It's that time of year. I was in the grocery store last night and one look down the candy aisle was nothing but orange, similar to the color carnage of the Barbie aisle in other stores, nothing but pink : )

Colors can have such loaded meanings and associations, sometimes I really have to try and erase those ideas to get to a good place when I'm working. I mean you can think candy corn and Barbie, but orange and pink can bring ideas of Morocca and East India too, which is a lot more exciting for me now. But I gotta say when I was 5, I would've been in an entirely different state of mind : )

Here's a tiny little oil sketch from the food calendar series.

Hope it brings good memories.
