An homage to small ice cream parlors everywhere, "Floats" by Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald recreates a shop sign beckoning passerbys to come in for a sweet treat. The original sign belonged to Bonnie-Doon, a beloved drive-in restaurant in Mishawaka, IN since 1938 and the imaginary sponsor of Fitzgerald's companion piece "Neapolitan Car." Like all of Fitzgerald's works, the painting achieves a certain timelessness, resurrecting the past with iconic forms and weathered textures.

Oil, graphite, and mixed media on canvas board. Framed.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
