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.

Double Rainbow

The "Double Rainbow" series is a new set of 6x6 paintings that are on their way to the Gold Gallery in Boston.

KA-BLOOM!

Giant Orange Gummy is off to the auction block! This piece will be auctioned off to support Visual Aid, a San Francisco organization that helps artists with life-threatening illnesses continue their creative work. Find out more about the auction and see her preview info here.

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

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.
