"Candied Plaza" Original Painting by Vanessa Lacy

Experience the iconic Country Club Plaza through the vibrant lens of local artist Vanessa Lacy. In her original palette knife painting, "Candied Plaza," Lacy captures the famous Giralda Tower during a luminous, post-rain sunset.

The centerpiece of this work is a sky rendered in the soft, nostalgic hues of saltwater taffy, Vanessa’s favorite treat. These "candied" colors spill onto the wet pavement below, where thick, impasto textures create a shimmering reflection of light and architecture.

Established in 1922, the Plaza is renowned for its Spanish-inspired towers and fountains. For those looking to buy Kansas City landmark art, this piece offers a modern, emotive take on the city's "City of Fountains" charm. With its rich textures and whimsical palette, "Candied Plaza" is a must-have for collectors of fine art in KC seeking to bring a piece of local history home.
