I'll be adding paintings to this blog at irregular times. My old blog had as part of the title "painting a day" and I never lived up to that.

Little Porkers
A couple of weeks ago, our Tuesday painting group was invited to a site on Underwood Mtn. in S. Washington. The farmers there are raising a dozen or so pigs. General opinion was that they "are sure cute". Naturally, I photographed them with the idea of painting them later. oil on stretched canvas 14" X 11" $300 unframed
Thank you Caroline and Elizabeth; as for painting more pigs, I have a couple more photos that have interesting compositions and which I'll probably paint at some point. But I have to say that I meet most pigs in the grocery store. Farmers in these parts generally concentrate on various fruits, some of which are coming in season!
I'm mostly retired and living in an area that is one of the country's premier spots for beauty- the Columbia Gorge. My house/studio is located out in the country (1st time for this city boy) bringing both joy and challenges.
This is brilliant Todd, the lighting and composition are excellent. You should paint more pigs! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat composition and light and shadow! Who can resist a pig painting??
