Born in Crittenden County in 1913, regional artist Carroll Cloar used his childhood memories as subject matter for his art. The works he created from his life experiences and the images in old photographs defined his art, especially in his later years, and gained him national recognition. While well known for his lithographic work, Cloar also produced many paintings, such as this 1986 acrylic on panel titled Watermelon Girls.
