The Candy Bomber, by Melissa A. Torres, 16x20x1.5 acrylic on canvas




I was so honored and privileged to be asked to create a painting specifically for this event. On Saturday, Nov 9th, the Berlin Candy Drop was reenacted. I had the pleasure of meeting Col. Gail Halvorsen, "The Candy Bomber." A WWII AF pilot.  He signed the posted of the painting that I did. Proceeds from the sale of the painting which was auctioned off, and from the posters went to benefit The Texas Children's Choir.
