"Ice Cream Castle" 18x24 oil on canvas 2007

I did this painting a few years back for my sister, Kate, when she graduated college. I asked what she wanted as a gift and her off-hand response was a castle made of ice cream, so that's what she got! I was in painting class at the time so it doubled as a school project.

My classically trained painting professor was not impressed. His critique involved that it reminded him of Lisa Frank, which I took as a compliment! If only I could make a living designing trapper keepers with magical worlds where polar bears, unicorns and penguins live in a rainbow spectrum of harmony.
