This is another image from one of the greatest days of my life. My wife and I rented a little Boston Whaler speed boat and cruised around Southwest Harbor and Somes Sound in Main. We docked on Sutton Island (the source of this image) and explored on foot. We found a lady selling sea glass mobiles made from local sea glass and tied together with string from her dad's old lobster traps. I've thought about this painting for a long time, and I think it turned out well.

My wife and I toured the coast of Maine from Portland to Bar Harbor a few years back.  My favorite day of the trip was when we rented an old wooden Boston Whaler and explored the waters around Southwest Harbor, part of Great Desert Island; the island where Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are located.  We saw lots of seals and wildlife, and we docked at an island that is only accessible by boat.  We found a lady selling sea-glass mobiles, one of which we purchased.

Somes Sound cuts directly into the heart of Mount Desert Island along the western edge of Acadia. The day was crystal clear with occasional white, puffy clouds casting shadows on the water and mountains.  I tried to capture the peacefulness of the scene in this painting.
