Summerfall Winterspring by K Henderson

Summerfall Winterspring, 36" x 30", oil on canvas

Summerfall Winterspring is another of my contemporary realism oil paintings featuring my vintage toys and ceramics. The main figure is the Indian Princess marionette,  Summerfall Winterspring, from the Howdy Doody television show. Also included is a vintage scarf, a chalk figure (the kind you used to be able to win at carnivals) and a mule from an 1800’s mechanical toy.
