- Chasing the Pig -

For this painting I used acrylic paint on illustration board. One summer, at the kids' camp where I was working at the time, the local librarian came over and
read the younger kids the book If You Give a Pig a Pancake. When she was done with the story, one of the staff people came out in a pig costume
to play with the younger kids. The only problem was that the 9 and 10 year old boys looked around and, by process of elimination, they figured out that
the person in the pig costume was the lead counselor for their age group. They proceeded to attack and maul the pig. It was quite amusing, and I luckily
had taken some photos which in turn inspired this picture. This was completed in April of 2003.
