Roman Candy Wagon ArtBlock
‘Roman Candy Wagon’ ArtBlock
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.
What’s An ArtBlock?
A handmade product lovingly created in my studio using one of my paper prints mounted on a 6”x6”x1.75” solid block of stained poplar wood.
How do Display an ArtBlock?
ArtBlocks can be displayed sitting on a shelf or can hang aided by the routed key hole slot on the back which allows the block to sit flush to the wall.
