This painting began with a simple, joyful reference photo of classic licorice allsorts casually arranged on a flat surface. I wanted to elevate these lollies by placing them on a crisp white plate under dramatic, directional lighting to create a chiaroscuro effect. Painting these 'bonbons' in oil was both fun and deeply rewarding; it was the kind of work that felt like bringing a little piece of joy to life on the canvas.
A big thank you to Jeffrey from the Adelaide Art Society for generously sharing the original photograph that inspired this piece. It was the perfect starting point.
