Charles Wysocki Monty Minding the Store

This great Halloween print has pumpkins, crows, corn stalks, a spooky wind, and a black cat. Monty Minding the Store is a great fall print by Charles Wysocki.

In this enchanting  image we meet Montana de Oro, nicknamed Monty. Settled in amongst a bountiful harvest at this picturesque  roadside stand, Monty, a proud and capable feline seems to be in charge, holding the crows at bay. In reality the good old American honor system is still practiced here. And Monty will certainly allow that system to prevail, contentedly observing as shoppers stop to select produce for the evening meal, drop payment in the birdhouse and continue on their countryside drive.

"Monty is a remarkable cat," comments Charles. "We found him in the wild on a trip through Montana de Oro State Park on California's west coast. This agile, long-limbed cat quickly won his way into our hearts and we named him after the park."

This picture is signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity and comes in an unframed image size of 23" x 20".
