Maine - The Horns, North Branch of Dead River

This is the second painting from the Causeway at the North Branch of the Dead River. Late in the day a big cloud came over, darkening "The Horns" making them stand out against the softness of the afternoon and look so magnificent. A lone red kayak added to the scene with two people paddling slowly down the river. Many blackbirds entertained me with thier songs while enjoying the marshy area. It was a lovely time to be painting that scene and the bugs weren't too bad.

This is an oil on panel, 10 X 8. If you are interested in purchasing this painting, please email me. melanie.farmer@gmail.com $169 framed in a 2” gold frame (plus shipping and, if in Maine, sales tax).

Bigelow Range and Cathedral Pines paintings

Cathedral Pines is a lovely family campground in the town of Eustis, Maine. The sites on the North Branch of the Dead River have fantastic views. I did several paintings there and will post them here on my blog. The first one is done from the Causway where the road curves around the bend in the river and crosses over it. I set up in the back of my jeep with plenty of bug spray applied. It was a misty day and before long it started to rain and the painting became soft and misty looking. It shows the Bigelow Range with the Horns and Cranberry Mountain. Both of which I had climbed a couple of years ago.
