On October 27, 1966, Henderson recorded a hat trick and added an assist for a 5-point night to lead the Detroit Red Wings to their first win of the season, a 5-4 comeback over the New York Rangers.

Down 2-0, Detroit looked headed for another loss… until Henderson took over. He scored three straight goals (a natural hat trick), then added a fourth in the third period to seal it.

Even more impressive? Gordie Howe and Alex Delvecchio were held pointless, while Henderson and Norm Ullman did all the damage.

Desert City, Paul Henderson

This is part of my Fantasy/City series. This one is a bit more abstract. It reminds me of coming over the hill in the desert and seeing Las Vegas from 30 miles out.

Calico II, Paul Henderson

I started out with a 2.5 inch taping knife then added texture, then impressing paint lines with the edge of 2 sizes of cardboard. I was looking for a pleasant design and color combination.

Orange Flash, Paul Henderson

I started knowing I would create a dynamic lightning like design across the whole painting. But to 'pop' that feeling I laid in softer blends of color and texture first.

Fruit of the Vine, Paul Henderson

Part of a series of Wine Settings/Still Life. I live in the Yakima Valley in the state of WA where including nearby areas over 300 wineries. The grapes and vines are from my garden. I love contrasting an abstract background with a more realistic approach over the top. It makes it 'pop'.

Emerald Arcs I, Paul Henderson

This is the 1st of 2 paintings. I wanted to create a dynamic mix of color with a 'flash' of contrasting color a bit like lightning or an arc across the blend of colors. This took about 3 layers acrylic paint.

Earth Shades III, Paul Henderson

This is part of my 'swirl' color abstract series done in a dynamic immediate response type of painting and style. I wanted 'earthy' colors.
