Arctic Ice Sno-Cone Stand

Sketched on location in Creve Coeur Lake Park, Maryland Heights, MO USA.  Creve Coeur Lake is the largest natural lake in Missouri.  I sketched this scene of the Arctic Ice Sno-Cone Stand while sitting at a picnic table across the bike trail from the little snow-cone building.  The park was busy with people riding their bikes, running, walking (both for exercise and walking their dogs), people sailing on the lake, and people fishing.  The snow-cone stand had lots of customers while I sketched; the warm and humid afternoon lent itself to indulging in a cold, sweet treat.

  1. What a great summery tradition! Your sketch, Steve, inspires me to find an ice cream-y/cold treat place to capture in my town, too.

  3. Nice and colorful sketch. With the story I can feel the whole thing play out like I was there.
