about this piece

The idea for Charles Wysocki's latest release, Toying with Dinner struck nearly 10 years ago when the artist and his wife, Liz, visited an antique shop where an English biscuit tim shaped like a toy boat caught their eye. "The hinged top where the smoke stacks are located serve as the lid/door to gain access to the cookies. This tin sat in our den for years, and each time I passed it on the way to my studio, I knew that someday it would be featured in one of my paintings. Just recently the light bulb went on when I thought of it as an 'eatery.' Picturing the fun of people dining in a boat designed as a setting to give it a fresh, unique look and christened it 'Seven Sailors' because seven is my lucky number. Then reality and histoy were added. The menu holders, for example, were actually banners carried at Abraham Lincoln's funeral. 'The Vault' is a real antique shop and Aesop's Table Restaurant is serving daily on Cape Cod. The Old Colony Railroad ine ran close to the shoreline, jast as illustrated in this print. I invite you to join me at this wonderful place for a cup of cocoa!"
