1922-2007
There is more than meets the eye in a Charley Harper Serigraph. The first
look may reveal an animal, bird, tree, some color...but then the unique
linear patterns and shapes grab you with a special Harper message of
some little drama in life taking place right before you.
Charles Harper is probably the only wildlife artist in America who has never
been compared to Audubon. And never will be. For his is wildlife art without
the fuss and feathers - minimal realism, he calls it. "I don't try to put
everything in; I try to leave everything out," he explains, adding impishly,
"I never count the feathers in the wings; I just count the wings."
Reared on a West Virginia farm he spent most of his life residing in Cincinnati.
Charley sadly passed away on June 10th, 2007. His artwork, his humor and his
kind heart will be sorely missed by all whom he has met and touched. Charley
Harper had made three personal appearances at The Frame Workshop.

details.
As Charley said, "I don't count the
feathers. I just count the wings".

Shadow Dancers - Water Striders
Can you think of a better name for
insects that walk on water? Our ancestors
couldn't either, but your field guide calls
them water striders. They hike around on
the pond all their lives without even
getting wet feet, and in shallow water on a
sunny day their shadows sink like stones
and
tag along on the bottom. But who minds a
wet shadow? If you had wide-spread, waxy
feet that didn't break the surface film,
you, too, could walk on water. And be
famous for fifteen minutes.
The popularity of "Jesus Bugs - Water
Striders" issued in 1969 has encouraged
Charley Harper to release a sister
serigraph image in 2006. (The original
Water Strider image retails for $1,200 -
1,600 on the secondary market.)

Jigsaw Puzzle - Charley Harper
Mystery of the Missing Migrants, 1990, by
Charley Harper has been thoughtfully
reproduced in this engagingly and intricate
1,000-piece interlocking jigsaw puzzle.
Combining superb color reproduction,
stunning and unusual images, and sturdy
construction to delight generations of
novice and veteran puzzleworkers.
In the artist's own words: For centuries,
the neotropical migrants in this picture
have shuttled between winter homes in the
tropical rainforest and nesting sites in
our woodlands. Now their populations are
plummeting. Why? Habitat destruction. Down
There? Up Here? Is your favorite songster
in this flock? Each April, I listen
anxiously to the dawn chorus for the return
of my favorite, that world-class flutist,
the Wood Thrush. Are silent springs
forthcoming? Remember the canary in the
coal mine?
Forty-five birds are presented in Charley
Harper's own unique "minimal realism"
style. See the back of the puzzle box for
the identification of each species.
Puzzle size: 29 x 20 inches

CH-AR-82
Armadittos
Seems like everybody's moved to the Sun
Belt, including fire ants and armadillos.
Folks are fond of armadillos, but everybody
is anti-ant. Except armadillos. They
enjoy a fiery antypasto before such
armadeli entrees as tarantulas, roaches and
worms. Armadillos can cross a river by
holding their breath and walking on the
bottom, but few ever make it across an
expressway. Armadillo offspring are always
quadrulplets, always all boys or all
girls. You could call them armadittos.
