Acadia National Park in the fall and winter offers magnificent painting opportunities.  With few visitors present, the venues which are often filled with folks enjoying the summer are quiet during these seasons.  Yesterday was no exception, except for the wind!  With three other artist friends I went to Jordan Pond to paint, hoping that the trees would give shelter from the wind.  They did - occasionally!  The light played on the reds and golds in the field leading to Jordan Pond, while The Bubbles provided an excellent back drop, bounding the dark purple/green/blue changing waters of the pond. 

Except when the wind took my paint pallet for a ride, the elements were our friends.  The air was crisp, the sun was mellow and low on the horizon, and we were all toasty warm in layers of winter weather gear.  A day of painting is always good.  A day with good friends, painting at Acadia is exceptional.
