Return of the Warthog

This time he made a more formal appearance - on canvas instead of cardboard! And he turned out to be a very colorful fellow. He is 12x16 oil on canvas panel.

  3. I have not been able to visit blogs for a week so it is almost like a vacation to catch up. I enjoyed looking at what I had missed and congratulations on the Santa cover. They have good taste!
    This warthog makes me smile. Such wonderful colors

    1. I like the pink, too. I think he must be the envy of the other warthogs!

  5. Hello Susan!
    Love the warthog! Bing it on! Great strength!
    Also love the "Steeplechase" from the other day. High drama, powerful emotion and exciting movement! Very nice.

    1. LOL - I paintd him in watercolor with silver sparkly things for my very limited edition Christmas card this year. I mailed them out without even taking a photo - what was I thinking?!!
