Piece description from the artist
This is another of the Bangor series. I had to climb up on top of a building across the street to get this vantage point. The downtown of Bangor sits in a bowl, so when the sun goes down, the light leaves ever so quickly and creates the incredible contrasts of warm and cool. Those sweeping hill tops allow the distance to remain in light while the foreground is not.
Ben Ferry is a former high school and college all-American soccer player who grew up in Washington, D.C.. After being drafted by "D.C. United":http://www.dcunited.com/, he played professionally for three years before a major spinal injury forced him to retire.
In his work, Ben focuses on the human figure, landscapes, cityscapes, and animals in a variety of media and styles. His paintings are vibrant, playful and unconventional, often featuring bright, saturated color and imaginative subject matter. Ben received both his B.A. and M.F.A. in painting and drawing from George Washington University and still lives in D.C., where he teaches painting and drawing at Georgetown University and George Mason University.
