Charley Harper

I have a quandry.  It's that time of year where I start looking out for a new calendar for my kitchen wall.  Given that it is something I see every day of the year, it has to look good.  Bonus if it can lift my spirits a bit.  I've had some classic calendars (botanicals and vintage travel), some funny (bad kitty and Calvin and Hobbes), some way too serious (Spanish artists and one picture that involved a bloody bullfight. I had to take a sharpie to it and make it seem more, ahem, fun.  Think stick figure rodeo clown).  But the last two years, I absolutely had to have Charley Harper calendars.  I love, love, love his work.  I never tire of looking at it.  It makes me super duper happy.  My daughter framed some of the previous months for bedroom art.  But, here's that quandry.  I do like change. 

It's tempting to get this...


I could express my love for ferrets for 365 days...or not.



I always love Frida...



A Parkes print was my first major art purchase as a college student.  I still have it in my bedroom.  It involves a juggler and I think it makes my husband uncomfortable.  But it's beautiful even 20 years after purchasing it.



But Mr Harpers work makes me so happy...



Oh dear, oh dear, what shall I do?  What would you do?
