~ Piggly Wiggly Collection~

How are my blogging friends doing today? As for me I am doing better today I felt like joining in on the fun over at ~My Romantic Home~ for Show And tell Friday. And also going to join in for ~Debbie doos~ for Saturday. Today I wanted to post some more animal oil paintings from our collection. On this painting I picked up at an auction in Redlands Ca. I luv the look of the pigs expressions and the look of their eyes.


On this one above you can see the piglets tale on the left of the painting. Both of these paintings are from the late 19century or very early 20 century.



On the second painting you can see the pig looking into the barn and scarring the pups. They all seem to be running on top of each other. And you can also see one pup peeking around the corner. To see if the hog has left.



This little guy seems to be barking at him trying to scare him off. Well I do hope you all enjoy the paintings. And please be sure to visit the other participants. Thanks so much for stopping by today. And have a good weekend...Julian
