"JFK Ticker Tape Parade"

Oil painting on canvas created by artist Bernadine Stetzel that portrays John F. Kennedy in a motorcade appearance in Los Angeles. Artist Stetzel described this piece as follows: "On his final appearance in Los Angeles, just before the national elections J.F.K. is deluged with confetti and streamers."An enthusiastic supporter of John F. Kennedy, Stetzel was devastated by the assassination. Shortly after visiting the president’s gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery in 1968, she began work on a series of paintings that depicted the life of the late president. Between 1968 and 1985, with a long break in the middle, Bernadine Stetzel created 71 works that followed John F. Kennedy from his christening ceremony to the eternal flame at his gravesite.
