The Apple Core - unfinished?

Comments

Up to you, of course! But I think I'd leave it - the piglets are entirely fine, and the single-minded determination of the sow doesn't need any attention being taken away from her.

The apple core! The title says it all. Do not get distracked from the important thing! The body language of the pig is brilliant.

Acrylic on stretched canvas 12” x 24”. Can’t decide whether to put in more background, but I love the pig and apple core, not sure about piglets. The image amuses me!
