Here’s a little painting that I had sketched for the January Challenge. It was just waiting patiently on its easel, crying out for me to finish it before this weekend’s Open Studio.
Happy 75th, M&Ms! by Beverly Shipko, Oil on wood panel, 5 x 7 inches
This painting turned into a commemorative painting marking M&M’s 75th birthday, and the special pack marking this milestone.
It took a few mistakes for me to internalize how much the package changed. At first, I didn’t realized that the logo color has been reversed. The M&Ms logo in the special pack is white instead of the standard brown.
Out of habit, I started painting the logo brown late last night. I was struggling and I didn’t know why. When I finally figured it out, I wiped off the brown. This morning I repaired the damage.
Happy 75th, M&M! makes me smile. I’m not exactly sure why. Do you?
