2011 Sweet Memories Christmas Plate

by Terry Redlin
“The Palace of Sweets, a neighborhood candy store, was an actual location in Terry Redlin's youth. In this painting he remembers that nostalgic time and place during the Christmas season; the area homes are gaily decorated and the corner lampost is a work of art with wreath, bow and strips of twirled bunting. Into this festive scene a wagonload of children on a holiday hayride have stopped for a bit of shopping. 'The variety of candy in glass jars was huge,' the artist recalls, 'and back then marshmallows were sold in pails. I haven't seen that in years.”
