KA-BLOOM!

Giant Orange Gummy is off to the auction block! This piece will be auctioned off to support Visual Aid, a San Francisco organization that helps artists with life-threatening illnesses continue their creative work. Find out more about the auction and see her preview info here.

Big Red Shiny

"Big Red Gummy" was done for a group show titled Big Red Shiny. I'm pretty sure she qualifies. The piece is 48x48 with the gummy being about 28" high. That's a lot of gummy. Reminds me of the gummy bears that grow on trees in the 1971 version of Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. 

Gummy Quartet

These guys were a commissioned set, each panel is 14x14. At some point along the way I figured out that if I licked the bears before I painted them, they  reflected the light better and made for an improved painting. Gross -maybe, but really, aren't gummy bears meant to go in your mouth?

Pop Gummies -Six Pack

This is the finished series of the Pop Gummies, naturally there are six of them. They are (clockwise starting at top left): Hawaiian Punch, Crush (Orange and Lime), Strawberry Fizz, Cherry-Lemonade, Cherry Cola, and Ginger Ale. Seeing them all together, I can't help but notice what a forlorn collection of gummies they are. I guess Cherry Cola's melancholy is understandable as it is the only one that has not found a home.

Blue Plate Special

Blue Plate Special was done for a Visual Aid art auction. Visual Aid is a San Francisco based charity that helps artists with life-threatening illnesses to continue to create their work. The Theme of the auction was "Big Blue Deal" and while I considered doing a big blue gummy...I went that traditionalists route and stuck to the gummy's "natural" colors.

Giant Orange Gummy

I've been so very neglectful of my Gummy Bear Blog. Last post was one year ago yesterday. Here is a giant orange gummy to make it up to you.
