The Letter

The trip that launched both the Solowey marriage and this exhibition was the Soloweys’ summer-long “honeymoon” to Casco Bay, Maine. it surely was a heady time for the couple and it inspired Ben. In our new exhibition there are three views of the same rocky promontory in Casco Bay. The photograph is Ben’s own contact print. The watercolor and oil turn the landscape in a Cezanne-like abstraction. The rocky outcroppings along the shore would find their way into the Casco Bay Folding Screen.
