Colonel Potter''s Paintings - On the military comedy M*A*S*H Harry Morgan played career US Army soldier and former cavalry officer Colonel Sherman T. Potter. To pass the time, Sherman enjoyed painting on canvas. During his stay with the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, he painted a number of masterpieces. They included a portrait of Major Charles E. Winchester and Father Mulcahy, a group shot of Klinger, Father Mulcahy, BJ, Hawkeye and Charles (a birthday present sent to Mildred, Potter's wife), a portrait of Klinger posing as a Greek athlete; a painting of Hawkeye sitting back in a chair with feet propped on a desk and drink in hand; a painting of Radar O’Reilly with a mailbag draped over his shoulder; a painting of Colonel Potter on his horse Sophie [he painted his face over Klinger who actually posed for the picture]; an oversized close up shot of Colonel Potter’s thumb; and a painting of Hawkeye in front of a tower constructed of tongue depressors.
