"Roller Skates and Grape Bubblicious"
Acrylic on Canvas
10"x10"
When I look at this painting, I see space and sky, but the colors keep triggering my memory of grape Bubblicious gum, with its grapier than a real grape taste. Our daily summer routines in the 70’s had one required uniform piece…roller skates. Whatever activity we were doing, we did that activity on skates. When I visit my childhood neighborhood and see the hills we skated down, I truly wonder how we didn’t break bones. Sometimes we would scrape together change and skate to Bell’s Grocery. I remember getting bubble gum and staring at those red, white, and blue Rocket Pops. It was ultimately more about the juicy colors than the tastes for me. Mmmm red dye #40….
