Pork E.Pine

I've mentioned before that as

artists, we never know exactly

what we might be doing next.

I guess these photos need some

explaining.

Our little town hosts the world's

largest "Hog Dog Trials" every

spring. It is a competition that

hog hunters bring their dogs to

where they compete how well

they can bay a wild hog....I know,

we have invited Jeff Foxworthy.

Anyway, the Chamber of Commerce

owns these 800 lb. concrete hogs

that are sponsored by businesses

to help promote the trials. They

are painted and decorated in various

ways by the businesses as a competition

as well.

This is my hog for this year. I spent the

day painting him...white first, to cover

last year's old paint, and then the "E's",

and finally the pine garland...."Pork E. Pine."

When others around town are finished,

I will try to post some of them...they are

always hilarious.

Hope you have a "high on the hog" weekend.
