Fireman Vintage Card by K Henderson

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 by K. Henderson

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

The Dentist, Vintage playing card by K Henderson

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 by K Henderson

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

 

Old Crow at Huckleberry Fine Art

I love vintage tin wind-up toys and this little Hopping Crow is one of my favorites.The painting is from my continuing series ‘Toys in a Box’

Wonder Woman by K Henderson

Wonder Woman, 24 x 18, oil on cradled board

Wonder Woman is not technically a Super Hero because she has no Super Powers. She’s just your ever day Amazonian who is as Beautiful as Aphrodite, as Strong as Hercules, as Wise as Athena and as Swift as Mercury.

Wonder Woman first appeared in Comics at the beginning of World War II and fought along side our troops against the Evil Axis. That’s what this painting is about.

Wonder Woman’s war propaganda  included the “Keep ‘Em Flying” campaign. The slogan was used in recruiting for the Aviation Cadet Program.

Like Superman, Wonder Wonder disguised herself by putting on a pair of glasses. She instantly became Nurse Diana Prince.

I couldn’t find an invisible plane to use in this painting so this blue game piece represents both Wonder Woman’s plane and the plane that Steve Trevor crashed on Paradise Island

Rounding out the painting is the Golden Lasso of Truth and the bullet deflecting Bracelets
