Obviously, this is not a candy, it is a painting of a candy. I started painting candy because I am intrigued with the simple ingredients of candy from the past versus candy made today. I am working on an entire group of these crazy, colorful little paintings.

The original Charleston Chew was invented around 1920 by Donley Cross (the strawberry Chew that I used in my still life was introduced in 1958). He was an actor, who had to find a new career after an injury or illenss while acting. He paired with a candy maker and he
invented the Charleston Chew. It was named after a popular dace move of the time. Some say that one of the popular marketing tools for introducing this candy was done door-to-door. The sales person (including the inventor) would give people a candy bar and then sing a song. The song went something like "Chew, chew, chew the Charleston Chew".
After a few company changes, the Tootsie Roll company now produces the candy.
