The Greatest Trick...

"The Greatest Trick..." is a commissioned work based on the movie poster for The Usual Suspects. I think it turned out quite well- the gummies all look highly suspicious to me.

A Scatter of Bears

A group of bears is called a sleuth or a sloth. A group of polar bears is called a celebration. A group of gummy bears is called a snack.

"A Scatter of Bears" is one of several new pieces that will be part of a still life show at Boston's Gold Gallery in April.

Big Red Shiny


"Big Red Gummy" was done for a group show titled Big Red Shiny. I'm pretty sure she qualifies. The piece is 48x48 with the gummy being about 28" high. That's a lot of gummy. Reminds me of the gummy bears that grow on trees in the 1971 version of Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Gummy Quartet

These guys were a commissioned set, each panel is 14x14. At some point along the way I figured out that if I licked the bears before I painted them, they  reflected the light better and made for an improved painting. Gross -maybe, but really, aren't gummy bears meant to go in your mouth?

Pop Gummies -Six Pack

gummy bear painting, original still life by Jeanne Vadeboncoeur

This is the finished series of the Pop Gummies, naturally there are six of them. They are (clockwise starting at top left): Hawaiian Punch, Crush (Orange and Lime), Strawberry Fizz, Cherry-Lemonade, Cherry Cola, and Ginger Ale. Seeing them all together, I can't help but notice what a forlorn collection of gummies they are. I guess Cherry Cola's melancholy is understandable as it is the only one that has not found a home.
