Description

A serigraph of a corner ice cream store. With two women in front, one walking and the other leaning on a post. The signs for the store along, a pay phone, and a reflection of a white car are the brights objects depicted within. The store front shows its age and as staining drips down the white shingling. A striking feature is the reflection of the surrounding scene unseen by the viewer within the shops windows, along with a subtle reflection on the pavement suggesting it just rained.
