This is my friend Cindy's pig, it was hard getting the picture because he was so curious he wouldn't stand still.

This pig was actually much more than pleasantly plump, he was sitting very happily with his partner in a slop of mud...obviously eating was his top priority.

When I walked up to this pig he became very vocal, you could tell that he loved attention. As a pet of the farm owners he has a very good life just rolling around in the mud and lounging with his partner.

Loved painting these pigs, used to a very limited palette to achieve the look I wanted...loose strokes and I left the detail right until the very end.

While I was painting this pig I just kept smiling to myself, he definitely has his own personal look. I painted the background three different times finally settling on a warm green.

When I first looked at my subject I thought there wasn't enough detail, after much studying of this little piggy I found more and more, the colour changes, the shapes, I so enjoyed painting him.

I enjoyed painting this pig.  I did a yellow underpainting and tried do some really loose brush strokes.

Several people have requested that I paint  pigs, here is my first attempt. I really enjoyed using this colour palette and tried not to over use the pink.  I am really happy with the outcome.
