Here’s my latest Trompe L’oeil painting in my Vintage Board Game series. This game was manufactured by Parker Brothers in 1959.
My Orbit game is in pretty good shape. Fortunately, I have 2 very beat up Monopoly games that I used for inspiration for the tape, dents and dings.
Available
Brer Rabbit Molasses, 16 x 20, oil on cradled board
I recently read that one of the most collected items is vintage cooking pieces. I happen to be one of those collectors. Many are keepsakes handed down through family.
This Trompe L’Oeil painting shows a 1920’s Brer Rabbit Molasses ad. The rabbit peeking from behind the ad is a die cut ‘premium’ from the same company. The handmade (made by me) chocolate girl and rabbit is from a vintage chocolate mold. And, yes, I made the Ginger Bread Man, too, from a recipe in a vintage cookbook. The other vintage items include wooden blocks, a ginger can and a cookie cutter

Wonderful Cat, 18 x 24, oil on cradled board
I came across this box of pencils while engaged in my never ending search for vintage toys. The colors of the box and the pencils screamed out “Paint Me!” so I did. I don’t know if any of the pencils are original to the box but I don’t really care.
This Trompe L’oeil shows a box of colored pencils manufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company. Felix the Cat is painting up a storm!
By the way, Felix is one old cat! He first appeared around 1919 and is still going strong!
