"Eye Candy Series-# 2/ Bon-Bon", small works, oil painting by Vonnie Kohn

  "Eye Candy Series- # 2-Bon Bon"   4 x 4" gallery wrap (Needs no frame)   Oil Painting   $ 50 Many years ago, I used to work as a "packer" for a well-known candy company. That meant I placed a piece of chocolate candy into a paper foil and packed it into a fancy box. I had to learn to do this rapidly because the box was on a conveyor belt & moved along. The trick was to put "x" number of candies in proper order in the box before it moved along the belt. Much later after this job, I saw an "I Love Lucy" show in which Lucille Ball did the same thing. She didn't move fast enough, however,  & began stuffing candy down her blouse to make up for lost time. Thank goodness I did not have to resort to that method. I learned that my real calling was art, not-"candy packer." Nevertheless, it was an experience that brought this oil painting into being and produced a pleasant memory..enjoy.
