The last time I went for this long of a drive for some sight-seeing was probably back when I took a trip to Crater Lake in Oregon. However, I was sad to find out that the park was closed when I was there due to snow. Bummer. Well this time on my way to Acadia it was a beautiful day with no closures. My cousin David (one removed) is probably upset with me for not visiting as many National Parks as I could or should have. Acadia will be one of the last ones I see.
What a beautiful hot sunny day. It?s actually not what I wanted. I was hoping for a foggy and misty day, full of that nasty coastal weather. It would have made for better photos. The last few days have been rain, rain, rain. It feels like I?m back in Oregon and Washington. I love the moody weather of the Northern Pacific and Northern Atlantic coasts, some of my favorite places in the country.

Afternoon in Acadia6 x 6", Oils on sealed, primed hardboard$100 unframed via PayPal, free shipping within US (email me for international rates)Every summer, my husband and I go up to Acadia National Park in Maine. We spend at least one day strolling along the beautiful ocean path , enjoying the scenery and ocean breeze while chatting and taking pictures. This painting was done this morning from one of the photographs I took there. I used a couple of paintings that I've done on location there as color references, since pictures never tell the whole story.My palette for this painting was:Cadmium LemonPermanent RoseUltramarine Blue DeepViridianBurnt SiennaTitanium WhiteComparing this painting with the one I did on Saturday, you can see how moving away from the warm red and yellow I used there gave me the crisp, cool colors I needed for the very different light in this painting.On a sad note, I just spoke with a local reporter who told me that the Putnam Arts Council had a serious fire ov
