MessageCollection: Folk Art PIGS
In Jim's vibrant Folk Art Pig collection, his affinity for pigs shines through. Jim's series of folk art pigs captures the joy and simplicity of rural life through a child's perspective. Each digital painting is meant to have a lively, almost mythical or spiritual quality. He has incorporated whimsical blue spotted pigs into several pieces, which is a creative homage to a touching story about a child in distress responding to a blue spotted toy pig from Walmart, a story shared by a pig farming family from Texas with two little girls. This family, who participated in the Lasche Pas Bourcherie 2023, and stayed with Jim and Christy, expressed their love for his folk art; and thus, inspired the abundance of playful motifs in Jim's digital pig art collection. Jim's imagination has transformed ordinary farm pigs and their environments into enchanting characters straight out of a storybook.
