PPF, Paint Party Friday, Painting Pigs again

Meet Pig Newton, A "Smooshy" pig I painted this week for Wendy

6x6 on wood panel using slow dry acrylics

And I have been painting rolodex cards and ATCs and Twinchies and then swapping them with a great group of friends on Facebook.  We play games like "Make Me Happy" and "Play It Forward" and "Traveling Journals" and "Hitchhiker" all of which are loads of fun. 

Go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATCtravelingjournals/ and ask to join if you are interested.   

Paint Party Friday: Painting Pigs Again

Paint Party Friday:  Still Painting Pigs

It has officially become an obsession.  I started out painting one a week for auction on ebay to raise money for ironwoodpigsanctuary.org and then I painted two a week, and now I can't stop. Here is my latest.  If she doesn't sell she will also go to auction.  Gosh, that feels almost like going to slaughter!  Poor piggy!
