Honorable Mention in Plein Air Salon

I was awarded an Honorable Mention in the August Plein Air magazine . Honestly, could they have made the "OVER 65" any bigger??!! I think it's appropriate that I ask that question while the title of the painting is "False Pride" HA!
 

The Unlucky Cowboy By K Henderson

                                        The Unlucky Cowboy, 16 x 20, oil on Canvas

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

  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.

Boomer or Bust oil painting by K. Henderson

 

Boom or Bust,  36 x 36, oil on linen

 

I love the graphics an colors of this game. Parker Brothers manufactured this financial game in 1951

Players move around the board according to the throw of the Dice. Properties such as beauty Shop, Department store, etc are bought and sold at prices that rise and fall quite unexpectedly, depending on whether the conditions are NORMAL, BOOM times or BUST (Depression times) The game is quick- moving and amusing. The game ends when all but one player becomes bankrupt.
