Description :

Colorful Folk Art Painting by David Elmore — “Community Celebration” Scene

Vibrant original mixed-media painting on paper, signed David Elmore at lower right. This joyful, large-scale composition depicts a community scene of children and adults painting, flying kites, and celebrating together under a sweeping rainbow of color. The expressive, naïve style and bold palette evoke the energy and optimism of 1970s-80s American folk and public art.

Historical Note:
Elmore’s work often reflects themes of unity, inclusion, and creativity, resonating with the broader cultural movement of community muralism that gained traction in urban America during the late 20th century. The piece embodies the era’s emphasis on art as a connector between people and shared space.

Framed under glass in a simple black frame.
Approx. 32” H × 24” W. Excellent condition with bright color and minor surface wear consistent with age.
