Victor Leger’s Maine landscapes at Littlefield Gallery

From June 19 through July 16, Littlefield Gallery in Winter Harbor will display the largest body of Victor Leger’s Maine landscapes thus far. The work is a variety of coastal scenes on the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park.Though the paintings are all realistically represented, they diverge greatly in terms of daylight, weather, composition, and sizes. “I have been experimenting to find new ways to hold the viewers’ attention. I believe this area has 10 lifetimes of inspiration for an artist.”

When exploring a location for a new painting, Leger watches for the light to overwhelm him. Once he finds that spot, he has rarely been disappointed in its ultimate expression. As every plein air painter knows, working quickly is imperative. “My life’s mission is to give that same sense of magic to the viewer.” The gallery is open daily from 11-5:30.
