Dallas Character Jock's Portrait

Yeah but if you remember when the issue first came up Bobby actually tried to take the photo down, and he had never even talked to Mrs. Ellie.

Well in that case he was entitled to change his mind if he wanted to take the picture down. The other scene was after all in the first reunion movie years later. We all change our minds about things we should or shouldn't have done in our lives as we get older.

Do we know who's portrait that is that replaces Jock's at Southfork? I like to imagine that it's Aaron Southworth but as far as I know it was never stated.

I would love a copy of that painting.

I've often searched eBay in the hope I'd find one for sale, no such luck.

Who is the portrait that replaced Jocks?

It's just a generic portrait that appeared on many TV shows such as The Big Valley, Matlock and even appeared in the music video for the Kenny Rogers song The Gambler.

Who is the portrait that replaced Jocks?

Wes Parmalee. Or maybe the patriarch, Ben Wesley Parmalee Stivers (Stiver's being his married name which he dropped in the spring of 1986).

You’re not kidding. I just checked out The Gambler video and it’s in the first scene.

That can't be a painting of Wes Parmalee or Ben Stivers because it would mean that it's still a painting of Jock Ewing.

The most iconic Dallas prop of them all.

The painting of our beloved Jim Davis as the Ewing patriarch Jock Ewing.
