July 19, 2013 — Remington the Well-Read, by Charles Wysocki, 1928-2002 …

Perkins the Well-Computed … resting her head on computer mouse … July 1, 2013.

An American painter, Charles Wysocki’s works “depict a stylized version of American life of yesteryear. While some of his works show horseless carriages, most depict the horse and buggy era.”

“In 1972 my father started his relationship with AMCAL. Together they published the first Americana Calendar.” — (Charles Wysocki Gallery – owned and operated by the Wysocki family)

Think I have one of his calendars … Definitely have seen Ethel the Gourmet (below left) at Mom and Dad’s, 17th Lane NE … on the wall by the door in the small bathroom.
