In my late teens, I had always wanted to own a collection of something but could never make up my mind exactly what I wanted to collect. After much procrastination, I decided that I would collect pigs being that I was born in The Year of the Pig/Boar......and so an exciting, new endeavour began. I had so much fun and had actually amassed quite a grand collection of ornamental pigs when, over time, I found myself drawn to anything Native American and so, as all good things must come to an end some time, the pigs got their marching orders. That said, I still have a soft spot for them and this little piggybank sits on the desk in my room as a reminder of what once was. Now I'm back to square one and don't collect a set theme of anything in particular however I feel that familiar urge rising again.......maybe the pigs will make a comeback?
What a sweet drawing! A piggy collection sounds fun to me :) And that eagle is breathtakingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Serena, Love the story of the pigs, my daughter collects them, so maybe there will be a comeback, me I collect frogs and a heap of other things!
ReplyDeletethe bald eagle is serious stuff, wonderful and your sea scape looks pretty good too.
Hi Serena, I'm collecting chooks at the moment - roosters & hens & anything 'country'. I love french provincial & country style decor:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

I will probably end up painting some chooks along the way!!
ReplyDeleteMaria :)
Thank you, Mariana ~ :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny. I have a few friends who collect froggy things. :)
Thanks for stopping by, Maria. Roosters and chooks definitely fit into the country/French Provincial theme. I love that sort of decor too. Oriental/Tropical seems to have found its way into my decor more these days. I hope you are having a lovely weekend too. :)
I know the collecting phase. I love anything with a puffin on it or Bambi.

We have a small collection of pigs made by potters. I love the colors of pottery. Nice sketch. I love Native American art as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky...it's nice to collect something, isn't it? Which is why I'm considering starting again...maybe pigs but not sure yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Boyd.:) I used to have quite a few pottery pigs in my collection and now I wish I'd never parted with them. I still have remnants of my Native American collection...saved them for the kids. I also made and painted some ceramic Native American ornaments and still have those stored too.
