The Unveiling, Acadia

This was painted from my memory and imagination.  I envisioned the scene looking east from Cadillac Mountain as the sun is rising, and the fog is lifting.  I've painted Acadia National Park often enough to be able to re-create the topography.   I think the view from here is one of the most beautiful in the entire country.   The cairns are used to mark the trails and are especially useful in the frequent fog the often envelopes the Maine coast. As well as being a depiction of the rocky mountain, Frenchman Bay, schooners, a freighter, islands etc. it is also a study of light, form, space, and color interpreted through paint on canvas.
