CLEARING: A Solo Show Featuring Abstract Landscapes by Maine Artist Jill Caldwell will be on display until Monday, October 18th.

(Belfast, ME) One can hardly imagine a more vivid landscape than rural Maine in the fall. With its fiery reds, ochre yellows and crisp blue skies, Maine's autumns have inspired many an artist. Perhaps even more than the colors it is that particular clarity - the invisible clearing of air and mind that happens as the cacophony of summer recedes and winter announces itself in the distance - that calls to be captured on canvas.

Maine Farmland Trust Gallery's first fall show, “Clearing,” celebrates the art of Jill Caldwell, an artist from Rockland, whose abstract landscapes manage to capture the essence of a panorama. Openness, clear lines, richness of color and texture and a sense of transcendence beyond space and time are some qualities that characterize Caldwell's work.

Clearing opens on Friday, September 3rd, with a public reception from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at Maine Farmland Trust Gallery, located at 97 Main Street in Belfast.

In tandem with Belfast's Poetry Festival (www.belfastpoetry.com), Lincolnville poet Vincent Abaldo has written a number of poems in response to Caldwell's paintings, which will be exhibited as part of the art show.
