‘Ice Flavors,’ Gary Oberndorfer

This cherry blossom sculpture was located in front of a park in Northwest DC.

Says the artist: "Each petal of the cherry blossom sculpture is dipped in a color inspired by ice pop flavors: strawberry, orange, lime, blue raspberry, and grape.”

*****
This is the time of year for Washington’s wildly popular Cherry Blossom Festival, but unfortunately it has once again been canceled due to the pandemic. The public has been asked not to enjoy the blossoms at the Tidal Basin but instead to view “Art in Bloom,” 26 cherry blossom sculptures painted by local artists and placed in locations throughout DC and adjacent neighborhoods.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

A perfect spot of this yummy work - Book Hill park and there’s someone reading in the background. All she needs is an icy treat. The two go together.
