The Florist-Pig

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!

Time to Eat?

Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.
This was a great loosening up exercise for me.
Most times, prior to starting a painting, I form some sort of idea about what I would like to achieve for that particular painting. There's always a bunch of things I try to keep in mind each time I sit down to paint...but I'll pick out one or two to really concentrate on.
Edges...hard, soft, hidden
Harmony
Value contrast...strong, soft
Chroma...vibrant, subdued
Surface texture...smooth, impasto
And on, and on, and on..............
So the goals for this were loosen up, vibrant color, impasto application.
The painting seems to match the subject matter...sloppy and fun. Let me know what you think.
