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.

I just felt like doing another painting with my cowboy friend Howdy Doody.
This unlucky fellow has a broken rope, A horse shoe with the luck flowing out and a few bullet holes in his sheet music. But he just keeps on smiling. There's a lesson there somewhere.

PB&J #2, oil on linen, 24 x 36
In a recent survey when asked about Peanut Butter and Jelly preferences 36 % say strawberry jam is favorite (grape is 31%); favorite bread is white bread (54%); favorite type of peanut butter is smooth (56%) and a whopping 80 % like their PB & J with the crust left on the sandwich.
This painting reflects 3 out of 4 of the top choices. I'm fond of Apricot jam, wheat bread, Crunchy (!!!) and crust on. How about you?

Superman's first appearance was in Action Comics #1. Superman became popular very quickly. By 1940 the amount of merchandise available increased dramatically, with
jigsaw puzzles, paper dolls, bubble gum and trading cards available, as
well as wooden or metal figures.
This 1940 game by Milton Bradley is the first and rarest of the early Superman board games, which
was also offered as a premium in the Superman Bubble Gum Club prize
folder. The box shows Superman stopping an
oncoming airplane.

Wow! I was awarded 2 place Overall in the April Plein Air Magazine contest but I thought this was an online show and it didn't occur to me that I would be in the magazine. So I was surprised when I got a copy of the Sept issue and there was my painting "The Making of a Cowboy" on page 80!
I love unexpected blessings. But aren't all blessings unexpected?

I'm in the process of de-cluttering my studio. And that includes finishing a few paintings that I began painting a LONG time ago.
My hangup on finishing this was the cut glass. I finally just had to tell myself to quit trying to make sense of it all the and just "paint what you see".
Contact me if you would like to add this painting to your collection.
