Playful Pig Painting + Symbolism

bubblebathselfempowerment

I’m really loving choosing my subject and colors to paint from strips of paper in a cup.  Today’s subject was Pig with the colors pink, purple and teal.  You’ll also see some grey, white and black – I allow myself to use white and black along with the chosen colors, and if I want to add other colors as I paint I allow that too.  It is simply a process that gets me going, rather than overthinking subject and colors.

Just for fun I thought I’d look up pig symbolism.  I believe that our decor influences us, so if we have art that symbolizes things we want to achieve, it will help us achieve that. Pigs symbolize prosperity, wealth and abundance!  I’m tempted to keep this painting, haha 😉  The pig is also thought to bring luck to farmers as it brings in a good crop and rains.  What do you think of when you think of a pig?

I painted this on a 5″ x 7″ canvas board with acrylics. This can be purchased as a print here.

All my current paintings are listed on eBay as auctions. To see what’s available at this time, click here.

Here are a few of the products available with my art printed on them (by clicking an item you like, it will take you to the page where it’s available). They’d make great gifts to yourself or someone you love and would help support my dream of becoming a full-time writer and artist. Any purchase would be SO appreciated, but if you don’t want to or can’t, that’s totally fine. Just stopping by and reading my blog is a huge support.

The pandemic brought a lot of awareness to me about climate change, food shortages, how quickly our hospitals could colapse and more. This has sent me on a mission of becoming self-sustainable, empowered and working to help heal the earth. That is what the focus of this blog has become. The main way I'm working at this is through building a food forest and documenting as much as possible in hopes to inspire others. The more of us that do this, the more it will help heal the earth. When we buy produce from the grocery store, it was grown through monoculture, and that leads to use of chemicals that goes onto our food and into our planet, destroying soil. If we grow our own through permaculture (a food forest), we give the soil health. We also give ourselves health by growing organic foods and herbs that contribute to our health. There's a lot more to this, but this touches the surface. I'm only one year into this but my food forest is growing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

  1. Love the cute painting. We drove to Florida one year, and at a rest stop we noticed a woman who had a little piglet on a leash. The piglet was wagging its little tail, just like a puppy. I think pigs are intelligent. 🤗

  4. I love love piggies they are so smart, much smarter than we give them credit. They are also very clean. A pig makes me joyful, they make think about playing. They roll in the mud with such ease. Playful comes to mind with a big smile.

  6. That is one cute pig, Monica! And I love the wistful expression. Looks like she’s wishing for something–I wonder what? The mascot for our current city of residence, Cincinnati, is a pig, a holdover from when they were the pork capital of the country. Each year they hold the Flying Pig Marathon. What I didn’t know was “pigs symbolize prosperity, wealth and abundance!” All the more reason for embracing them as a community mascot–especially as we think of those qualities in terms of community spirit, consideration for one another, and support of each another. THAT would be a prosperous city!
