Created multiple winning Posters for Summer Solstice Celebration and Old Spanish Days Fiesta. Rowley enjoys mixing various ideas and mediums. For the 1989 Solstice poster "[He] worked from a combination of sources, including memory and photographs. The mask that the girl is holding in the painting is from a museum in San Francisco. The clown, which is the main parade figure, is taken from a Solstice photograph from several years ago. The Architecture depicts movement from the main arch of the courthouse into the lawn area, which was part of the Solstice Celebration in previous years. He added that the sun emblem on his design was inspired by Chumash Imagery." Santa Maria Times, May 19, 1989. |
