BoldBrush Painting competition

                                            Clue, oil on canvas, 12" x 16"

 "Clue", was selected as part of the FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) in the September 2026 BoldBrush Painting competition.

Clue is a murder mystery game devised in 1943. Who dunit?

Was it Colonel Mustard  in the conservatory with the knife?

I love this game. How about you?

Singer by K Henderson

 

The Singer, 10 x 8, oil on board

This is the second of three in my Music themed Vintage Card trompe l'oeil paintings.

My Contemporary Realism still life paintings tend to be complicated with lots of 'stuff' in them. With these vintage card paintings, my goal is to keep them simple and add nothing outside the card. I broke my rule by adding a scrap of sheet music.

Fireman Vintage Card by K Henderson

 

 

Fireman, 10 x 8, oil on board

I had extra fun with this Trompe L'oeil. This vintage card depicts Fireman Damper Downe. It's from an Old Maid deck.

Looks like he has gotten a little close to the fire yet his bunker gear remains nice, bright and clean

The Dentist by K. Henderson

 

The Dentist, oil on board, 10 x 8

Welcome to my Vintage Card Game Series of paintings. These are small, fun trompe l'oeil oil paintings of  cards from vintage games.

My first offering is The Dentist from the 1938 game 'Who is the Thief'.

Note: No vintage card was harmed in the making of this painting. I scan my cards and print them on card stock. I them take the print and rip, smudge, stomp and tape to give them the Character that I want.

Fortune Telling Cat by K. Henderson

 

 

Fortune Telling Cat, 24 x 30, oil on canvas

Who can resist a cat that can tell the future? I really like these vintage fortune telling cards because they look like they were hand painted.

The Black Cat is against a green background, winking as though he holds all your secrets in his hand.

The transparent tape keeps the box together.
