My paintings are mostly in Maine. They reflect my feelings for this beautiful state, where I am so blessed to live. Every day is a gift, every day has beauty here. Just small affordable paintings, no prints.

Jim's Head Triplets
This is a painting of Wallace Cove from Jim's Head in Lubec. On this day, it was very cold there and Linda and I sat wrapped in hooded sweatshirts and jackets, shivering as we painted. Most ironically, and unbeknownst to us at the time, the rest of Maine was very, very hot and humid; people were sweltering everywhere in 100+ degrees! So we considered ourselves fortunate to have escaped the heat of the day. If you are interested in purchasing this 8 X 6 gouache on panel, unframed, please contact me via email. melanie.farmer@gmail.com. $100 plus tax for Maine residents. All

I have been an artist since I was 2, drawing pictures on the walls with crayons. (my cave art) Now I am painting my lovely home state of Maine, its colorful and peaceful lakes, mountains, farms, fields, people and homes.
When I was 8 or 9, my grandmother encouraged my art by giving me a Jon Gnagy Learn to Draw kit for Christmas, for which I am ever grateful. With that and some technique classes and workshops, I have been largely self-taught.
Now I am retired and still learning, as is true with most artists. There is always a new way to see things, new tools, new materials.
