Warming the Cliffs of Acadia

22.5” x 32”

One of our favorite places to visit is Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island in Maine. We’ve been there 3 times and have enjoyed exploring the rocky coast. The rocks appear to have generous quartz content which reflects the natural light. Sine that light changes, depending on the weather and sky color, the rocks can appear cooler or warmer, depending on the atmospheric conditions. On one early morning trek, we noticed that these rocks had much warmer tones where they faced the yellows and oranges of a sunrise. I also wanted to show how the horizon line is obscured and seems to disappear into the early morning mist.
