Go Fish

Go Fish, 10 x 8, oil on board

I was digging through my card games with the intention of painting a Superman Card Box when I came across this great, vintage 1951 Go Fish game. I love the wear and tear on this box and the happy face of the fish.

Superman will have to wait for another day.

The Case of the Drowning Duck

 The Case of the Drowning Duck, 24 x 18, oil on linen

The Case of the Drowning Duck was written by Erle Stanley Gardner in 1942. I love the title of the book. It's about "a chemist who drowns ducks and becomes a murder suspect.".

The Book Cover Woman looks like she's trying to claw he way out of her Plain Brown Wrapper.
