Cute image presented into the pink contest. My own belief is if its created by your mind, followed through with your creative touch, it is art. Good luck in the contest!

Thank you. I certainly agree with you. I did aim for more realism with the larger pig, more cuteness with the baby one. Thanks for your best wishes too.
Comment from Monica Morrell
Well this is fun and different. It almost appears as if both piggies were done by two different artists. That says a lot with your different techniques used for both. Fun and whimsical. While impressed by the two buddies I think I would have preferred a different colored background but that is just my thoughts. Nicely done.

Thank you so much again, artist Monica. I used that background as I cut my painted images out and slightly pasted them on. Yes, with the older and larger pig, I tried to be more realistic; the other, I just did a fun drawing. Perhaps I should have made the background darker or painted a sky, landscape, etc. But thanks again. I value your input.

Interesting my artistic friend! The pigs each have nice details and colors. I like the dark background and eager look in their eyes. A cute entry to the contest, best wishes!

Thank you, artist friend Jodi. I did one of them more for a fun drawing so I don't know how much chance it will have but I value your input and best wishes so much.

What a lovely idea to do this and very creative with the glue. Its unusual and I like it .... the little piggy on the right has funny shoulders but its still cute. They look like they are having a conversation.

Thank you, artist friend, Brenda, for your review and kind comments. I intentionally created the larger one more realistically but the younger one more cartoon like and aimlessly. I pasted them both on a base with a little glue.

I really like to see something different and creative. Been low lately and this cheered me up no end.

Hi Glena, I have to say I really like the pig on the left. The tones you used seem much more life like and I love the way you blended them together. The pig has a nice inquisitive look too! The pig on the right isn't quite as well done. Wish you had done him the same way as the one on the left. Sorry I had to mark you down a little. :o) Nancy

I knew the pig on the left wasn't as good as I was making the little fellow more cartoon like, actually imagined it while I had a little reference for the large pig. I think I mentioned the intention to make the little fellow cuter than life-like in my commentary, and noticed that others here with the five reviews did NOT mark their reviews down. Thanks for reviewing, artist friend. I may try to work on the cutie some more.

Glena, I have always been a fan of your artistry. I hope you know that. You didn't say anything in your notes about the pink pig being more cartoonist. I loved the pig in the left. I just thought the pig on the right needed a little more work because I know what a good artist you are! It was hard for me to mark you down a half point but I thought you could do better.

I accidentally hit the send button before I was finished. I wanted you to know how much I enjoy seeing your work. :o) Nancy

You did a great job with the drawing of the 2 pigs they really look realistic and you gave it a bit of a 3d look with your technique, very well done.

Thank you for such high-quality remarks. The baby piglet was meant to be more cartoon-like, cute. Thank you, kind artist friend for recognizing this.

When I was a little girl, I spent a summer on a farm in Ct. the pigs were my favorite animals on the farm.
You have created these pigs so very well with accurate shape and structure , their proportions are also well shown.
I like the way you have placed the mama pig off on the left and the baby in front of her . I like the way baby is posed with the box.
Colors are well chosen and applied.
This is super cute and I think it would be adorable hung on a farmhouse kitchen wall.
Well arranged against the earth toned background, well presented!

You are so really encouraging with everything you wrote. I was about to be discouraged with one review but you and the other four in this go around were very encouraging. Thank you, artist friend. You really know how to lighten one's load.

OINK! So cute, precious! I just thought with a made-up box for the smaller completely imagined piglet, imagined it, there would be more pink. Thanks so much, artist friend, for reviewing and for your encouraging words.

Thanks for the Reviewing Contest Vote. It is greatly appreciated
Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
In my opinion an art is an art is an art. Never mind the process you follow or the stuff you use. Ultimately the end result should speak to the viewer. This one speaks to me. Nice looking painting. It reminded me of my childhood days when I was the proud owner of a piggy box. Thanks for sharing!
