Pig at the Yellow Tavern

Title: Pig at the Yellow Tavern

This charming plein air painting captures the whimsical pig statue that greets visitors outside the Yellow Tavern in New Harmony, Indiana. Created during the Quick Draw competition at the First Brush of Spring—an annual plein air event hosted by the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association and Hoosier Salon—the painting holds special meaning for the artist. Painted alongside a dear friend and her daughters, this small piece radiates joy and nostalgia. The pig, bathed in soft spring light, is lovingly rendered in watercolor and ink with loose, expressive lines that reflect the spontaneity and energy of the moment. A delightful keepsake for art lovers and New Harmony fans alike.
