October Light, Fleury Maple Hill Farm
Francois de Melogue
2025 | Archival pigment print on archival satin photo paper | 25x17
The gravel road descends in a slow curve, loose stone catching the flat October light, pale as unpolished silver. At the bottom of the hill, the farm settles into the valley: a red barn weathered to the color of old brick, a concrete silo wearing a domed cap of oxidized metal, outbuildings leaning slightly under the weight of accumulated seasons. The maples flanking the road have burned through their full range, lemon yellow at the edges, deep amber in the middle, a hard persimmon red where the branches thin against the sky. Nothing is quite still. The leaves have that particular mid-October looseness, not yet falling but no longer holding on with conviction.
Beyond the farm, Franklin County opens in long horizontal layers. Meadows the color of worn felt give way to woodlots in full riot, then to the blue-gray shoulders of the distant hills. A mountain peak rises above the tree line, still green at its flanks, darkening toward the summit. The clouds above are the soft cumulus of a clearing afternoon, white against a sky gone pale and slightly hazy with the season. There is a particular quality of light in Vermont in October, low and oblique, that makes ordinary farm buildings look considered, as if they had been placed there deliberately, which in a sense they were.
Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the Vermont landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on archival satin photo 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.
