Schooner Head Print
From $12.00
Acadia watercolor seascape showing waves crashing against the rocks at Schooner Head in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Transport yourself to a perfect summer day in Bar Harbor, Maine. This watercolor seascape shows waves crashing against the rocks along Schooner Head in Acadia National Park. It makes you feel like you’re standing on the cliff, looking out at the beautiful scenery.
Schooner Head overlook marks the start of the Ocean Drive stretch in Acadia. The name comes from a white stain on the cliff that looks like a schooner (best seen by boat). The classic book, “Bar Harbor Days” has some fun stories about Anemone Cave and other places in Bar Harbor.
A Schooner Head print would make a perfect gift for someone who loves Acadia. Buy another for yourself and add a welcoming touch to your coastal guest bedroom decor.
This beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine seascape art print looks exactly like an original watercolor painting. See other coastal Maine scenes in my Seascapes Collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a giclee print?
Giclee prints are archival reproductions made from a high-resolution digital scan with special pigment-based inks and 100% cotton paper. The resulting print has incredibly rich, vibrant colors and details that perfectly mirror the transparent qualities of the original watercolor. A giclee should maintain its color integrity for more than 180 years when displayed under glass, out of the sun.
How closely do the prints match the original watercolors?
I do all of my own painting, scanning, and printing right here in my studio. It’s really important to me that the giclee prints match the original paintings as closely as is possible. In fact, I work at color matching until I can’t tell the difference unless I’m handling the paper.
How accurate are the colors online?
The physical art matches what I see on my computer, but it might look slightly different on yours. For example, colors are a little more muted on my phone than on my Mac. Also keep in mind also that the smaller the image, the sharper it appears online and in person.
Do you offer digital downloads?
My artwork is available as original watercolors and giclee prints. I don’t offer digital files, licensing, or other uses of my art because I can’t control the quality of the final product. It’s really that simple. It’s important that any reproductions maintain the integrity of the original art.
How do I know which size print to purchase?
I recommend taping pieces of computer paper together to create a mockup the same size as your art. You can even tape it to your wall with blue painter’s tape to get a sense of scale. When you’re thinking about the frame size, you should add an additional 2-4″ on each side to account for the frame width. (I also recommend this technique for gallery walls.)
I’m happy to help walk you through this process – just contact me.
Do you offer custom framing?
I don’t provide framing services myself, but I’m happy to make suggestions. Most of my prints are ready to slip into a standard sized frame (with or without a mat). It’s generally best if the person(s) who will be living with the frame participate in the selection.
Do you have an open studio?
I wish! My studio is pretty cozy, so the best place to view my art is on my website or at Small Wonder Gallery in Camden. I include inspiration photos to help you visualize art in your home.
Can I make changes to my order?
Possibly – please contact me immediately to see if your order has already been processed.

I purchased 2 beautiful prints. Both arrived promptly and in great condition. The artist was quick in responding and issuing a refund when I had accidently ordered the wrong size for one of the prints. They’re wonderful, like having windows into Acadia from my home!

I whole heartedly recommend this wonderful Etsy shop, Beth Whitney Studio! I just received my new beautiful painting of the Maine coast and absolutely love it! This is my second purchase from my favorite Etsy shop and I am so incredibly delighted once again! Beth, the owner/artist is amazing. She takes great pride in her work and provides OUTSTANDING customer service! I greatly appreciate her excellent communication and kind heart. The gorgeous art was meticulously packaged with a beautiful coastal “Thank You” notecard and sweet note. The art arrived safely and at record speed (even though it was the Forth of July holiday week). I look forward to purchasing many more of Beth’s gorgeous Maine inspired coastal art in the near future. Thanks a million Beth!
