On one of the first sunny days in the spring of 2021 took a walk around the River Thames close to Marlow in Buckinghamshire. Parked in a car park close to a village called Hambleden. Walking along a country road in a fairly isolated spot came across an ice cream van parked on a verge. There really were very few customers and not a great chance of passers by as there was no footpath. Had a nice chat with the ice cream man who had only recently refurbished the old van, it was bright and sparklingly blue in the sunshine. Following our chat I took a photo and made the drawing in Procreate - I sent the owner a copy of the drawing. Looking at the ice cream cone on the front of the van in contrast against the blue sky strongly evokes my recollection of the scene
