The title of this piece comes from Blue Bell ice cream. At some point while painting it, I started seeing the abstract forms as a cow floating through a deep blue space background, and after that I couldn’t unsee it. The painting feels oddly weightless to me. The heavy black and ultramarine blue are broken up by these soft white forms that look suspended in motion. Even with the darker palette, it never felt serious while I was making it. The whole thing felt too strange and whimsical for a severe title. Blue Bells just fit.
