Maine is a big place, Bar Harbor is big too.  Acadia could easily consume your entire stay. I spent a week on the island and saw only parts.  Great place to paint.   Cadillac mountain is nice for a view, and there is a nice walk near Bubble mountain with a place to swim.  You have a partial toll road and traffic in some places, but there is a lot to see.

It is hard to balance getting to see a place and touring through an area.  either way you will miss out on something.  I feel less is more sometimes.

Anyway, have some lobster and blueberry pie for dessert.

Your varying titles is interesting. I hop around titles too. I get bores easy and have too many ideas. Against all recommendations, I can't complete a cohesive body of work or a series of more than 2 or 3. "Golden Apples" is my favorite, by the way.

thanks. I mostly painted abstracts and about 3 years ago tried plein air painting and loved it. Now I am known as the plein air finger painter around here! AH! actually just recently sold one of my last brush pieces! All I have left now are the finger paintings. I am hoping to get my "wo-di" site updated soon. I have alot of work not on there and most of what is is sold! YEAH!!!
Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see more of your work!

That's pretty cool. I have never worked in gold leaf.  I have some stored someplace here in the studio, but, I would spend a good deal of time trying to find it-bought it along time ago.  Haven't used it.  But, your work looks like it has gold leaf in it - I like the combination of the gold and silver together.  Warm and cool side by side.  Now, I am on a mission to try and find where I put mine and to see what things I can make with it.   Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for checking out my blog.  I didn't always have a studio, but I always painted and made a space to paint.  I've painted in many different locations in our various houses.  I appreciate what you're saying about where you paint!  Good luck with your commission piece.  I'll be painting again soon, the school year is winding down. (14 days left, but who's counting?)  I've got a few paintings going right now, just haven't had time to finish them.  Mary Ann
