"Help Wanted" SOLD

"Help Wanted"

12 x 12in oil on museum quality panel

$600

Well, if you wondered how long the "getting in touch with his feminine side" would last, let your wonderment stop here.

Eddie has taken to just cramming the flowers in anything, willy-nilly, and then calls for Phyllis to help "tweet" it.  

I think he means tweak it, but.... does it really matter??

One giant sunflower.

One very small mouse.

Help Wanted.

"Reflections of...the Way Life USED to Be" SOLD

 "Reflections of...the Way Life USED to Be"

12 x 12in oil on museum quality panel

$550

I think Eddie's grand gesture may be backfiring a bit.  His plan to garner extra media attention for mentoring the mystery offspring, one moustache wearing Eddie Pierre, has turned out to be a bit more than he bargained for.  Phyllis is trying to do damage control, lecturing Pierre on the importance of manners and that playing with Mr. Eddie Bill's tail is strictly off limits.

We are less than a week into the summer visit and  Eddie's already reminiscing about the "good ole days" to Phyllis.....says someone should have warned him that the Big Brother Program for mentoring youths was really the Big Bother Program....

All I can think is...
What goes around, comes around;)))

"The Fine Print" SOLD

"The Fine Print"

6 x 12in oil on museum quality panel

Just SOLD/Available in Print/Click Here

The cliff hanger is finally over.  It has taken all this time to piece the story together.

I knew Eddie had managed to pull something off when I spied a whole pile of gifts for him under the tree on Christmas morning.

Here's the skinny on it.

Evidently Phyllis, with the help of Eddie's manager Chumley, finagled a last minute deal with Santa.

I'm not sure who's idea it was--but for once Eddie is actually doing something for someone other than his furry self.

He has waived all modeling fees on the next painting of himself and has agreed for the money to go to the PAWS animal shelter right here in Paris. 

Obviously signed the papers under duress, from the look on his face:))

Now that the press has gotten hold of this,
in true Eddie fashion, he's insisting that this was his idea and how thrilled he is to be helping all those poor, ugly, homeless, toothless, cats down at the shelter (can we just say no one has ever accused Eddie of having a tactful bone in his body...AND he seems to somehow "forget" that I found him at the pound)....thanking, as it were, all the "little people".  I'm wondering if he's referring to Phyllis or just the fact that he views everyone other than himself as "the little people".

So here's the deal--the very next painting of  Eddie will be placed up for auction style purchase with all of the proceeds going to PAWS. 

Eddie is already bragging on how much he figures folks will pay for a portrait of him.  I told him I would guess at least 50 cents which put him into a real tail spin.  Couldn't resist:))

"The Bored Room"

6 x 12in oil on museum quality panel

$350

This original Just SOLD--Prints Available/Click Here

  I happened to catch sight of an Eddie "memo" earlier this week:

sTrAteGeriE MEetiNg at 1 n thE BoreD ROom 

Apparently a Bored Room is a Board Room which happens to be my Bathroom.

Eddie says he does some of his best thinking there.

I say

that's not saying much.....

"Dreaming of.... a White Catmas?" SOLD

"Dreaming of....a White Catmas?"

8 x 8in oil on museum quality panel

SOLD---Prints Available, Click Here

Since hearing of his rating on Santa's Naughty/Nice list (see latest Eddie installment), Eddie has been hustling his buns all week.

(It is now obvious---he CAN get by on less than 16 hours of sleep).

*Meetings with Phyllis in **"The Bored Room" (his spelling, not mine)
 

*Contracts examined, letters written.  **"The Fine Print"

*Even flowers for Phyllis for all her hard work (never mind he swiped them from my desk)
**"Flowers for ME??"

Apparently, after all that,  a plan has been hatched. 

Whatever it is, it seems to be in the box that Eddie and Phyllis have been moving all over the house--window to window, front porch to back porch, waiting for the FedEX man. 

Even I am stumped this time, and I know Mr. Smooth Fur pretty well.....

What does Eddie, the classic re-gifter, have IN that BOX???

"It's Not Looking Good"

8 x 8in oil on museum quality panel

$350

Well, just as Eddie feared--Phyllis, on the good word of one of the elves, 

delivered the alarming news today. 

Santa does keep a list. 

And forget whether he checks it twice or not---the one with Eddie's name on it is, well....

suffice it to  say 

Santa is storing it digitally due to the length of it.

I didn't know cats could sweat 'til today.....

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" SOLD

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"

8 x 8in oil on museum quality panel

$350

Apparently, Eddie does miss me--in spite of all the caustic text messages I have been receiving from him.

As in:

We r fine without you.  I did not eat the last can of tuna--Phyllis is using it to sit on to brush my fur

I did not use your American xpress Card to order fur cream.  The package just got dropped off here by miztake

Glad you r gone.  The cleaning grils came and I did my best to leave lots of fur fer them to vacuum up  

I caught on when the airlines emailed me and said to please quit calling in that squeaky voice to see if my round trip ticket was still good.  Evidently Eddie thinks that maybe I am not coming home...(translated....who will support his furry buns???) and has taken to sitting at the window on the lookout for my car to pull in the driveway.

Naturally, Phyllis, no doubt the one who called the  airlines, is trying to fill in the gap of my absence.  Along with her usual Eddie duties, she has taken to creating a playlist of songs to keep his spirits up:

"You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby"

"Your Too Sexy for Your Fur"

and one of my favorites...

Don't Worry, Be Happy::)))!!  (click here to listen in:)

"Busted!!" SOLD

"Busted!!"

8 x 8in oil on museum quality panel

$350

After the Derby day debacle, Phyllis had sworn to go on a diet.  She should never have mentioned it to Ed.  He fancies himself as the next Eddie (AKA Jenny) Craig.  Says he knows what it takes to get oneself in svelte condition.  So he decided the best thing would be for Phyllis to eliminate ALL cheese from her diet.  He may as well announced that he was also going to stop shedding--both things about as likely to happen! 

Well, you know how they say we trade one addiction for another? 

I blame myself for bringing home the cupcakes, but how was I to know.

Phyllis  decided that the strawberry and carrot cake cupcakes  counted as a fruit and vegetable serving. 

I like the way Phyllis thinks:))

"Never Look a Gift Cat in the Mouth" SOLD

"Never  Look a Gift Cat in the Mouth"

8 x 8in oil on museum quality panel

$350

Never look a gift cat in the mouth.

Especially if his name is Eddie.

Eddie has been wining  and dining Miss Phyllis to beat the band. 

First it was the wine ( the level in my wine vinegar has been going down and down).

Then flowers started popping up everywhere (and happen to be an exact match to those growing in the neighbors yard). 

While Phyllis is totally bowled over by Eddie's attentiveness, I, on the other hand, am not.  

He has been spending an inordinate amount of time reading and taking notes in his new favorite book, "When Good Things Happen to Bad Cats" (and I hear him snickering quietly to himself as he's reading, which I confess, makes me uneasy).   

Higher education is not all it's cracked up to be...I wish I had never enrolled him in that reading program No Cat Left Behind--worst money I have ever spent! 

No, I take that back.  The money I paid the shelter for Ed would have to edge out the reading program.  They said I could "try him out" for two weeks.  Wish someone would have warned me that would be the best two weeks of my life....
