My pig BNW is a polydactyly. I made this painting for her. I’m not polydactyly but I thought I’d become one for my pig.

8.5 W x 11 H inches, acrylic on paperboard 220gsm
The woman is trying to appease the pig. The pig looks a bit upset and does not want to talk about it. Both the woman and the pig are polydactyly. There is a bitter gourd vine behind them. In the distance is a cat defecating in the garden.
Bitter gourd feature often in my paintings because of abundant harvest. I love it.

A good harvest of little bitter gourd fruits began this year, so this vine and its flowers and fruits were in my paintings. I sew my clothes by hand. The vest and skirt are made from tunics that I bought in India. My husband and I had a wonderful time in India. That would be our last foreign travel together before we settled in Bohol island.
