Six popsicles stand side by side across the canvas, their wooden sticks reaching toward the bottom edge. Each is a block of fruit-flavor color, suggesting cherry, strawberry, watermelon, pistachio, orange and lemon-lime.

The paint is laid on in heavy ridges and knife marks, with the canvas weave showing through. Soft, even daylight and a flat frontal view keep the focus on the color and the loose, playful handling of a summer treat.
