Dark chocolate kisses in seductive purple foil.

One of a series of twelve in my Boxed Still Life: Candy Series

This original acrylic painting is on cradled gessobord with matching painted sides to enhance the 'boxed' look. Wired and ready to hang.

The genesis of my Boxed Still Life series project was in 2010 when I decided to photograph various fruits in my daughter’s colorful wooden stacking/nesting boxes as series of ‘boxed still life’. It was/is my attempt to create a trompe l’oeil effect so that anyone viewing the paintings might feel as if they could reach into them and pick up the object depicted.
