Knife, Lantern, Manual

Original oil painting on deep profile wrapped canvas. I handcrafted the wood float-style frame.

This richly detailed still life captures the spirit of vintage adventure with a nostalgic trio: a pocket knife, an old Explorer Scout Manual, and a timeworn metal lantern with a unique design. Each object tells a story of simpler times—campfires, trail hikes, and nights under the stars.

Perfect for lovers of the great outdoors, this original oil painting is a tribute to classic Scouting gear and the rugged charm of vintage camping tools. Whether you collect antique lanterns, appreciate old Scout books, or simply cherish the call of the wild, this painting will bring a warm, adventurous touch to your space.

Ideal for cabin décor, or as a thoughtful gift for your outdoorsy friend, Scouting alumni, or vintage collectors.

When there is more than one item in my still life paintings, I will often choose them by ensuring that the first letter of each is consecutive in the alphabet. For this painting, Knife, Lantern, Manual the consecutive letters are K, L and M.
