"Party Ears"

oil on panel 7x12
I've been threatening to paint these little guys' portrait for a couple years now. Yes, their ears are REALLY ruffled! I thought it was some new kind of grafting or something like with lacy tulips. Was disappointed to find out it is a method of marking which shots they've had or some record keeping like that.
It started out as an 11x14" panel, and guru Tim suggested I had 2 paintings...SO, it got cut in half. I'll post the other half tomorrow.
This month's theme was "Pig Party", brainstorm of Mike Beeman.

LOL love the palette you use for these funny eared swines! Now I'm intrigued about part 2!
Vicki, this is my favorite Challenge painting of yours so far. These hogs are kinda pretty!
thanks, sil...I was told they resembled Sorolla's beach scenes. I'll accept all praise!
ERIKA, grey, grey, grey...and some turquoise, pink, and blue...and transparent orange.
We had sooo much fun with this crazy subject, didn't we?!
I can tell you had lots of fun with yours!
I've had that photo for several years...they were SO cute. All babies in a small cave-like structure lit by an orangish heat lamp. They would rush up to the door curiously, then giggle and run to the back (or at least it seemed like a giggle) or maybe the giggle was from me.
They would do this over and over, arranging themselves in the most funny poses!
Hi Vicki, Your pig painting is wonderfully colorful and I love the loose, expressive brushwork. Looking forward to your June creation! Marie
thanks, marie. I was so torn about using a photo...but these guys have been lurking in my photos for a couple years begging to be painted!
