Bordwell Pig Complete

July

2006

The pig is complete! I finished painting him at about 3:30 AM (This morning. Yes. I’m awake.), applying the final coat of pig hair and signing off on him (under the feedbags on the leg). His eyeglasses have been attached with silicone, the cows are moo-ing, the farmer is feeding the pigs – all is well on the Bordwell Feed Farm this fine Sunday morning, so go on and have a look at the rest of the detail images.

With that, I bid you a good weekend – I am taking a couple of days off!

THE END.

Wow Leanne, I had no doubt that this little guy would be fabulous but of course he is way better than even that. He is awesome and looks so lifelike. I have been around pigs and seen those little hairs LOL…I’m not sure which I like better, the fish or the pig, they are both so cool. I bet your clients will be more than happy with this. Where does one find a pig or a fish to paint?

Wow I can hear him squeal with delight all the way to Virginia. This little ( hardly) piggy went to the market! Great job as usual. Spectacular pictures. Take a few days off and pig out m-dear! Love the glasses. Reminds me of Wilber from Charlotte’s Webb “What a Pig!” Squealling with delight for you! Daisy

Whoa, that is one intelligent looking pig! Cracks me up, I’ll bet the client loves him!
I’m playing catchup here today, as I’ve been gone all week, and I had a huge grin when I saw little Tucker! He’s adorable, and i’m sure he has big paws to fill. 🙂

And Leanne, that butterfly on the tiger lilly picture is STUNNING!
