Enchanted Pig

My dad used to tell me the story of the enchanted pig when I was a kid--I created this painting for him on his birthday as an homage to these delightful times that I remember so fondly.

I have a thing for pigs and this one has tons of character. (sort of a so ugly it's cute kind of pig). Love the crown on his head too. I think if you made the crown slighly bigger it would stop the eye from going off the subject of the pig.

great work!

How lucky your children will be -- to have the artwork to go along with the stories. I wonder what they'll come up with to add to those? The music? I can hear music when I look at this picture!
