I am a portrait painter but I have to have other outlets for my artistic energy. I love to paint bright, silly, fun candy! This is my series of "Trifle" paintings. The label for all my candy posts is "ceci n'est pas une bonbon". This is a nod to one of my favorite painters, Rene Magrite. Indeed, this is not a candy, you cannot eat it, it is a painting of a candy.
I started painting these candy paintings after learning about the addictive ingredients in newer candy.
Created by chemist William Mitchel who patented it in 1956. General foods sold it to the public in 1975. It was said that if you drink soda with pop rocks, your tummy will explode. The TV show "Myth Busters" and General foods have proven that this is not true.
Ingredients: Sugar, lactose, corn syrup, flavoring, and it is processed with carbon dioxide.
What's your candy story?
