Calico Pie
This is a silly illustration for the 1871 poem "Calico Pie," by Edward Lear. A few of the verses:
"Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree:
Their wings were blue,
And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
Till away they flew,
And they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!"
Under the tree are Lear's own sketches of himself and his cat, Old Foss. In the background, the Owl and the Pussycat sail quietly by: Soon they will arrive at the land where the Bong tree grows, where they will encounter a Piggy-Wig with a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose.
But I haven't painted that picture yet.
