feeding the pig

feeding the pig

i found this photograph in a big huge old books/paper/posters type place that is way too expensive and i wish they weren't.
anyway.
i love the photo. it is really blurry and sort of just a bad photo in general, but i like it anyway.
on the back it says "they were feeding the pig you can't see the pig very well, but i think Larry looks just like you"
i thought it was so random.
i love random.

anyway...it turned into this painting.

i always feel bad for pigs. i happen to personally like them very much, and i hate to think that they will end up being somebody's dinner.

i painted the sides of this to hang as is, but i'd like a frame instead.
seems i need to go buy some framing wood, as i'm making stuff and have nothing to frame it with :P
i'm talking too much.
ciao!

updated: framed it! :D

Wonders if the pig was called Larry? :)

Cool new piece Susan - always so much in your artwork to explore.

I always feel bad for pigs too because they seem so carefree and full of charm. :)

I love the balance of the piece- all of the elements come together nicely.
