“At once, there is a sense of intense serenity and drama in each. The jagged shore rocks contrast immediately with the peaceful waters, holding, cradling soft reflections of the far mountains,” shares Sanders. “The splashes of autumn red and orange add contrast, contradiction, and counterpoint. It’s like hot pepper on sunny eggs.”

Dinner at Water’s Edge – William B. Hoyt’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
The challenge of painting flames, steam, sunset, and all those boats and my personal connection to the place and the event all contributed to making this my favorite recent painting, other than the one I’m working on right now, is always my current favorite.
Elevation – Julie Houck’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“I love the clouds’ nuances against the sky and the way the clouds seem to move and lift
you up and into the painting. I chose to juxtapose the clouds against a darker sky, to intensify this dynamic.”
Beach Stones #8 – Alex Dunwoodie’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“My favorite is Beach Stones #8,” says Alex Dunwoodie. “I love the tumbled rocks along shorelines; the mix of colors and textures. Sitting and studying the stones is calming to me.”
Trees Along the Winter Marsh – Margaret Gerding’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“The bare branches allow for some breathtaking views not seen during other months, hence the creation of Trees Along the Marsh. This painting is based on a walk I took in Wells down by the harbor and is a winter reminder to keep looking.”
Tango at Sunset – John LeCours’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“Even though there is a loneliness to this piece, there is also a feeling of future hope and eternal life,” says LeCours. ” Symbolizing the Tree of Life and an existential vibe that is inherent in this composition.”

A Bit of Escape – Craig Mooney, A Solo Show at Maine Art Hill
“I imbue these semi-abstract renderings of place with universal emotions. These works are meant to bring peace to those who view them,” Mooney shares. “They are a gentle reminder that life goes on and assure that there is cosmos amid this chaos.”
