Here is the finished painting.‘Ride ‘em Cowboys’ is 18″ x 24″, oil on canvas.The challenge of this painting was to put enough detail in the scarf in the background so that it would be interesting but not so much detail that it would become the focal point and overwhelm the painting. I left the colors muted and low key.

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.

Strawberry Delight ,11" x 14"
This oil painting shows strawberries in a cut glass dish on a piece of battenburg lace.
For such a small painting, it was really a challenge. I like painting glass and I really had to keep focused to get all the geometric shapes just right. Available |
I got both of my paintings accepted into the Breckenridge 18th Annual Juried Competition & Show.
The Paintings are I've Just Got to be a Cowgirl and Homestead (pictured on this post)
Strawberry Delight is oil on masonite, 11" x 14". It shows strawberries in a cut glass dish, on a piece of battenburg lace.
For such a small painting, it was really a challenge. This is my first painting of cut glass. I like painting glass and I really had to keep focused to get all the geometric shapes just right.
This painting has been shown at the Oil Painters of America and the International Guild of Realism exhibits. It is slated to go to the National Society of Artists show later this month unless I sell it first.
It is available at my studio, K. Henderson Art

Seems like I’ve been working on this painting forever. And I’m still not finished! This painting is titled ‘Ride ‘em Cowboys’. It’s 18″ x 24″, oil on canvas. It’s another painting in my Western Still life series which features vintage western figures. The background is a silk scarf with a cowboy and horse. Yee Haw! The figurines are two ceramic cowboys, their horses and cactus on a American Indian motif rug.
Remember when movies cost a dime and the cowboy serials were all the rage? Ok, neither do I. But this painting Saturday Matinee brings those time back with a Tom Mix poster, our favorite cowboy, Howdy Doody, a cowgirl sweetheart, American Indian, a horse and a six shooter. What more do you need?
