Bar Harbor, Maine

The last time I visited Bar Harbor, Maine, during the summer, which was several years ago, this little stretch of beach became etched in my memory. Part of it was the vivid colors of the shoreline, part of it was the rock strewn inlets and the other part was the white sail of a large boat gliding past the evergreens in the distance.

I feel like I got off to a good start with this watercolor. It is the kind of composition which draws the viewer in with the diagonal orientation of the water, enhanced by the landform.

In particular, I like the strong values and linear details on the sand in the foreground. Also, the sky has a warm quality which I don't come upon too often.
