The trauma that occurs with a dropped ice-cream cone is very real to a 4 year old. I imagine it comes from it being a special treat and also from the inability to salvage any of it as the ice cream melts on the sidewalk. This painting is an imagined scene and I will try it again with a wider composition that may include some bare feet of the toddler.
