Mr. Pig wears the typical attire of an early American landowner. His little magnet portrait makes great farmhouse décor for the kitchen. Though I painted this portrait recently, it has the look of vintage pig art. He looks dignified, as well, much like an early American land owner would have; he’s dressed in that way. He and the Mrs. make a piggy power couple. Their purpose is to bring on the smiles and brighten your day.

Real life pigs are smart creatures. It’s one of their distinguishing features. Another notable characteristic is that they grow to be really big. If you’re a pig fan, you may enjoy the story of Esther the wonder pig. She was rescued by a couple who were told she was a micro pig that would grow to be a 70 pound adult. Six hundred pounds later, she changed the lives of that couple…. in a good way. She’s got a large following on facebook…. she and her best friend Cornelius (a turkey). They have quite a great life. And an extensive wardrobe, too.

If you’ve got a whole barnyard theme going, you’ll want to check out my goats, and Captain Rooster, too. You can create your own barnyard royalty gallery on your refrigerator.
