The Candy Store of Door County, Abbott Vanderwagen (@abbottsartgallery), 2026
Watercolor on paper
Address: 12 N 3rd Ave, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235
To celebrate the Door County Candy store’s 30th anniversary, I became interested in presenting a watercolor painting of the exact location.
ABOUT THIS STORE (Sourced from its website)
Owner Terry Ullman and his staff of Door County Candy has been serving visitors and local customers since 1996. Door County Candy is located at 12 N. 3rd Avenue in the heart of Sturgeon Bay.
We continue to earn our reputation for using the finest in quality confectionery ingredients and unsurpassed candy making culinary skills. Our homemade delicacies and the old-fashioned fun atmosphere continue to turn our regular customers into candy aficionados.

HISTORY
1996 — After Terry Ullman apprenticed with his relatives who own a candy shop in Colorado, he learned family recipes and opened Copper Kettle Confections in Sturgeon Bay, WI. He started a small store of 400 sq. ft. with just one display case full of chocolates, fudges, and gourmet popcorn.
1999 — Copper Kettle Confections began selling everyone’s favorite summertime treat ice cream! Terry started with 8 flavors, but quickly grew by 12 more flavors in 2001. Currently Door County Candy offers 16 unique flavors of ice cream from local business Cedar Crest.
2002 — Every summer sturgeons, benches, or lighthouses decorate Downtown Sturgeon Bay. In 2002, Terry and his sister Heidi created the Jelly Fish Sturgeon and bought it back in the auction to display in the store! The Jelly Fish Sturgeon was quite the undertaking; it took about 3 months to decorate with nearly 20,000 Jelly Belly beans.
2006 — Outgrowing the small space, Terry cut through the back of the store! This expansion doubled the shop’s size and allowed for additional varieties of merchandise.
2009 — After an 8 year battle with Sturgeon Bay City Council, the local businesses got their wish to convert Third Avenue to a 2-way street. Copper Kettle and other business were struggling to stay open due to the lack of traffic coming through. Two-way streets brought more cars and people through to boost sales significantly.
2010 — With newly thriving business, the funds were available to expand yet again! This time Terry would move his shop to a different, much larger location. Copper Kettle Confections moved 2 doors down the street and quadrupled in size to the business known today as Door County Candy!
2011 — After the move, the larger location called for inside seating. Terry acquired historic Kaap’s booths and display cases. Kaap’s was a wonderful restaurant, candy store, and bakery located in Green Bay.
2012 — Door County Candy was able to offer outdoor seating for its customers this year. This was a great advancement for all people who wanted a place to sit and enjoy their dessert in the beautiful sun!
2013 — The business upgraded its POS and computer system to handle an increase in use and products. After looking inward on sales of candies, chocolates, and gifts, Door County Candy was able to decrease the variety of products to focus on what they do best: chocolates, fudges, popcorns, and sweets with a shining smile!
2016 — After a little construction, the store was rearranged to feature each product in the best way possible! The many varieties of salt-water taffies were displayed in flower buckets to create bouquets of taffy flavors. As well, new chocolate cases were purchased to highlight the additional homemade creations.
2017 to Present — Door County Candy is currently undergoing another expansion! Terry purchased the space next door at 20 N. 3rd Avenue. The two separate properties will become one with a major redesign. Once again, the store will grow by more than double in size. Door County Candy’s store will now reflect all of the fun and enjoyment that is part of their company culture!

Subjects: HUNTR/X (Rumi, Mira and Zoey)
“Demons have always haunted our world, stealing our souls and channeling strength back to their king, Gwi-Ma. Until heroes arose to defend us, born with voices that could drive back the darkness, singing songs of courage and hope. But hunters are more than warriors; our music ignites the soul and brings people together.”
— Celine’s opening narration
To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the award-winning animated musical from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation, KPop Demon Hunters, I created a stunning and captivating portrait of the fictional three-member girl group, HUNTR/X (Korean: 헌트릭스 RR: Heonteurikseu), the film’s main protagonists.
They are a three-member girl group comprising of…
Rumi (강루미) — Arden Cho voices the lead vocalist and leader of HUNTR/X, who wields a saingeom sword in combat. Rumi is the daughter of a demon father and a deceased demon hunter mother. Ejae provides Rumi's singing voice.
Mira (미라) — May Hong voices the main dancer of HUNTR/X, who wields a gokdo polearm in combat. She comes from a wealthy background and is considered the black sheep of her family due to her rebellious nature. Audrey Nuna provides Mira's singing voice.
Zoey (조이) — Ji-young Yoo voices the main rapper and lyricist of HUNTR/X, and the group's maknae. She wields shinkal throwing knives in combat. Zoey is Korean American and was raised in Burbank. Rei Ami provides Zoey's singing voice.
In this striking portrait, the members (From left to right: Zoey, Rumi and Mira) are captured posing in front of the golden HUNTR/X symbol. Take a closer look at the intricate details of each member, including their jewelry, nails, hair, and attire. The members also have their own Korean symbols meaning their names in Korean.
KPop Demon Hunters follows the story of HUNTR/X, a K-pop vocal trio who lead double lives as demon hunters. They face off against the quintet boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. The film revolves around competition, music, secrets, and Korean culture.
The film — inspired by Maggie Kang’s Korean heritage — draws on mythology, demonology, and K-pop to create a visually distinct and culturally rooted film. Production commenced in March 2021. The film’s aesthetic is influenced by concert lighting, editorial photography, music videos, and anime and Korean dramas. The soundtrack features original songs by various musicians and a score by Marcelo Zarvos.
On June 20, 2025, the film premiered on Netflix. By the end of the year, it had become the most-watched original title in Netflix history, amassing over 500 million views. A sing-along version of the film had limited theatrical releases on August 23–24 and October 31–November 2. Notably, its theatrical release was the widest by the number of theaters for a Netflix film and the first to top the box office in the United States. The soundtrack of the film made history as the first film soundtrack to have four songs simultaneously chart in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. In October 2025, the soundtrack was certified double platinum in the US.
It earned widespread acclaim for its animation, visual style, voice acting, story, and music. It received numerous accolades, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (“Golden”) at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards and the 98th Academy Awards, as well as multiple awards at the 53rd Annie Awards, and being featured in Time Magazine as its 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
Honestly, this sophisticated, albeit difficult portrait is gonna be a GOLDEN addition for the collection of “Fictional Character Portraits”.

The Scots-Ogre, Abbott Vanderwagen, 2026
Oil on canvas
36 inches x 48 inches
The Prince isn't charming. The Princess isn't sleeping. The sidekick isn't helping. The ogre is the hero. Fairy tales will never be the same again.
The tenth entry in the “Fictional Character Portrait” series is the all-star ogre, Shrek! We see Shrek in his home swamp seeing the viewers in honor the franchise’s 25th anniversary. I came up with the title “The Scots-Ogre”, because Shrek has a distinct Scottish accent.
Here are facts about the first installment of the “Shrek” film series.
The movie was loosely based on the 1990 children’s picture book, “Shrek!” by William Steig.
It featured the voice talents of Mike Myers (Wayne’s World, Austin Powers), Eddie Murphy (Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, The Nutty Professor, Mulan, Dr. Dolittle), Cameron Diaz (The Mask, There's Something About Mary, Being John Malkovich), and John Lithgow (Footloose, Harry and the Hendersons).
It was theatrically released by DreamWorks Pictures on May 18, 2001 to widespread critical acclaim and massive commercial success, becoming a foundational animated classic.
It is best known for its witty script, pop-culture references, and broad appeal to both children and adults.
It won the inaugural Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (Aron Warner).
“All Star”, performed by Smash Mouth, regained popularity after being featured in Shrek, where it was played over the opening credits. The filmmakers for Shrek had originally used the song as a placeholder for the opening credits and intended to replace it with an original composition by Matt Mahaffey's band Self that would mimic the feel of "All Star", entitled "Stay Home". However, DreamWorks executive Jeffrey Katzenberg suggested for them to use "All Star" over the sequence instead. Although Smash Mouth was initially apprehensive about being involved with what was considered a family film, DreamWorks was insistent on including the band's music in the film. After being granted an early screening of Shrek, the band members were impressed and ultimately agreed to license "All Star" to appear in the film. They also performed a new rendition of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" for the ending scene. Vicky Jenson, the co-director of the film, explained that "All Star" perfectly fits the tone and personality of its titular ogre (voiced by Mike Myers), who is "happy in his solitary existence and has no clue that he has a lot to learn about it".
This painting in the “Fictional Character Portrait” is the best one yet!

The Swashbuckling Indiana Jones, Abbott Vanderwagen, 2026
Oil on canvas
36 inches x 48 inches
If adventure has a name... it must be the next fictional character appearing in this portrait, Indiana Jones.
The portrait is set in the Peruvian jungle, where “Raiders of the Lost Ark” began.
The Indiana Jones franchise revolves around the adventures of Dr. Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones, Jr., a fictional archaeologist. Harrison Ford portrays the character in all five films. George Lucas created the film series, which began in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. A prequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was released in 1984. The series continued with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989 and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. The fifth film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, was released in 2023. Steven Spielberg directed the first four films, collaborating closely with Lucas during their production. James Mangold directed the fifth and final film.
The series has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards, of which they have won 7.
Raiders of the Lost Ark won 4 Academy Awards for Best Film Editing (Michael Kahn), Best Art Direction (Norman Reynolds, Leslie Dilley, Michael D. Ford), Best Sound (Bill Varney, Steve Maslow, Gregg Landaker, Roy Charman), and Best Visual Effects (Richard Edlund, Kit West, Bruce Nicholson, Joe Johnston). It was also given a Special Achievement Award for Best Sound Effects Editing (Ben Burtt, Richard L. Anderson).
The Temple of Doom won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects (Dennis Muren, Michael J. McAlister, Lorne Peterson, George Gibbs).
The Last Crusade won the Academy Award for Best Sound Effects Editing (Richard Hymns, Ben Burtt).
It took nearly a month to paint this portrait, but I considered adding more impressionistic elements to it.
This is the ninth overall entry in the “Fictional Character Portrait” series.

Apple Park, Abbott Vanderwagen, 2026

To commemorate Apple’s 50th year, I created this watercolor painting of Apple Park!
As the corporate headquarters of Apple Inc., Apple Park is located in Cupertino, California.
The campus opened in April 2017 and features a unique circular design by Norman Foster, often called “the spaceship.”
Covering 360 acres, Apple Park accommodates more than 12,000 employees in a central four-story building spanning around 64 acres.
Steve Jobs designed Apple Park as a retreat from the conventional corporate setting, with 80 percent of the site dedicated to green spaces and drought-resistant plants. An artificial pond in the central courtyard adds to the tranquility.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice-these were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. However, Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: CHEMICAL X! Consequently, the Powerpuff Girls were born. With their extraordinary powers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to combating crime and evil forces!
Well, what do you know? My latest and greatest oil-on-canvas portrait features the three vibrant supergirls, brought to life by the renowned cartoonist Craig McCracken. Following the immense success of "The Powerpuff Girls," he embarked on a creative journey, creating other animated shows such as Cartoon Network's "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," Disney Channel and Disney XD's "Wander Over Yonder," and Netflix's "Kid Cosmic."
In this portrait, the girls are captured mid-flight, gracefully soaring around the city of Townsville. Each girl radiates a unique and radiant aura, contributing to the overall dynamic and colorful composition. The downtown area is painted in shades of blue, harmonizing beautifully with the girls' vibrant presence.
This artwork is the eighth piece in the "Fictional Character Portrait" series.

The Electrifying Pikachu, Abbott Vanderwagen, 2026
Oil on canvas
36 inches x 48 inches
I choose you! Get out your Poké Ball, because the next fictional character portrait is Pikachu from the beloved Pokémon franchise. And to celebrate its 30th anniversary, I challenged myself to paint a full scale portrait of the mascot. On the bottom right of the portrait, you’ll see the Japanese symbols (ピカチュウ) meaning Pikachu in Japanese.
The National Pokédex indicates that: “It raises its tail to check its surroundings, but may be struck by a lightning bolt in this position. It gathers electricity from the atmosphere, and uses it to roast berries, communicate with other Electric-type Pokémon, and attack its opponents. Groups of Pikachu having their tails raised can inadvertedly cause lightning storms.”
Classified as an Electric-type Pokémon, Pikachu is a large yellow mouse with a lightning bolt-shaped tail, and red sacs on its cheek which can generate large amounts of electricity. Originally designed to be the first part of a three-stage evolution line in Red and Blue, Pikachu evolves into Raichu through the use of a "Thunder Stone" item, with Raichu intended to be able to evolve into 'Gorochu'.
However 'Gorochu' was removed due to cartridge space concerns, and a pre-evolution for Pikachu, Pichu, was later added in the sequel titles Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Pikachu is widely considered to be the most popular and well-known Pokémon species, largely due to its appearance in the Pokémon anime television series as the companion of series protagonist Ash Ketchum. Pikachu has been well received by critics, with particular praise given to its cute design, and it has been regarded as an icon of both the Pokémon franchise and Japanese pop culture as a whole.
Pikachu is the iconic mascot for the global Pokémon franchise, chosen for its bright yellow color and universally appealing, non-gendered design, unlike the initially considered Clefairy. Its prominent role in the anime solidified its status, appearing in various forms, from inflatable costumes at events like the Macy's Parade and "Pikachu Outbreaks" in Japan, to being an official envoy for Japan's Expo 2025 bid.
How Pikachu became the mascot:
— Original Idea: Clefairy was initially considered to be the mascot, but its pink color was seen as too feminine for a global audience.
— Anime's Influence: Producers chose Pikachu because its vibrant yellow color was eye-catching and appealed to both boys and girls, making it easily recognizable.
— Viral Popularity: Pikachu's popularity exploded through the anime, especially with Ash Ketchum, cementing its role as the franchise's face.
— Game Integration: Pokémon Yellow made Pikachu the starter Pokémon, further integrating it into the core game experience.
Pikachu as a real-world mascot:
— Event Appearances: Pikachu appears as large, inflatable, or foam costumes at numerous events, from toy fairs to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
— "Pikachu Outbreaks": Large-scale events in Japan feature a multitude of Pikachu mascots, drawing huge crowds.
— Diplomatic Role: In 2017, Pikachu and Hello Kitty were appointed as Special Envoys for Japan's bid for the 2025 World Expo in Osaka.
This is the seventh painting in the “Fictional Character Portrait” series.

My next moon painting called "The Snow Moon".
Here's a fact: The Snow Moon is the full moon in February, named by Native American tribes and early settlers for the heavy snow that typically falls during this time in the Northern Hemisphere. It is also known as the Hunger Moon due to difficult winter hunting conditions, and symbolizes resilience, inner strength, and preparation for spring. This moon painting is set in the wintertime at night. How majestic!
