"Sweet Memories" |
|
The Palace of Sweets, a neighborhood store
specializing in tempting treats for kids was an actual location in Terry
Redlin’s youth. In this romantic painting he remembers that nostalgic time
and place during the Christmas season. The area homes are gaily decorated.
The corner lamppost is a work of art in its own right with wreath, bow and
unique strips of twirled bunting. Into this festive scene a wagonload of
children on a holiday hayride have stopped for a bit of shopping. “The
variety of candy in glass jars was huge,” the artist recalls, “and back
then marshmallows were sold in pails. I haven’t seen that for years.”
