Want to know hot to catnap with a smile? How to smell a rat? Everything you wanted to know about the Killer Sparrow of Ipswitch but were afraid to ask? It's all here and more in "Frederick the Literate," Charles Wysocki's wonderful painting for all cat and book lovers.
These are any cat's dream books from "Field Guide to the Garbage Can" to "A Tale of Two Kitties." And don't miss the authors, who include such international best-selling catty writers as Thomas Cheshire and Kitty Mewpur.
“This is one of those cases when after all these years of doing more subtle ‘story’ humor, all my more obvious puns were piling up. They had to come out!
“Although we’re all very dedicated and serious about our artwork, there is always time for humor. As soon as we came up with the idea, we knew what we had to do it. My wife Liz and I spent our breakfasts, lunches and dinners thinking about the book titles for this painting, including ‘Cat-O Nine Tales, "Rat Hole of the World' and 'The Catebury Talesce I Have Known.’
“We’re both cat lovers and this painting is dedicated to Frederick. He was one of our favorite cats, if not the favorite. Fred was Mr. Wonderful but now he’s in the library in the sky.”
The Personal Commission was created by The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. as a way for all customers who desire so to collect an artist whose fine art editions often sell out and are difficult to find. Collectors “commission” their personal copy of a given edition during a set period of time. Delivery of completed edition begins shortly after the edition size is determined by the total number of orders received during the Commission Period.
This Fine Art Anniversary Giclée Canvas edition will be limited to the number of prints ordered during the commission period May 1, 2011 - June 30, 2011.
