Krispy Kreme

Atlanta, GA

I exhibited at one of the largest and highest rated Festivals in the nation, “The Yellow Daisy Arts & Craft Festival” held at Stone Mountain Park, east of Atlanta, Georgia.  I had been there for several years, so I had a lot of interest in my work. 

A man from the Atlanta area had purchased several paintings from me and asked me if I would paint a special picture for him.  My painting of the Krispy Kreme in Gainesville, Florida had received a huge response, with the police car from Mayberry in it. 

The gentleman wanted me to paint one for him, with an Atlanta police car, since I didn’t want to paint the same picture more than once.

The man purchased the painting from me along with 3 others. That show was always one of my favorites, as I had painted many landmarks from the area, including  the FOX Theatre Singin’ in the Rain;   Fox Theatre, The King & I;   The Varsity;   a commissioned Varsity painting;  the Stone Mountain Grist Mill in the Spring;  The Stone Mountain Mill in the Summer.  Oh, I forgot to mention the famous Big Chicken in Marietta, Georgia.

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.
