| "September Squall Over Mt. Desert", Oil on Linen 28" x 44" |
For years I have wanted to
paint the view from Islesford to Mt. Desert. I had an exciting time last
fall painting on Islesford. One day it was very blustery and all of a
sudden the sky started to darken and this wild squall descended upon us.
I wanted to capture the squall as it moved in on this glorious day.
In minutes everything was grey and wet. Below is my initial block
in.

In the sky I wanted to
capture the layers of atmosphere and the way the clouds spilled over from one
to another. It was a bit of a balance between the impending storm and the
gorgeous day that was diminishing every second.
