The Faces We Wear

 

The Faces We Wear, 24 x 18, oil on cradled board

I got a vintage Pinocchio paper doll earlier this year and fell in love with the Long Nose Mask. I've been waiting for the opportunity to build a painting around it. Then when I found an Edwardian Era paper mask, the trompe l'oeil still life came together.

Also included in the still life is a Joker with a mask, a wooden Block (M is for mask), and a cover from Black Mask pulp magazine. The magazine also has a bottle of poison on it (covered by the ribbon)so I added a bottle to the mix. The ribbon? I just liked it and wanted to paint it.

One Eyed Jack Award

                                            One Eyed Jack, oil on board, 8 x 10

My painting, "One Eyed Jack", was selected as part of the FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) in the November 2025 BoldBrush Painting competition.

 

I did a similar painting to this last year and I enjoyed painting it so I decided to revisit the subject. These are some vintage toys from my collection. Wooden Blocks, spinning tops, playing cards, chess, and marbles are all toys or games that have been played with by many generations of children.

Yes, I love vintage toys. These tin wind up cats and lead dog are set up on a reflective surface. The Black Cat cigarette tin completes the composition.

Contact me if you want to add this painting to your collection.
