Highlight of the Neighborhood
On this beautiful summer evening in the 1950's, the Schwan's ice cream truck is making its final stop of the day. The kids, who have been waiting its arrival at the lighted park area, now enjoy their freshly scooped cones. As a softball game begins, the driver delivers a carefully wrapped package of ice cream to the nearby house. Intently watching from a window, the cat knows that she may soon savor the soft, sweet leftovers from the bottom of an ice cream bowl. This image, "Highlight of the Neighborhood," captures on canvas Terry Redlin's idyllic view of a child's perfect summer evening. According to the artist, "There is no better treat on a hot summer's night than ice cream!"
