About Candy Dramas

This series illustrates an era of timeless elegance immortalized by classic Hollywood icons, think of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, who are interwoven into dramatic scenes that one might find in a Mike Hammer crafted Mickey Spillane crime novel.

The artistic goal is to create a technically excellent painting that captures unique dimensions ignored by many artists. For example introducing immediacy represented by the dimension of time. Each Candy Drama has an element that shows the setting just occurred, look at "Sugar Daddy" and note the car coming down the street with the driver holding a Tommy gun. Or note the cop in the rear view mirror about to pull over the red head in "Sugar Rush".

But these dramas don’t stop there. Each one also incorporates a dramatic moment that indicates danger, delight, or mystery. Therefore the painting never gets boring. For example "Gum Shoe Detective" is a who-done-it mystery with clues for viewers to find to determine what crime occurred and to solve the riddle of who did it.
