Jordan Pond

We visited Acadia National Park in
Maine. We did some hiking by Jordan
Pond Shore Trail, which follows the
water's edge. It was an easy hike about
3 1/2 miles (loop) There was two
mountains northeast of the pond which
is called Bubble mountain. If you like
lobster and New England Clam chowder,
or just want to see some beautiful views,
visit Bar Harbor, Maine.!

    thank you SUE for commenting on Jordan Pond.
    I use canson Mi-Teintes #431 on most of my paintings. I never use the front of the paper..always the back.

    Hilda, what a lovely pastel. The scene is so calming and serene, just love it!
    What a coincidence about your trip; at the end of August we were in Bar Harbor visting the breathtaking views of Acadia NP ! I left so inspired that I have a few landscapes that I plan on painting...

    Hilda, this is just beautiful. I've always wanted to visit and to live in Maine. I always think of the rugged coastline when I imagine it. The seafarer's homes with the widow walks...Rather Jessica Fletcher-ish!

    thank you COLETTE for visiting!! I'm glad you went to Bar Harbor so you can see how beautiful it is. We were going to go Whale watching but unfortunately the water was too rough..next time!. I'm looking forward to seeing your future landscape!

    I think rocks and water are very hard to paint, great job. I've never visited up there but what a treat it would be.

    Thanks Hilda for visiting my site and for your nice comments. Your work is very nice--there is a softness and kindness to it. Living in Maine, I am familiar w/Jordan Pond although it's been a while. Acadia is so beautiful! I'll check you again!
