Fireman, 10 x 8, oil on board
I had extra fun with this Trompe L’oeil. This vintage card depicts Fireman Damper Downe. It’s from an Old Maid deck.
Looks like he has gotten a little close to the fire yet his bunker gear remains nice, bright and clean.

Singing Cat, 24 x 18, oil on cradled board
I love these vintage boxes of ‘School Crayons’. I wish I could find more of them.
Felix the Cat sings along as a young boy plays the pipe organ. The box has seen better days but the cat keeps singing.
This trompe l’oeil of colorful pencils is on its way to Winfield Gallery in Carmel – by – the Sea, CA

This trompe l’oeil painting was inspired by a card from a vintage Old Maid game. A few bullet holes were added to create authenticity.

Chef, 10 x 8, oil on board
This trompe l’oeil painting continues my Food Service themed Vintage Cards. This was inspired by a card from a vintage Old Maid game. And why is it that cooks always have such spotless aprons? Not in my world!

Waitress, 10 x 8, oil on board
This trompe l’oeil painting was inspired by a card from a vintage Old Maid game. I thought a coffee stain would enhanced the Waitress theme.

The Dentist, oil on board, 10 x 8
Welcome to my New Series of paintings. These are small, fun trompe l’oeil oil paintings of cards from vintage games.
My first offering is The Dentist from the 1938 game ‘Who is the Thief’.
Note: No vintage card was harmed in the making of this painting. I scan my cards and print them on card stock. I them take the print and rip, smudge, stomp and tape to give them the Character that I want.

Fortune Telling Cat, 24 x 30, oil on canvas
Who can resist a cat that can tell the future? I really like these vintage fortune telling cards because they look like they were hand painted.
The Black Cat is against a green background, winking as though he holds all your secrets in his hand.
The transparent tape keeps the box together
