My latest 2 paintings in a planned series of six candy-related paintings. These paintings are 40"x30" in size. As a graphic designer by profession and a kid at heart, it's obvious why I'm drawn to this subject matter. I love the bright colors, and the nostalgia associated with these two brands. Plus, package design has always been of interest to me. When I see these candies I'm reminded of going to the movies as a child and the whole sensory overload of the visuals, sounds and the chewy stuff in my mouth that I would spend the rest of the day trying to pick from my teeth. Candy makes people happy and I want my paintings to have that same affect, and to remind the viewer of those times in the theater at some animated Disney cartoon or some great classic from the past when worries were few and a new adventure could be found at the next matinee
