Dorothy and the Tinman by K Henderson


 

Dorothy and the Tinman, 12 x 12, oil on cradled board

I've watched "The Wizard of Oz"  more times than I can remember. I've tried to put all the elements of the movie in the trompe l'oeil painting.

How many of the objects can you from the movie can you identify?

In the Wind by K. Henderson


 In The Wind, oil on cradled board, 20 x 16

This is a Trompe L'oeil painting. Trompe-l'œil (French for "deceive the eye", pronounced [tʁɔ̃p lœj]) is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions.

The 'frame', (not a real frame but painted onto the board) encircles a photo of an early aviatrix, an airmail envelope, parts from aviation games and more.
