Mount Desert Rocks (click here to bid on this painting)

Mount Desert Rocks
Oil - 12 x 16"
This was painted on my first trip to Mt. Desert Island in 2002 which I've been back to on several occasions since. I can count the number of paintings left from that first trip on one hand, this is one of the last. I was focusing on the rocks in the area around Schooner Head. I was thrilled to be in the footsteps of Frederic Church where he was studying the movement of the ocean and the rocks around Mt. Desert, in the very same area. This area, is now part of Acadia National Park in Maine. By the way, to view other paintings done on this trip, other trips to Maine, and the entire catalog of paintings sold on ebay, you can visit this website: Archive
