Pigs on Animal Wednesday...Why Not?

Nancy McCarroll, an artist I met on Sunday Sketchers, had some photos and a started painting of pigs on her blog a week or so ago. I liked the pigs and got permission from her to use her photo to draw these. I'd never drawn a pig before so these are "beginner pigs!" But I thought they had a certain charm. I couldn't see a tail in the photos, so I just took the liberty of adding one. I felt he needed a tail.

I'm thinking the one in the window is a female waiting for her guy to come home! I think she has a come hither look in her eye and he is definately checking her out!


Henry V says hi today too!
He's not quite sure what all the fuss about pigs is though!

  1. The pigs are cute. Henry doesn't seem so piqued in this photo. He looks so relaxed. HAW.

  8. PIGS! I am reminded of the Chorus in our current SF Opera Production of *Nixon in China* when Mrs. Nixon is taken to *see the Pigs*....the Chorus sings" Pigs, Pigs, Pigs , Pigs, Pigs"....fast and rhythmically....it's so funny!

    Great first -time sketch! Henry, Le Roi, is NOT impressed though!!!! I am sure he feels it should be all about Henry...all the time!

    HAW! Kiss the King!
