Roman Candy Wagon
One of the most vivid childhood memories is a day spent with my parents at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. An absolutely beautiful Spring day filled with new adventures with each turn but one turn left a lasting impression. I can still see the tree limbs blowing in the breeze while an irresistibly sweet smell filled the air. That nostalgic white wagon, with giant red wheels, parked in a graceful curve pulled me in as if the entire earth tilted in it's direction.
The Roman Candy Company has been planting smiles on everyone's face since 1915 making it a true historical treasure for the city of New Orleans. A true family owned business with a recipe dating back four generations. This gourmet taffy sold for 5 cents a stick until 1970. It was important to me to paint the '¢' symbol because there are so few items still sold for less than a dollar that soon it to will become just a memory in history.

ABOUT the FINE ART GICLEE: Produced from my original artwork and they are printed on high-quality archival canvas using archival inks, stretched over a .75” or 1.5” wood frame with the print image wrapping around edge of canvas and are ready to hang using the mounted picture wire. (The 1.5” depth canvas works best for hanging without framing.) The giclee is signed on the front in silver, titled/labeled/signed on the back and comes with a signed letter of authenticity should it ever need appraisal.
CUSTOM FRAMING: Handmade floating frames created using reclaimed wood. Frames add an additional 3 inches to the overall width and height of giclee.
PROCESSING TIME & SHIPPING: Giclees are made to order and are ready to ship in 1-2 weeks within the U.S.

I paint in an impasto style using oil paint with palette/painting knives. Painting with palette knives allow a freedom I never enjoyed with brushes. I'm drawn to New Orleans cityscapes and Louisiana landscapes. I'm inspired by the vibrant vivid colors and heavy textures achieved with this three dimensional painting style. I enjoy capturing a view that I would enjoy spending a couple of hours in front of, taking in all the flavor of my surrounding.
