This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Valri was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of great photos.

 I may be starting a trend for myself. This is my second pig in two weeks. They may be waiting for their buddy so they can go to market.
Painting the color "white" is always fun.

 I just couldn't resist the pig. They usually strike me as humorous critters. Dunno...might just be me.

This is oil on a 7x5 canvas panel. You can look down and see each phase of this painting. From the toning of the support with thinned alizarin crimson...to the sketch...to the thin layer of mid value colors...to the climax of the thick, bright, sun lit areas.
Hope y'all like it!

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Gillian supplied all the reference photos. Thanks, Gillian.

 I chose a close crop of a pig because usually pigs are fun, feel good, subjects and fairly easy to paint. It turned out I was wrong and wronger on both counts!
I was all over the map with those colors and the longer I fussed, the more baleful that eye became. I thought I'd better call it quits before he had me for breakfast with his eggs!                            

I used a heavily loaded brush and allowed the paint to mix on the canvas....gets some interesting blends that way.
C&C welcome. Thanks for checking it out!
