Alice in Wonderland Still life

November 1, 2009 by K. Henderson

I’m a BIG fan of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I have over 300 copies of that book with many different illustrators.

I’ve been wanting to do a painting based on the book for quite some time. A Mad Tea Party is my favorite chapter so that is what inspired this still life. “It’s Always 6 O’clock” is oil on canvas, 24 x 30.

I’ve used this battenburg lace in several of my paintings and I think I’m finally figuring out how to paint it

Redwing – oil painting

September 12, 2009 by K. Henderson

Redwing

Redwing is 30 x 24, oil on canvas. It shows a mixture of old and newer icons of the American Indian. There is pottery, corn, beads, blanket, kachina as well as a turn of the century piece of sheet music “Redwing”.

My favorite bit in this painting is the transparent tape holding the sheet music to the wall
