This Little Pig (Cochon) went to Market ~ Another set of Silhouettes!

This little Pig went to Market, and this little pig stayed home…. 

Pigs for your Kitchen! 

I am running out of ideas for these chairs!  I think that I may be done.  Well, there may be 2 more silhouettes that I paint, I am not sure if I will feel like more or not.  Anyways, here are my last two.  These bring back memories of my Mom and Dad playing with my little toes when I was a girl.  They would wiggle them and say this nursery rhyme.

This Little Piggy went to Market (English and penciled on the background) 

In French below it says A cochon est pour le Marche, which hopefully translates into A PIG FOR THE MARKET.  Again, I said in the last post, my French is not good and neither is my English at times.  I love the drape and the interest that it brings to the painting.  The simple pen and ink execution of the chair is brought up to a different level by the wrap.  It sort of makes the pig more important, I think.

The frame is old and the glass wavy, just the way I like it.  

French ~  THIS LITTLE PIG IS A RUNT 

Obviously, this is the Little Piggy that stayed home.  Again, Antique frame with old wavy glass.

Finally, here are all the silhouettes that I have completed so far!  Each one has its own special chair.  Do you have a special chair?  Would you like a painting done of yourself on your special chair?  JUST KIDDING.

BTW, when these were painted I had "cochon" spelled "cochen."  I have fixed this.  I hope that there are not more mistakes in this pile below! 

These will be made available thru Spicher and Co., Like us on Facebook!  If you would be interested in any of the paintings that I have shown here, please feel free to contact me! 

Enjoy!

Good Morning !!

Bonjour!

Bonjour!

A while back I painted some illustrations of French chairs.  I tried to sell them a few times but didn't.  "WHAT IS WRONG with these darn chairs??"

 This is what I put myself through when something doesn't move.  How can I improve upon these?  Well, I was thinking about them (a lot) and decided that they needed an animal sitting on them.
"Why not?"  I paint animals in clothes ALL THE TIME (www.spicherandco.com), so why not paint animals sitting on French Chairs!?? I wanted the animal to stand out, but then I also wanted the chair to be seen, as well.  I decided that it needed to be a silhouette.  So I present to you my metamorphous from this to this!

From this! 

See this is just too…boring.  That is the simple truth about these chairs.  You may say, "Why would you bother changing these?" Because I don't like them the way they are, ok?? Yes, I like the way I painted them but I believe that they can be improved.  I am driven to improve.  I think that they will make a fine print and have scanned them to be sold as a print.  But now you can have them with a rooster (and some other animal as I paint more).  Any suggestions are appreciated!  What makes this funny is what I wrote a saying on the bottom of each of the paintings.

Here are a few examples of some of the closer images!

TO THIS!
The original seat was decapauged so sorry, Folks, there is a line.  I don't mind it, though!  On the painting it looks like an old antique~which was my goal! 

AND THIS! 

The caption on the bottom of each painting is a little dialog between the two birds!  It is as if they are talking to each other!  "Good Morning (Bonjour) Mam and Sir!" I went to France one time.  I found the people very friendly.  That was the only sentence that I could say, and I said it proudly! 

HERE THEY ARE IN COMPLETION!  EACH HAS ANTIQUE GLASS AND IS IN AN OLD FRAME!

LOVE THE BLUE CHAIR

THINK KITCHEN! 

Thanks for looking!
