14 Poppy PIGWhen asked to create a Haslemere Hog my first thought was to reflect the mood and technique of my landscape paintings.
These often include a foreground of wild flowers and an impasto application of oil paint.
So Poppy Pig is a Tamworth pig sitting in a cornfield with wild poppies, daisies and cow parsley.
I hope she looks happy as she munches daisies, as it was such fun painting her'
