My wife and I spent this week in Bar Harbor, Maine, and exploring Acadia National Park by car, foot and through swimming. We met up with relatives and friends along the way. We even ran into good friends from Vermont who happened to be walking along the sidewalk in the downtown area.
One of the hikes we took was around Jordan Pond, which was well traveled. This little plein air was done not far from the trail. It was a challenge finding a spot to get situated that was not in the sun. The Bubbles are in the background, which are two small rocky mountains. There was quite a bit of wildlife coming and going around me. There were many people, gulls, and ducks, as well as small schools of fish in the shallow water near my feet.
When plein air painting I seem to arrive at colors that approximate the natural scene. This is not easy to do as the light is constantly changing, so I am proud of that. However, I feel the foreground needs a little more work to solidify the picture. I could have worked a little longer, but my stomach was calling for lunch.
