Candy Corn Candy Dish- Daily Painting- by Darren Maurer

5"x7"

We spent Thanksgiving in Grand Island, Nebraska with my sister's family this year. On Friday we spent some time with my wife's family and on one of the visits to her 98 year old and still going strong grandmother's house I spotted this candy dish. I liked the way the orange and yellow candies looked through the green tinted glass. The most difficult part of this painting was explaining to grandma why I was taking photos of her candy dish. She finally figured out what I was up to and then everything worked okay out after that. This is painting 180 in my Painting A Day Series. Painting Sold.
