I painted PIG or STATE FAIR PIG a couple of years ago -- after visiting the Illinois State Fair. There were only 6 pigs in the Pig Pavillion -- because it was the summer of "swine flu." The farmers were worried that people wouldn't come to the fair -- if they bought their prize-pigs in for show. It was a silly knee jerk reaction to the epidemic... but understandable.The lonely pig was so beautiful-- I just had to paint him!
The other day -- I painted a smaller version of him -- PIGET. It is in the same family of approach to the larger watercolor.
Long live State Fairs! I'm real sorry to miss the one in Illinois this year-- as I will be away.
