Press Release


The American Artist Clare Dowling has announced the completion of a suite of paintings accomplished in Rome, Italy. This group of works, [a series of 16 watercolors], was undertaken whilst her parents were on sabbatical studying the Roman Baroque. Ms. Dowling’s expressions are evidence of her own experiences living and working in Rome. Her most ardent collectors, of course, will receive personal announcements of her accomplishment in the form of painted postcards. The rest of her admirers will simply have to wait for the exhibition scheduled for sometime next spring.

This recent group of artworks are representative of the enormous change in her personal abilities and vision since living in Italy. The personal handprint, as it were, of a life lived in the cafes and cultural centers of Rome and Florence. The explosion of color and gesture gives license and inspiration to us all. We will surely hear more from this young creator.

Well, well Miss Mae. Looks like you too are experiencing the highs and lows of the family vacation. I particularly like the second offering: clean, evokes spinning out of control yet soothes at the same time. Will you be offering prints? I'd put this up on Jack's wall for inspiration!
Kisses bebe!

I think I like the last one...a floral piece?? Of course Clare may have a differenet interpretation. It usually involves a long story with every stroke a different meaning. Happy Birthday Lisa...
You have had quite an experience on your 30th year! Love Aunt Jackie
