This Little Piggy

                                          6x6 $90
This is a woodcarving pig- not actually a piggybank- that I picked up a few months ago. He actually has a few big black spots, but I thought, for the purposes of this painting anyway, that he would look better spotless. I love the way the ears point forward, thus creating a great shadow above his eye.

    Oh, oh, oh! I love the creaminess of the piggy! And the background is the perfect foil. Nice viewpoint, too!

    Love this piggy! I was curious, do you photograph your paintings in a certain way? I'm having the toughest time photographing mine without getting a horrendous glare. You colors come out so spectacular on your blog, I thought I'd ask! Thank you again for such wonderful daily paintings.
