"Keep the humorless guessing." -- Peter Chase"

To be honest, there is not a lot of philosophical hokum behind these paintings. They all started out as drawings in the artist's sketchbooks, in which he has been drawing in earnest since 1973. At present he has completed enough of them to fill the trunk of a luxury automobile and is working on filling a small U-Haul. Mayforth makes a concerted effort to draw every day and never knows where it will take him.

His prints are from paintings that are acrylic on wood panel. Some of them are finished with a crackle varnish and some aren't.

Mayforth considers himself lucky to have graduated from Skidmore College with a degree in fine art because he was playing rock and roll in bars throughout his college career. After moving to Boston in 1975, he decided to pursue a career in illustration and has been working as a freelance humorous illustrator for the past thirty years. Throughout his career he has balanced commercial work with personal work.

Colors not accurate

The yellow background shown in the picture is far more orange. The dog is far more blue. Overall it is much darker than pictured. I would have preferred it more like the picture but it is very nice and fun.

Loved the picture!

My sister is a therapist and we talk a lot about "critical thought" and love dogs. This wonderful, whimsical take is the perfect Christmas gift. Very high quality print and I appreciate the handwritten/drawn note for the artist. Well done!

Love the image, but not the border.

I love this print. However, I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to keep it because I didn't realize it has a rather significant white border; I'm not crazy about the border. Looking back at the description I see that the size of the "image" and "overall" were not the same, but I just didn't pick up on that. The picture online doesn't show the border, which is disappointing. I'll decide what to do in the next few days.

Yes!

Do I really need to review this picture? Everybody loves it, including me! It is a little bigger than I thought, but that's my fault as the artist put the dimensions right there. I love so many of his paintings, and yet it wasn't hard to choose this particular one. Is Mayforth a dentist? Is he a coffee drinker? Does he own a dog? I think so! Very well packaged.
