Spring Cleaning, Original Painting

2018

Artist Comments
Spring is a time of renewal. Change winter clothes to spring and summer, clean the house, plant the garden and string spring garlands in the sun room. Such a happy time. A time to look forward to summer sports, basking in the sun and long summer nights filled with music and margaritas.

About the Artist
Darlene McElroy sees creating art as similar to reading Turkish coffee grounds. A story becomes revealed as one looks at the surface, texture and color. Her works use a variety of materials ranging from acrylic paints to photo transfers and collage. She currently lives in New Mexico and has been greatly influenced by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. She encourages viewers to search for their narrative interpretation when viewing a work.
