I was in pig heaven today painting the first of my three commissioned pig portraits. The client asked for three small 6x6 inch pig paintings. I am to choose the photos and basically work it out what is really wanted. Since I am guessing at what the client wants I may do more than three pig paintings and let her have more of a choice? Pigs are so cute when they are young. My husband says the same thing about cats. He is a dog lover. They say pigs are intelligent but I have really never spent a lot of time around pigs. I remember my cousin handling his pigs on his farm in Indiana and they seemed rather aggressive and I sure did not venture into their paddock area. Give me courage to tackle the next pig portrait tomorrow. Pig painting and pig memories have made for, "A Painting Day".

It's so cute!!! Love the green background, too!
It's a wonderfully fun painting, Ruth. I guess you're really pigging out. (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
The little pigs are indeed cute, but big ones can be dangerous.
Wonderful painting! With you being such a natural at animal paintings I am sure you will do the pigs justice:) Have fun with it and that will shine through. The client will love them all!
Such feeling in the piggy face, Ruth! It makes one wish that he can always be a pet, and loved,nothing more!
Vous avez su capturer le regard du cochon... Une belle interprétation.
Gros bisous
