Yes, it's a pig, not a cow.  I know I did paint sheep on Easter Sunday, and although most of what I paint is cows I can paint other things, and if I have a good reference photo I've taken to work from (this one I took in El Centro) I might choose to paint it.  This would be a great time to collect a few pieces to hang together, and a pig is a good addition in my opinion.

5x7 "Pig" #13/30  original oils by Denise Rich $99

A very wise art teacher I had, my first one around 30 years ago, said if you can see you can paint anything.  Painting realism is about seeing.  I agree with her.  Although my focus as an artist is cows I do paint other subjects, both on a custom painting basis and occasionally just because I feel like it.  This one is just because I felt like it, I love pigs and this one is cute I hope you enjoy it!
