A Pig Painting Day

I still paint animals though it seems I have gone off the rails lately painting plein air landscapes quite a lot.  It has been good to shake it up a little and paint from life.  The pig portrait commission paintings are completed and will go to the framer tomorrow and then next week they will head to a ranch in Texas.
Let's  hope they make happy homes in Texas!  Painting these weeee ones has made for, 
"A Painting Day".

Back To My Pigs - Carla


It has been a good day and I got back to the studio and went to work on another pig painting.  This is "Carla" a little black and white pig.  She looks most eager to make your acquaintance.  She may need a little more brush work tomorrow but as I mentioned she was eager to make her debut.  Painting a lively pig made for "A Painting Day".

Pig Heaven


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".
