A Pig in the Kitchen (a journey)

 


I just dropped this painting off yesterday at Cassens Fine Art in Hamilton, MT. If you're in the area, please drop by to see it (and 6 others of mine) in person. It's a lovely gallery, with lots of wonderful art, so it's worth seeing it all. And the people running it are just fab!

I also wanted to share my journey in creating this painting. First I painted "Thoughtful Pig," back in 2018 (6x6in.):


Then earlier this year I painted "Thinking About Dishes," attempting to work out some composition changes before painting it big (6x6in.):



I also did this ipad version (using the art app, Infinite Painter) in order to further refine my thoughts:


Which all led to the larger painting at the top, which is 16x16in. Someday I might paint it even bigger!

Well how cool is that?! Great story. I see Pig is in his blue-cup era too
