OLYMPIA CANDY KITCHEN

Admin

Olympia Candy Kitchen Goshen, IN

Established in 1912, San Husaus started his business in Goshen, Indiana at the corner of Main and Clinton. After eight year, the business was sold to Nicholas Paflas and his wife Leona.  4 generations later Kare Anderson, the great-grandson of the Paflas still operates the business, but has since expanded the menu from the original candy store and ice cream parlor, now with serving breakfast and a full lunch menu. If you want to experience some nostalgia, stop in at 136 N. Main Street, Goshen, Indiana for a cherry coke, and ice cream soda, or some chocolate delights.

The year was 2003 and the Number One Art Festival in the Country was the Coconut Grove Arts Festival in Miami, Florida. I had exhibited there once before.  When I was accepted for this show, I was asked if I wanted to demonstrate my work at one of the schools in the Miami area. 

I thought that would be fun, so I accepted, but was given a time frame to complete a full painting in the classroom.  I chose a middle school in southwest Miami and had several phone discussions with the art teacher at the school.

Since I had a number of paintings with a diner theme, I decided to paint a related subject, that took less time to demonstrate. The Mustard and Ketchup painting was the first in a series of diner table-settings paintings. I was impressed by the students interest and the questions they asked during the class.

This was an experience that I will cherish as part of my artistic career.
