Forever Brave oil painting by K Henderson

Forever Brave, 12 x 9, oil on board

This little guy is one of my favorite vintage  ceramic figures . He's a little warrior with a tomahawk.
He is standing in front of a wool blanket. Can you tell that I love the color Red?

As I've said before, I love painting the different textures. The roughness of the wool, the shiny hardest of the ceramic and the satin reflections on the table all come together to make a nice contrast

Summerfall Winterspring by K Henderson

Summerfall Winterspring, 36" x 30", oil on canvas

Summerfall Winterspring is another of my contemporary realism oil paintings featuring my vintage toys and ceramics. The main figure is the Indian Princess marionette,  Summerfall Winterspring, from the Howdy Doody television show. Also included is a vintage scarf, a chalk figure (the kind you used to be able to win at carnivals) and a mule from an 1800’s mechanical toy.

Last of the Mohicans

Last of the Mohicans, 9 x 12, oil on panel

Every once in a while I fall into the bad habit of starting paintings. Lots of them. Currently, I have about 10 paintings in progress. The good news is that I will have 10 new paintings to share within the next few weeks. The 'bad' news is that I haven't posted any new work for a while .

So, I thought we could revisit a (not so old) friend, The Last of the Mohicans. As we all know I love old books, toys and other fun things. The vintage American Indian ceramic figurines are part of my collection and make me smile every time I look at them. And these books have an average age of 100 years. Yes, Last of the Mohicans is one of them.

The Mouse Project

A while back I heard about The Mouse Project and I knew I had to get in on it. Sculptor Steve Worthington asked about 20 artists to paint a still life that includes one of his bronze mice. These paintings will then be collected into a book, and profits from it's sale will go to support animal shelters.

My painting is still in progress and I will be posting images on my blog as I complete it. This is just a small section of the 12 x 16 oil painting

Award - Hubbard Museum

                                                          Redwing, oil on canvas, 30 x24

I was awarded second place at the Hubbard Museum's Biennale Grande in Ruidoso, NM. I didn't get to attend the opening because of bad road conditions. You have until April 11th to see the exhibit. 

Hubbard Museum's Biennale Grande

My painting Redwing has been accepted into the Hubbard Museum's Biennale Grande exhibition. The Biennale Grande is a juried fine arts competition that seeks to recognize and honor excellence in the contemporary visual arts of the American West.

R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard founded the Hubbard Museum of the American West in 1992, then presented it to the City of Ruidoso Downs, NM in 2005. It has grown from its original incredible collection of Anne C. Stradling’s Museum of the Horse to being a truly first class historic Western museum.

The Biennale Grande exhibit will be on display Jan 30 - April 11, 2010

Redwing - oil painting

Redwing is 30 x 24, oil on canvas. It shows a mixture of old and newer icons of the American Indian. There is pottery, corn, beads, blanket, kachina as well as a turn of the century piece of sheet music "Redwing".

My favorite bit in this painting is the transparent tape holding the sheet music to the wall

Work in Progress - Ride 'em Cowboys

Seems like I’ve been working on this painting forever. And I’m still not finished! This painting is titled ‘Ride ‘em Cowboys’. It’s 18″ x 24″, oil on canvas. It’s another painting in my Western Still life series which features vintage western figures. The background is a silk scarf with a cowboy and horse. Yee Haw! The figurines are two ceramic cowboys, their horses and cactus on a American Indian motif rug.

I have a nice collection of Cowboy and Indian figurines and I just can’t paint them fast enough. They call to me “Paint me. Paint me”. I’m so excited about this series of pauintings. They make me smile while I’m painting. What more can I ask for?

I LOVE painting the different textures and the way light bounces off the different objects. I can’t wait to see how this looks when I’m finished

Take a look at my other paintings in this series here
