This tin wind up toy represents one of the crows from the 1941
Disney animated film Dumbo.The toy was produced eight years after the
film's release to correspond with its 1949 re-release. It was produced
in Japan, but under the Marx Toys.
This vintage toy is one of my favorites and has a place of honor on my desk next to my easel.
Reflections in Red , 24 x 24, oil on canvas
"Reflections in Red", was selected as part of the FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) in the February 2026 BoldBrush Painting competition.
I
love vintage tin wind-up toys. This cheery little big was begging to be
painting. He looks ready to great the spring day emerging from the
cigar box into the morning light.
This is from my continuing series 'Toys in a Box'

Gumballs and Crystal study, 6 x 6, oil on cradled board
I
don't usually paint this small but I'm fascinated by artists that do. I
thought I would give it a try and do a study for a larger painting. I'm
glad I did because I've decided to change the lighting for the Big
Painting. But this was fun.
Stripes
and silver and red: My favorites! The still
life had a brass goblet in it but I decided not to paint it. The gold
reflections still remain in the bowl adding additional color and design.

I love vintage toys and games. I love western themed art. This combines both.
Hope you like it.
