Necco Wafers, 6x6"

Remember Necco Wafers?  

Here is some information about how and why I decided to paint this kind of candy.  I tried to perk up the image with a colorful cascade of stripes because the candy and the packaging of these Necco Wafers is very light, the candy has a delightful sugar haze on each piece and the package is wax paper-like. This is a very old-fashioned candy which I used to get from my grandfather when I was a child. The manufacturer was located in Cambridge near Boston, Massachusetts. I guess I was in a crazy colorful mood when I chose to paint it this way.
