Description

Early in my career, when I was still exploring what subjects I wanted to paint, I thought I might like to paint pigs. So I painted Wonderful, Terrific and Daisy’s Debut.

Wonderful & Terrific

Why? Because of my lifelong fascination and respect for pigs ~ probably heavily influenced by a book that I read again and again as a young girl, Charlotte’s Web.

Even as recent as this decade, I watched the movie for a curl-up-on-the-couch afternoon.
I have a cast iron pig door stopper, and a few sweet items like that scattered about my home that remind me of the sweetness of the Charlotte’s Web story.

Melissa Lea with Daisy’s Debut

The first painting that I sold was a pig titled Daisy’s Debut. Wonderful and Terrific are her big brothers😉

 

This abstract expressive painting of Wonderful is mostly acrylic paint, but there are bits of other media, you might find a sparkle in the orange/rust area. You’ll also find amazing texture and interest in the artist strokes and creative marks.

I painted Wonderful (and Terrific) on Canson 60# paper, varnished it, and then mounted it with professional grade medium to cradled wood with sides painted a custom complimentary color. This was all then sprayed with a satin UV protective varnish and is offered in a complimentary white float frame to protect the sides.

This is shipped or delivered at no charge and includes D-rings and wire for easy hanging ~ which I am happy to attach for you before shipping. I also include a certificate of authenticity. I’m happy to upgrade your frame to wood, please don’t hesitate to mention options.

This is a special collector’s piece ~ a one-of-a-kind, expressive abstract painting of a smiling pig that represents the energy of my earliest days as a professional artist ~ hope, excitement, anticipation, and expectation for only good things.
