\u201cI know that a painting is most success- ful when someone feels something about it, rather than just being able to say, \u2018Oh, I know where that house is in town.\u2019\u201d \u201cI like to think of my works almost as being like little poems of a place,\u201d he says. Early morning sun, rays that he could be seeing as he is getting ready for bed, might illuminate the steep pitches of a streetscape of houses, each dwelling registering a dif- ferent amount of the light and resulting shadow.<\/p>\n

A wet street at night curves its way through town, the lamplights in the neigh- boring houses bespeaking coziness and shel- ter from the elements. A single streetlight might illuminate a pointing traffic arrow stenciled to the pavement. A scene in Man- hattan might show a pre-war apartment building stenciled against a moonlit sky. Palm trees in Hollywood, appearing lonely themselves, send shadows to the pavement.<\/p>\n

Dowd\u2019s paintings affect and have an effect on a viewer. Even though there may be no figures present, a sense of a narrative is being subtly expressed. You are meant discovered to feel the atmosphere of what is shown by him. Even though Dowd, a native of West- ern Massachusetts, has been living in Provincetown since 1983, a small town of a few thousand in the off season, where, as he relates, \u201cevery- body knows who paints, who the grocer is, who the guy is who sells the fish,\u201d he has not exhausted his locale for material.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would take a lifetime for me to use up what is here. Every day I find a surprise in the town. Different light falls on something one day than on the day before. I might see a dif- ferent pattern on the street or interesting angles and geometries it takes. I hope some- times that the way I might paint something that people have seen a thousand times will make them aware of it in a new way or that they\u2019ll see a new beauty in it from how light affects it.<\/p>\n

I want to prove how beautiful the world is if you pay attention to it.\u201d Although Dowd paints every day when he is in his Provincetown house, a structure that dates from the 1830s, he does travel frequently to Los Angeles and New York, the latter where he keeps an apartment. But wherever he goes, he paints what he sees. \u201cWhen in Rome, I do some painting. I\u2019m basically interested in just depicting my experience of places wherever they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

He purposely avoids painting figures into his landscapes and streetscapes, preferring instead to show \u201cquiet moments of a place Above and below: Drive-In Dusk (2020); On the Beach at Night (2023). discovered Clockwise from top left: Along the Rail Yard (c. 1990s), Nearing Dawn West End (2020), Miami Evening (2010).<\/p>\n
