my weekend purchase

This weekend, I finally bought the painting shown above that I've been coveting for 2 years. This incredible Chicago artist Jeff Zimmerman did a series called VEHICLES and this is one of the paintings from that series. All of the VEHICLE paintings are amazing but the ice cream trucks in particular, blew me away.

These images are so iconic to Chicago and to living in the city, that I knew I would always be reminded of those summer nights when the ice cream truck putters onto your street blasting some inane song that gets stuck in your head until you want to pull your hair out.
Good times.
