"Peaceful Pig" 

8x8 Acrylic on wood panel with 3/4 inch sides

Buy this painting on Daily Paintworks

Another NON-Food painting.  Well, we know he will not be bacon because he is at the Ironwood Pig Sanctuary and seems downright happy and spiritual.  I found that after painting a bunch of pigs for auction to raise money for the pig rescue organizations last year, I became a vegan.  Looking into an animal's eyes gives you a glimpse into their soul, and this guy just speaks to me!  I had to paint him.   Tomorrow back to food paintings.

Art Abandonment, My first

My first abandonment finally got dropped, into a box of FREE bread at the Senior Center in Altadena, CA. It was gone when I came out after my art class. Wonder where it went? It was an ATC size acrylic painting of sunflowers on a mini canvas with an easel for displaying it.

"Art Abandonment is a group designed to encourage random acts of art, left in various locations around the globe. The idea is that folks can make something and leave it for a lucky unsuspecting person to find. Artists can then post locations and photos of abandoned goodies…and finders can let everyone know that they are the lucky finder!"  Doesn't that sound like fun?

"So leave some art. Leave a contact email for the finder…and if you get notified share the message -- Here's an intro page on Typepad for full explanation: http://michaeldemeng.typepad.com/art_abandonment/"

This original ACEO in an abstract loose style. "Incognito" shows a movie star or famous person or just someone who likes to hide behind sunglasses. Done in very bright colors, with watercolor and fine liner work.

ACEO refers to the size - 2½” x 3½” - also called an ATC or artist’s trading card. Signed by artist. Complete contact info on back - comes in a protective sleeve. The photo looks bigger, but it is truly the size of a baseball card. Original, not a copy, painted with acrylics on heavy paper.
