Reflection, Quechee
Francois de Melogue
2024 | Archival pigment print on metallic lustre fine art paper | 17x25
Dawn at Dewey Pond comes without wind. The water is flat, holding the pale blue of the early sky across its whole surface. A hot air balloon drifts low over the pond, its envelope banded in broad stripes of black, red, orange, yellow, green, and cobalt. The burner has gone quiet. The basket hangs just above the waterline, close enough that the reflection below locks in with precision: every stripe doubled, every edge clean, the whole structure suspended between the sky above and the sky the water has become.
In the middle distance, two smaller balloons climb toward the tree line, their shapes loose and soft against the pines. The hills are dense with summer growth, a dark ridge running behind the reeds fringing the far bank. But the water pulls the eye back. The reflection stretches downward in the same bold sequence of color, the stripes narrowing as they descend toward the apex of the inverted envelope. Light moves in thin filaments across the metallic surface of the pond. At the center of the frame, where basket meets reflection, the image closes on itself, the two halves nearly touching before the morning disperses them.
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 metallic fine art 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
