Creative Tuesdays - Candy

The theme for the current Creative Tuesdays is 'Candy'. The jumping off point for this piece was 'Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory', one of my kids' favourite movies. I wanted to do a chocolate river and it evolved into a kind of candy land. I'm pleased with the final result, pure fantasy! It's acrylic (8 1/2" h x 11" w) on card stock.

Linking to MMm's Creative Tuesdays. Please visit the other talented participants, I can't wait to see what they will come up with!

Sweet! A chocolate river sounds good. In the Chocolate Museum in Cologne there is a Choccie fountain where you can dip wafers - heavenly! Valerie

It reminds me of Candy Land...my favorite board game when I was young! :) I could certainly indulge in a chocolate river right about now! Do you supply spoons? ha.

I would love to paddle up a lazy river of Chocolate with a big bowl of strawberries in my lap to dip as I floated along.

This is just a mouth watering painting...Mind if I lick the screen! TeeHee.
