This triptych was painted in honor of my late father who passed on in June of 2012. It is composed of three 24" x 24" acrylic on stretched canvases. The idea for this painting came to me in a dream. I awoke in the middle of the night so I could remember the dream in which I was painting hard candies. When I woke up in the morning, I recalled the dream and had the distinct feeling that the idea was from my father who had somehow managed to communicate with me in the dream state. I did my research and found some photos and paintings of candies. I did my studies and then immediately did the paintings.
At the time, I was working on a new collection of art to take to the Art Expo NY in April 2014. It was a dream that I had for thirty years. My whole family came to NY to see me and support my art. It was a wonderful and warm celebration that I will cherish and hold in my heart forever. Everyone of importance from my life- going all the way back to second grade-was there for me. They all traveled and stayed at the same hotel and celebrated my dream with me. My Father was there too-- in the spirit of his paintings. It was an amazing weekend!!!
