Wonderful Cat, 18 x 24, oil on cradled board
I came across this Felix the Cat Crayon Box while engaged in my never ending search for vintage toys. The colors of the box and the pencils screamed out "Paint Me!" so I did. I don't know if any of the pencils are original to the box but I don't really care.
This Trompe L'oeil shows a box of colored pencils manufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company. These were called School Crayon Boxes although these are obviously pencils. Felix the Cat is painting up a storm!
By the way, Felix is one old cat! He first appeared around 1919 and is still going strong!
