And Your Little Dog, Too! By K. Henderson

And Your Little Dog, Too, 28 x 22,  oil on linen

I don't know about the weather where you live but we are expecting the usual spring winds:  50 mph this week. 

Time to watch The Wizard of Oz again.

 
The title of the painting comes from the line in the Wizard of Oz "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" spoken by the Wicked Witch of the West.

Orbit by K Henderson

 

Orbit, 20 x 30, oil on linen

Here's my latest Trompe L'oeil painting in my Vintage Board Game series. This game was manufactured by Parker Brothers in 1959.

My Orbit game is in pretty good shape. Fortunately, I have 2 very beat up Monopoly games that I used for inspiration for the tape, dents and dings.

Batman Puzzle by K Henderson

Batman Puzzle, 30 x 36, oil on linen

 

Basic puzzle:  pieces are intended to be put together in a logical way in order to come up with the desired solution.

British engraver and mapmaker, John Spilsbury, created the first jigsaw puzzle in 1700 when he mounted a map on a sheet of wood which he then sawed around each individual country.  Spilsbury used his product to aid in teaching geography.

My Batman Puzzle was manufactured by Milton Bradley in 1966.

The Batman Cookies (also a puzzle since they are pieces put together in a logical way) were baked by me last week.

The Mouse by K Henderson

                                                The Mouse, 24" x 24", oil on canvas 

This Mickey Mouse card game was manufactured around 1946 and was included in a 'six pack' of other card games. The box measures 2.75" x 1.875".

I love the old yellowed tape and the beat up edges. Mickey Doesn't mind. He just keeps on smiling. Did you know that Mickey Mouse had his 96th birthday in 2024?
