Flying Machine by K Henderson

 

Flying Machine, oil on cradled board, 12 x 12

I have a few metal airplanes in my toy collection. All of them are well worn and show signs of a lot of play!

This trompe l'oeil shows one of these planes against a background of early plans for The Flying Machine.

This is another in my Vintage Toy and Flight series.

The Letter by K Henderson

 

                                    The Letter, oil on cradled board, 12 x 12

Someone asked to create a "Civil War" themed painting. This Trompe L'oeil is the results.

The background: During the Civil War J W Sword published a newspaper for the confederacy. As his paper supply ran out, he stripped the wallpaper from his home and printed the news on the back of the paper.

The letter shows a confederate cancellation stamp and is addressed to Richmond.

The glasses and pocket watch are typical of the period. The watch belonged to my Great-Great Grandfather

With a Cherry on Top

 

With a Cherry on Top, 10 x 8, oil on board

I wanted to create a fairly simple painting and so I chose another Chocolate Tart image. Who can resist chocolate with whipped cream and a cherry on top?

Baked Goods by K Henderson

  

Baked Goods, 24 x 30, oil on linen

I love this vintage Bakery box. And who doesn't love pastries?

It was hard to decide which kind of pastry to include since all pastry is wonderful. I decided on Berliners (bismarcks, jelly donuts, Pączki, what do you call them?) I also included a favorite knife and linen napkin.

It was Neither More Nor less than a Pig

 

It was Neither More Nor Less Than a Pig, 18 x 24, oil on cradled board

 The title comes from a line in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The porcelain was a bigger challenge than I thought it would be.

The Chocolate pig now lives in my freezer. He was such a good model.
