I have many of his prints and nature posters and a mug to drink my tea from with one of Charley's cheerful cardinals on it. You can get Christmas ornaments, too! His geometric perspective of wildlife and the humor he injects into every picture is so great. He will be missed by manyMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-21623346706707232712008-02-07T03:45:00.000-05:002008-02-07T03:45:00.000-05:00I became acquainted with Charley Harper's work in ...I became acquainted with Charley Harper's work in the late 70's, giving 'Lovey Dovey' to my parents as an anniversary gift. They were nature lovers and I was excited about picking out mattes to set off the print.<BR/><BR/>Dad bequeathed this about a year ago to me after his second wife's passing, also a Cincinnati artist, Georgia Armstrong Askew, who knew Charley. I live out west, the work on my living room walls hits on several planes as a connection to home.<BR/><BR/>I recently reaquired the Charlie Harper bug in searching for Valentine's gifts. I am anxious to receive these prints to repeat picking out mattes, expressing my sense of minimalism and humor, just like Charley. He executed his subjects with tones both of mannerisms and color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-89280882676312744552008-02-06T23:05:00.000-05:002008-02-06T23:05:00.000-05:00I can see why you want to frame that notecard - it...I can see why you want to frame that notecard - it's wonderful!

Now all of his work will be much more expensive simply because he's no longer here to produce more. Lucky for collectors that already had his work but not so great for you who still wants to acquire it.<BR/><BR/>Cindy at Rosehaven CottageCindy Garber Iversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543940998038589239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-56544745128124477072008-02-05T20:33:00.000-05:002008-02-05T20:33:00.000-05:00I'd never heard of Charlie Harper, so I headed str...I'd never heard of Charlie Harper, so I headed straight for Amazon.
