About the Item
Artist Comments
When asked about the character in this expressionist portrait, artist Darlene McElroy shared that, "he is pausing on a walk through changing leaves to savor the moment, enjoy the colors and to catch a glimpse of the butterflies before their migration." Darlene adorned the figure with images of summer - birds, plants and stylized suns. In a way, he acts as the allegorical usher between the seasons.

A face surfaces within the abstract expression of artist Sharon Sieben's striking contemporary portrait. Cold wax mixed with oil constitutes a compelling image of her model in a meditative state.
