Morning Mist at Bailey's Mistake

Early mornings are so lovely downeast! This painting was done on location at Bailey's Mistake last summer.

This painting is oil on mounted canvas, 8 X 8 and is framed in a 2" gold frame. If you are interested in purchasing it, please email me. melanie.farmer@gmail.com. The price is $169 plus Maine tax.

Evening at Tide Mill Farm

The evening light is simply awesome at Tide Mill Farm but it changes rapidly. The trick is to work fast. The more plein air painting I do the more able I am to capture the moment. This makes for a more impressionist painting, but to me, that is what it is all about. The moment, the mood, the lingering shadows, the softness of colors. It is about making you imagine that you are there or bringing forth a memory for you of such a time that you also spent an evening beside the tidal bay waters.

I have only just left there and already am eager to return and paint more. We had a grand time painting, exploring, visiting. What more could anyone ask?

If you are interested in this 10 X 8 oil on panel, please email me. melanie.farmer@gmail.com It is $169 framed or $149 unframed.

A Painting A Day - Sunrise at Whiting Bay, Maine

Here are some paintings from Cobscook Bay, which is near Lubec, Maine. It is a breathtakingly lovely place. There is never a lack of a place to paint. Whether the fog is in or out, it is still so beautiful. For this painting I got up very early and looked out over two islands jutting out in low tide. After I finished the painting, I was able to walk out there. It was actually quite a climb getting to the top of it. This one SOLD the day I got back from Lubec. I'll post another bay painting tomorrow. If you are interested in purchasing a bay painting, please email me. Melanie Farmer paintings are internationally copyrighted.
