life on bars

Ice cream season is ending (for some people) but I'm still preoccupied with painting bars and pops, and working on some bigger paintings, too. Even though the ice cream or the sign is a recognizable object, they become, for me, shapes to shift in scale or color, that I could never invent, but I can depict. Then, the extra layer of what the image may evoke, if anything.
I did a smaller version of Payco- or Spacesicle- or I haven't titled it yet- a couple months ago, but I just finished this 36"x48" oil which I may still work on and then varnish when dry. The other photo is of my window installation for Newburgh Open Studios last weekend.
