Down the Road, Waitsfield
Francois de Melogue
2024 | Archival pigment print on archival satin photo paper. | 43 x 29

The road climbs out of the valley floor in a long, easy curve, its yellow center lines steady against the dark asphalt. The air holds the particular chill of a summer morning not yet committed to warmth, the grass on either side heavy with the night's moisture. At the shoulder, a mailbox lists sideways, patient and unremarked. Ahead, the pavement crests and disappears, giving way to whatever comes next.

What comes next is the barn: a deep, worn red against the green, flanked by two silver silos wrapped in years of climbing vine. Behind them, the Mad River Valley assembles in layers. Dark ridgelines hold their fog low. The sky is a soft, bruised orange, not yet decided on the day. The mountains stand back from all of it, blue and uncommitted. For a moment, before the light shifts and the engines start, the whole valley is simply still.

Available in three sizes, each signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity:

Fine Art Print 25 x 17 paper, 24 x 16 image | Limited Edition of 50 | $295

About the print
Each piece is made on location and printed by hand in my Vermont studio with archival pigment inks rated for over a hundred years of color stability. The 25 x 17 is printed on Premium Satin paper. The 43 x 29 and 61 x 41 are printed on Luster Photo Paper, 260gsm. Each print carries a 0.5 inch archival white border, ships rolled in a heavy tube, and arrives with a signed certificate.

About my work
I spent thirty years cooking in farm-to-table kitchens before returning to the camera. My work is held in private collections across the United States and Europe. A traveling exhibition is currently on view at The University of Vermont Medical Center and Burlington City Hall in Vermont, and my photographs were recently included in the 35th Annual Green Mountain Photography Show. I am represented in Vermont by Artisan's Gallery in Waitsfield, ArtHound in Essex, Artists in Residence in Saint Albans, The Emile Gruppe Gallery, and Remarkable Things in Stowe.

Custom sizes and framing available on request.

Materials used:

Archival pigment print on Luster Photo Paper, 260gsm. Shot on a Canon EOS R5 Mark II. Printed in studio on a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 with museum-grade archival pigment inks.
