Krispy Kreme
Gainesville, Florida
I was looking for something local to paint while exhibiting in a show in Gainesville, Florida. I found this old- style Krispy Kreme. In researching the company, which was started in North Carolina, it sparked an idea for the painting. Since the common denominators were, NC and doughnuts, I decided to put the police car that was used in Mayberry with Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, in the painting, as it was filmed in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. That’s probably Barney in the car, as he would most likely be the one that went out for doughnuts.
The painting became not only a popular local attraction, but was popular around the country.
