Clare Elsaesser (Artist)

Ahhh…the lovely paintings of American artist Clare Elsaesser. I don’t remember where I first saw her work, but I know that every time I come across one of her paintings, it always catches my eye! Oh, who painted this dreamy portrait of a woman holding flowers? Clare Elsaesser. Oh, who painted this beautiful lady in a lake? Clare Elsaesser. Oh, who . . . Clare Elsaesser!

Clare has such a great sense of color and texture. I love her thick brushstrokes and her gorgeous color combinations. Pinks, blues, and greens pop up a lot in her paintings, as does a sense of mystery, a dreamlike quality that draws me back to her work again and again. The faces of her women may be hidden, but the emotions come through, every time.
