Sunday Drive, 30 x 40, oil on linen
Toys! I love them. This Sunday Drive of the future includes tin rocket ships, robots, a poster from Forbidden Planet and an alien landscape. The rocks are all from my yard.

This Trompe L'oeil painting is all about 'Having a wonderful Time, Wish you were here'.
A hula girl, postcard of a tropical beach, a candy palm tree and a cookie airplane all sum up that summer holiday.
This
is another painting in my Flight series. I have a fondness for well
played with vintage toys. This airplane has almost all of the paint worn
off as well as a missing propeller.
The Trompe L'Oeil painting also has a torn pulp magazine cover, an airmail letter dated 1946, and airmail stamps.
I love old books! I buy them at library book sales, thrift stores, get
them as gifts or pick then up where ever I can find them. I love them
in pristine condition or old and torn. This book, The Flyers by George Barr McCutcheon , was published in 1907 and was read by many at the Muskogee, OK, Public
Library before it was retired and purchased by me about 23years ago.
Don't you love the little portrait on the cover? It's a separate print pasted to the blue, embossed cloth cover.
What can I say? This is a painting of stacked cookies and their reflection.
I love those windmill cookies, don't you? Yum!
