Hawkeye
10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame
He’s the Hero Bonnie Tyler was holding out for … The hero Gotham needs. Sure, he could be a womanizing, wise-cracking smart ass, but he made hooch in his army tent! Who wouldn’t want him as their doctor? (If my doctor’s office served martinis, I’d go more often. Just sayin’.)
Also … Alan Alda’s Hawkeye > Donald Sutherland’s Hawkeye. Tell me I'm wrong.
For my final mini painting, I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Holiday and a very
Happy & Healthy New Year. CHEERS!

"Coney Island Cowboys"
While scouring the interwebz for early color photos, I came across this image, and HAD to paint it. The structure in the background is the Parachute ride on Coney Island. My grandfathee used to paint that thing!
Back in the late 40s to early 60s, Grandpa had a painting contracting business, and one of his clients was the Steeplechase Park, (amusement park on Coney Island, New York). After school, my dad often helped paint all the buildings and rides in the park.
And they DEFINITELY used all the latest government regulated safety equipment.
And since there WAS NO government regulated safety equipment, Grandpa saved a lot of money. Yanno ... On safety equipment. (And thank goodness, because those race horses and card games weren't going to bet on themselves).
The original reference photo was used with permission from the Ruth Orkin Photo Archive. Many thanks to @ruthorkinphoto The photo was taken on Coney Island during the making of the film “Little Fugitive” (1953) which Orkin made with her husband Morris Engel. Ms. Orkin was an inspiring woman and an award-winning photojournalist & filmmaker. She worked for all the major magazines in 1940s (impressive). According to Google, she'd be 100 years old this year.

Gomez Addams
20x11 Oil on cradled coffin-shaped panel.
From original Instagram post:
Another coffin shaped panel from @trekell_art_supplies
Continuing on with my first ever, annual Halloween themed series of paintings, we have the OG Gomez Addams, played by John Astin. #JohnAstin
Find yourself a partner who loves you like Gomez loves Morticia.
I keep telling my husband he can treat me like Gomez treats his wife .. I'd be totally fine with that ... and since "it's better to give than to receive" ... It's like I'm doing him a favor. Can you believe how friggin' selfless I am?! 😇
(You're welcome, hon).

Morticia Addams
20x11 oil on cradled coffin-shaped panel.
From original Instagram post:
These coffin shaped panels from @trekell_art_supplies are fun! And what a great way to kick off my first ever, annual Halloween themed series of paintings, with none other than the OG Morticia Addams herself, Carolyn Jones.
I asked my husband to start calling me "cara mia", but he thought I said Karmann Ghia.
Should I be mad that he didn't even ASK WHY I wanted him to start calling me Karmann Ghia?
Or! Should I be mad that he AGREED to call me a German car, because it means he was afraid to start an argument with a crazy person, who wants to be known as an odd car name?
I mean, sure ... it'd be weird if I said, from now on, I"d like to be known as Mercedes, but not nearly as weird as asking to be called Karmann Ghia, right?
I can't believe my husband thinks I'm a crazy person who wants to be called a German sports car from the 1960s!
He's in big trouble now.

As You Wish
6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame
Find yourself a partner who says, “As You Wish” whenever you ask them to do something.
With the movie “The Princess Bride” we finally had a Princess who wasn’t looking to marry a Prince (Humperdink). She wanted to marry the bad boy. And not just any bad boy. A pirate! I like her style.

Incontheivable
6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame
Always be yourself. Unless you can be an evil Sicilian mastermind with an impressive lisp. Then be an evil Sicilian mastermind with an impressive lisp. His battle of wits with Westley is one of the funniest scenes in “The Princess Bride” …
And I quote … “Ha ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia’, but only slightly less well-known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line.”
Even thirty some odd years later, if you say the word “inconceivable”, with a lisp (incontheivable), everyone will know what movie you are referring to. Memorable quotes are comedy gold.

Doctor Frankenstein
10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame
You might think it odd, that I’m posting an ostensibly Halloween-themed painting during December, and I’d wholeheartedly agree with you, if I didn’t know that today is the 47th anniversary of the release of the movie “Young Frankenstein”! (47 years ago today would be: December 15th 1974. I saved you from doing the math, because it’s the holidays, and I help where I can. Plus, I find soup kitchens to be depressing, so this contribution seemed more up my alley).
