David Little, a resident of Portland, Maine, has been painting the Maine landscape since 1983, and has always been drawn to rugged Katahdin wilderness. He attended the Skowhegan School in 1981 and 1982, and was a recipient of the Carina House fellowship on Monhegan in 1998. Little is represented by Courthouse Gallery Fine Art in Ellsworth and by Thomas Moser Cabinetmakers in Freeport. His work has been included in exhibitions at the Blaine House, Bates College Museum of Art, and the Farnsworth Museum. Little’s experience in the art world is broad—he spent ten years working at the Bayview Gallery in Portland, and he gives critiques, juries art shows, and curates. This is his first book.
David Little’s expertise is obvious.

Little, a Maine artist who has climbed and painted Katahdin for decades, remains in its thrall. Presenting 200 images created over the past 200 years, his book is a colorful study of the artists driven to capture the rugged mountain. This is history at its finest: first-person accounts of wilderness expeditions illustrated with changing views of the mountain, depicted in dozens of paintings and illustrations.
