Candy Still Lifes
  
Tom's 2013 works were featured in his solo exhibit titled SWEETS & TREATS.  The show presented a new series of candy still-life's.  Candy-making has been an integral part of the heritage of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada and Calais, Maine since the 1870's.  The paintings featured a number of favorite local candies and chocolates.  Each new piece showcased the artist's ability to capture true-to-life renderings.  The featured showpiece was a large double-subject portrait of James & Gilbert Ganong who founded GANONG'S CHOCOLATES in 1873 at St. Stephen.  The highlight of the Opening Night Reception occurred when Great-Great Granddaughters Diane & Bryana Ganong unveiled the portrait of their esteemed ancestors.  You can meet Tom at any of his opening receptions and have an opportunity to talk with him.
  

The GANONG BROTHERS portrait by Tom Brennan was unveiled by Bryanan & Diane Ganong
James & Gilbert Ganong are portrayed seated in front of some of the grocery stock typical of their original store at St Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada. Before them is a tray of hand dipped chocolate key lime truffles protruding into the present represented by the Ganong company logo and a wide assortment of chocolates forming a frame within a frame. This annual International Festival art exhibit was dedicated in the memory of the Ganong brothers.
