Ice cream paintings

I am an art student at Monmouth college in Monmouth,IL. Just recently I was in the gallery and I was talking to a fellow student, I was stressing out as I normally do about everything (especially art). We began to joke about what it would take to make us feel a 100%. Although we were joking around, I thought to myself all the things that I thought I needed to happen in order to make me feel a that good. As I was sorting though my thoughts on this, the student that I was talking to spoke up and said "Ice Cream." I was amazed. I still find this to consume the majority of my spare time thinking about what she had said. The idea that all this person was missing was something as simple as ice cream. how cool would that be if all it took to make me complete was some ice cream. The subject to my new painting is ice cream. As I was researching different styles of ice cream art to see if any were the style that i was looking for to help me express my feelings in my new painting.
Art Decone was almost the exact thing I was looking for. The surreal look at this ice cream cone with only the massive cone in front of a bright blue sky says it all. Although the melting building does not go into my idea, this painting gives me something to work with in terms of developing my own surreal ice cream cone. The quote by Jim Tommaney "Let the sweet taste of leisure linger on your tongue. Yesturday is gone, tomarrow is unknown, savor the melting moment" says it all. I am writing this to say that this piece has inspired me to follow though with my painting.

I love all the pictures of ice cream. I have a small ice cream & coffee shop. I have been looking for pictures of ice cream to hang in the shop. So far no luck. Are these for sale?

Sorry, the art was done for the ice cream shop "Frieze" in Miami Beach, in 1987. The owner of this well known place will certainly not accept that we duplicate the decor, however, I am available to paint a mural, or a series of big panels on canvas, on the theme of ice cream, for your Ice cream shop!. The cost average is $60 by square ft, plus material, shipping, (rolled in a tube, then you can either glue them on a wall or stretch them on a wood stretcher). Some designs would cost more.
Maybe that would be helpful for your business, who knows? It certainly was for "Frieze": They got great exposures and press reviews . (I have to say that their ice cream is great too...)

Hi Marcel, after looking through it, I love it! My two favorites are this one (moon spoon) and Fan on the Beach. I really like the way the pictures change in the gallery site so you can decide which ones to look at all in one place! Just wanted to let you know what I thought, I'm adding your site to my favorite places so I can check back often!
