Thank you, Margaret. The Captain wrote the greatest song (ok, probably the only song) about the wonders of candy corn.

I like the song (all 8 min & 23 sec of it) and of course I like your portrait. I have never been a fan of candy corn. Of course it never stops me from eating it. I enjoyed the candy corn snow in the background Captain Beefheart’s portrait. And his blue skin is wonderful. Nice job, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the great comment. It's a strange inspiration for a painting, but then again it's a strange inspiration for a song too!

Very cool image of Don.
Frank Zappa next?
