WWII Rations - 9" x 18" Oil on Panel - Sold

Click thumbnails to enlarge detail images

Picture
These rations are some of the items that servicemen would have received during WWII.  This particular group of rations would be considered a "Smoker's Dinner Unit" because of the addition of the small 4 - pack of cigarettes.  The off labeled "Pork Luncheon Meat" produced by Hormel Foods is indeed re- labeled Spam.  It's probably not the most nutritious meal, but it's what they had in the 1940's.

Won the "Grand Prize in Painting" award in the 72st Wabash Valley Exhibition.

Faithful Nichols - 16" x 12" Oil on Panel - Sold
Picture
This painting was created as a tribute to the greatest trompe l'oeil painter of the late 19th century, William Harnett. He completed a painting in 1890 titled "Faithful Colt", so I painted "Faithful Nichols". You can see Harnett's painting here. 
It also won the Grand Prize in Painting at the 71st Annual Wabash Valley Juried Exhibition at the Swope Art Museum.
