"In artist Vern Scharf 's world, dogs drive cars and ride skateboards, cats dress up like Beethoven and football heroes, and desserts, pizza and cheese are as glorified as a Vargas pin-up..."  --Andi Matheny,  examiner.com

A look at the whimsical side of life and the world. Art painted in Santa Cruz. Art that usually starts out with a smile. Small scale paintings in acrylics on stretched canvas. Designed to be affordable personal-sized art. Art designed to bring into a kitchen, a personal space, a cubicle, a bath, or a home office. Art that is a window to another world. 

Some subjects include: What do dogs dream about? Is that cat looking at me or thinking about tuna? The excitement and perils of love. Studies of local lighthouses, sailboats, even flying eggs from the Planet Cholesterol! 

Each designed to take your eyes off the current moment. You could even call them a permanent, fairly cost-effective break from reality.
