Hi Subscriber,
Well now you know where my addiction to sugar came from.
Thankfully, I hardly ever eat candy anymore, but oh what fun it was to paint these five tiny reminders of Dorothy Nagy's store and the penny candies we kids went there for. These are recreations of my favorites.
I may paint some more, but there are a few I cannot bring myself to.
So sorry if you feel nostalgic over MaryJanes, Neccos, candy corn, or those orange marshmellowy things shaped like a peanut. Never liked those.
I only liked the candy dots on paper strips because of the bright colors. Otherwise, I loved anything that had chocolate, coconut, or caramel.
I painted these to go along with the painting of the store that I shared with you last week. I have just a couple more days to decide exactly how I will use them in the July ART & Story Club.
I'm adding a Golden Ticket to one envelope at random in July's issue. Whoever finds it may trade it in for one of the original candy paintings.
The next big event is the Grosse Pointes Art Festival coming up on August 1st. I'll share my plans for that next week.
Until then, remember to..
Take time for birdsong!
Jan
