For
me, painting is an analogy for life: a balance of risk and control, knowing when to go with the flow, knowing when to stop. I started painting several years ago as an antidote to my crazy job in high tech, never dreaming it would change my life.
Recently I moved to Maine with my husband Dan Nygaard (of Dan's Flower Farm) to have more time to paint. Since then, I have established my studio/gallery, Art @ the Flower Farm, had numerous solo shows, made many new art-related friends, and sent many, many
paintings off to new homes in private and corporate collections around the world. Please come visit if you find yourself in downeast Maine!
Enjoy! And please send me your feedback.
I'D LOVE TO PAINT YOUR VIEW!
Have a favorite spot in downeast Maine? Invite me to come to your place; I'll paint what catches my eye. You get first pick of what I produce. No purchase obligation. Makes a fabulous gift! Call or email for details. Now accepting 2009 requests.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO GALLERY AND FLOWER FARM: From Blue Hill, head south on Rt. 15. At the junction of Rt. 15 and Rt. 172 (top of Tenney Hill, Tradewinds Marketplace) turn left on Rt. 172. After a mile or so, Rt. 175 splits off to the left towards Brooklin; stay straight on Rt.172. After about 5 miles you will come to an open blueberry barren, water on your left, Sedgwick town line towards the top of the hill. Soon you'll come to Sedgwick Storage on your right. You'll pass Pertville Road on the right. The next intersection is Old County Road; The Granite Shop in on the right-hand corner. We are the second signed driveway on the left; the blue street sign says FLower Farm Lane. There's a hanging sign for Dan's Flower Farm/Art @ the Flower Farm and a tan shingled house by the road. We're in the shingled barn down behind the house.
Framing,
Payment, & Shipping
All oil and acrylic paintings are unframed (unless otherwise noted) with painted edges, ready to hang. Most watercolors are available framed or unframed. I use only museum-quality metal or wooden frames and archival mats.
To determine the price of shipping, send me your zip code by email and I'll email you back with the full amount, including sales tax (ME residents only).
I accept MasterCard, VISA, personal checks, and money orders, payable to Leslie Anderson. Send payment
to Leslie Anderson Fine Art, 8 Flower Farm Lane, Sedgwick ME 04676. For credit-card orders, it's best to call me at 207.359.2047 with the card number rather than send it by email.
Once I've received your payment, I'll ship your painting UPS.
If you are within a two-hour drive of Sedgwick, I'll gladly bring a selection of paintings for you to preview in your home or office at no obligation.
