Austin Ice cream Parlor

I am carrying on my observations now that I have moved to Austin. When I have that moment of, what I can only describe as sublime, I try to record everything I can in my minds eye and then take it back to my studio and create a piece. The sensation is very euphoric. I am in a 15 to 20 second state of bliss before space and time sync back up and I am in reality again. In this piece I was overwhelmed by the shear beauty of the moment as I watched this couple eating their ice cream. I wanted to try and capture the vulgarity and sensuality that I experienced trying not to offend the subjects at the same time. I am finding it less and less necessary to produce or infuse shocking elements in my work in order to make a point. I am starting to realize that it is all there already.
