 The Bubbles - twin mountains that lie at the end of Jordan Pond at Acadia National Park - are visually too alike for a painting. My goal in redesigning the landscape was to make one peak slightly different from the other. Here is a photo I took yesterday.
Here is a painting I did last summer - the result of a plein air study combined with photographs. I wanted to make the left Bubble recede since it's slightly farther away, so I put a glaze of opaque white over the distant mountain and obscured the top with a cloud.
"The Bubbles At Jordan Pond" Watercolor and Acrylic on paper 11x14.
More to come in the following days. Oh, and the large rock at the bottom was actually there last year - it's still there now, but the water level is higher.

The spruce tree could have been a little less perfect, but the placement of it and the other darks is great.

I usually paint a larger version of my watermedia paintings with oil. When I do, I'll be sure to take your advice into consideration.

It's hard to read the black text on the dark purple background to see what you're saying. I enjoy reading your e-letters and your articles in Watercolor magazine.

This is supposed to show up as white text on a medium blue background. Is anyone else seeing black on dark purple?
Please let me know.
