Foggy Jordan Pond

Foggy Jordan Pond
George King

Jordan Pond is located in Maine's beautiful Acadia National Park. It is a placid body of water surrounded by boulder-strewn beaches, tall pines, fragrant wild flowers, and wild Blueberry bushes. It's picture perfect for painting. While visiting one day, I was captivated by the mood of the place. Calm is the best word to desscribe the atmosphere. And, adding to the almost spirituality fo the surroundings, a late afternoon fog began to slowly roll in over the twin hills across the pond known as the "Bubbles." Camera and sketchbook at the ready, I captured the moment that would result in the painting.
