When I visit Acadia, one of my favorite walks is from Sand Beach to Otter Cliffs. This is one of my favorite views. It's just to the left of the Thunder Hole view - looking back at Sand Beach. I especially enjoyed painting the rocks but had to make up the immediate foreground because it was a paved path for park visitors. While I depict a place realistically, my goal is add a little romance to the scene - therefore I call my style "Romantic Realism". It's the way I feel about the place combined with what is actually there.
