Hog Wilde

Do you guys know how hard it is to find an oval frame in the U.S. in this day and age? I'll tell ya: very. I could only find one style oval frame and the first one was miscut and didn't even fit!

Anyway, this is one of those paintings that I got the title first and thought it would make a funny painting. This is of course a porcine version of the playwright Oscar Wilde, author of "The Importance of Being Earnest". The book he's holding is a play on this title and it reads "the Importance of Being Breakfast". I had the sketch for this one for a few years and when I saw the Victorian monsters in an oval layout done by , I was inspired to finally get to work on this one. He's 16" x 20" on oval canvas, painted with acrylics.
