"Safe Harbor- Bass Harbor Head Light",16x20, oil on linen
I had sold the smaller painting that I did of this lighthouse so here is another painting that I just completed of Bass Harbor Head Light on Mount Desert Island in Maine. On the day that we visited Acadia National Park, the light quality was just beautiful, but towards sunset it became cloudy and chilly. The colors of the rocks and the terrain in the park and throughout the area are nothing less than spectacular. The rocks all have quartz in them so they take on an orange-pinkish tinge when the sun is low in the sky that is quite something to see.
Here is one of the photos we took from Cadillac Mountain:
It is quite a beautiful park, where the mountains meet the sea!It feels good to actually enjoy painting again. The inspiration that I received while vacationing in New England, will probably last me for quite a while!
Note, if you wish to purchase this painting, please feel free to send me an email at maryannejacobsen@aol.com. If the painting doesn't sell, it will go into a two month solo exhibit that I will be doing at The North Port Art Center from Nov. 1st to January 1st.
