White House Blue Roof – Bethany Harper Williams Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“Part of the new series I’ve been exploring, Near and Far, is where I crop off something large and usually graphic in the foreground, then have some detail that pulls the eye to the background,” explains artist Bethany Harper Williams. “I love the contrast of the bold, architectural, graphic, simplistic feel of the house with the serene, calm feel of the water and the activity of the kids on the beach.”
Lower Village Fisherman – Rick Hamilton’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“There is an older piece underneath this one. It was of Greece, another favorite place of mine,” explains Hamilton.”This new piece, however, definitely says ‘Maine’, but it’s fun to know Greece is underneath.”

Channel Drift – Craig Mooney’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“One of my favorite themes is embodied in Channel Drift,” says artist Craig Mooney. “The image of a solitary boat moving slowly toward breaking clouds.”
Every Place I Go, There I Am – Ryan Kohler’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“I had previously hinted at the spots of a deer leaping right off its body, but I embraced that idea with this painting,” shares Kohler. “Energetic swoops of red and orange paint slide easily off her backside, and her white spots intuitively transform into fun paint splatters that dazzle the eye in a confetti-like fashion. Bits of solid, traditional painting mixed with fun and tasteful abstraction is always what I’m striving for, and this one, to me, is right on the money.”
Lemon Zen – R. Scott Baltz’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“My selection for the Fall Favorite is Lemon Zen,” shares artist R. Scott Baltz. “Often, I develop a fondness for a particular painting not so much on the final image but more so on the process, which paved the way to the final image.”
Heavenly Sky, Ogunquit River Footbridge – Claire Bigbee’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“This painting represents what I love most about Ogunquit, which is also where I live,” shares artist Claire Bigbee. “It truly is a heavenly place.”
Clamming at Low Tide – Charles Bluett’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“As winter approaches and the days turn colder, grabbing some steaming fresh clams from the beaches along the New England Coastline is a great pastime with rewards attached,” shares artist Charles Bluett. “These are gifts from the sea that take a low tide and a bit of digging.”
Carousel – Mark Davis’s Fall Favorite on Maine Art Hill
“Each piece was mounted on the end of a wire, giving it a somewhat mechanical feel, but together they created a kind of whimsey that felt to me like the playfulness of Paul Klee’s paintings, which I greatly admire,” shares Davis. “The lines, shapes, and colors are disparate but work together in a sort of poetic harmony. It was quite a small but wonderful change for me and my work.”
