  Gregg Chadwick Saffron and Rose 30"x22"gouache on paper 2021 Happy National Ice Cream Day! Ice cream on a summer day to cool the heat. A bevy of flavors. Perhaps saffron pistachio, white rose, pomegranate, or chocolate chip? What is your favorite flavor? My gouache on paper painting "Saffron and Rose" was inspired by a stop at an ice cream vendor in Les Halles in the shadow of Saint-Eustache. Parisian memories blend with many summers past in my painting. Available at  @saatchiart  Art and  @singulartofficial Please Note: This artwork is painted on a 30"x22" sheet of paper and the image size is 18"x12" so a nice clean border surrounds the image.
