Obnoxious Pig SOLD




















oil on canvas panel 6x6 inches

Last Spring I visited Amy's Farm, just a mile from our house where this very swiney pig was standing on the bottom rail of the fence squealing for it's breakfast. Very dramatic! We stood and watched a while. In my painting I tried to capture the feeling I got that day of a "real life pig": the smell, the mud and the obnoxious behavior.

  6. I love your brush work on this pig! I've noticed him for several days on Fresh Paint, but didn't have the time to comment. I'm looking forward seeing more of your animals.
