Lupines at Saint Matthews
Francois de Melogue
2024 | Archival pigment print on archival satin photo paper | 25x17
The lupines come for a few weeks each June, rising out of the roadsides and meadows of Sugar Hill in dense, improbable columns of violet and rose. At Saint Matthews, they have gathered at the church's feet in numbers thick enough to obscure the low fence line and press against the white clapboard siding. The petals catch the soft, diffuse light of a northern morning and hold it — a cool brightness against the painted wood. The steeple climbs above the field's horizon, plain and perpendicular, its white geometry steady against whatever sky the day has offered.
The air at this elevation carries the faint sweetness of lupine in full flower and the underlying damp of soil that has only recently thawed. The blossoms are not delicate up close: each spike is densely packed, the individual florets the size of a thumbnail, their texture waxy and firm. Below them, the compound leaves collect the dew and hold it in small beaded pools. It is a loud, crowded bloom in a quiet place — the church has watched these fields through a hundred such seasons, and the flowers return without ceremony, indifferent to their own extravagance.
Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the Sugar Hill, New Hampshire landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on natural cotton paper to create a print that will last for generations.
Print only, with a 1/4 inch wide white bordering for convenient matting and (or) framing
Unmatted (unmounted) / unframed.
