Additional Details

"As one of the few men in La Jolla who worked from home, Dr. Seuss called himself a 'bird watcher on the social scene,' always looking to create gentle spoofs of his chic female friends. The result was Ted's series La Jolla Birdwomen, a spicy collection of eleven known paintings with lyrical titles, works that could have sprung only from the mind of a genial witness"--The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection (drseussart.com).
