Painting Pigs


HI, I'm getting ready for another show... Cape Charles Tomato Festival Mason Avenue Art Walk. Check it out in the top right hand of the blog! It's a nice juried show with approximately 40 local artists.

Pictured is the beginning of my new pig painting. I love to paint pigs! These pigs are from a dear photo from my friend Dorothy at The Frog and Penguin Blog.. Check them out at www.thefrogandpenguinn.blogspot.com.(She gave me her permission to use the pig photos--thank you Dorothy!) I 'm going to work on this painting today. The value sketch is above it-- showing I 'll add some dark blue to surround some of the pig.. Hope to have this finished and framed for the show.. take care and have a great weekend, the weather here is perfect for painting outside so I will be!! talk soon, Diana

  4. thank you, Barbra Joan, Beatrice, and Kathy, I had planned to work on them a great deal this weekend but we had problems.. Dusty ran away.. so we spent all Sat. afternoon looking for her. She returned late and then Daisy brought me a present of a returning dead squirrel. She thought it was quite a honey, I wasn't so happy as I ended up burying it at 9:30 for the second time... ah animals.. but I am painting today!! thanks so much, Diana
