love that place so much, I think that will be my very first stop when I go down there again this summer. And I will look around a bit more to find a spot to set up and paint plein aire!
This piece is a 10 X 8 oil on mounted canvas framed in a 2" gold frame. If you are interested in purchasing it, please email me. melanie.farmer@gmail.com. The price is $179 plus Maine tax.

Sugarloaf and the Carrabassett River


This is an awesome scene of Sugarloaf Mountain, but one has to hike down thru the puckerbrush to get to the frozen Carrabassett River to view it. In the winter, I take a photo and paint in my studio. If you don't want to make the hike, you can enjoy this view in the comfort of your home. It is an oil on canvas, sized 10 X 10 and framed in a 2" gold frame. This is for sale for $199 plus Maine tax.

A Sugarloaf Evening


As you drive north on Route 27, from Farmington, you round a corner and suddenly appearing in front of you is Sugarloaf Mountain! She stands there majestically,boldly inviting. And you may exclaim "O My Gosh!", hence the name of the corner. It is very impressive and if you are a skiier; you can't wait to get up on those trails.
I have painted this in summer and winter, this is a late season period, when the snow still clings to the mountain for those last ski runs and has mostly melted from the fields. A reminder of good times and another winter in Maine.
This painting is an oil on canvas, 11 X 8, and is framed in a 2" gold frame. It is for sale for $199 plus Maine tax. If you are interested in purchasing it from me, please email me at melanie.farmer@gmail.com.
