Flight of the Passing Fancy

36" x 48"

This painting took five years to complete. I, evidently, was spending a lot of time contemplating my choice in men while working on this one. No, I'm not 'man-bashing'. I'm just truth-speaking.
This painting is a fairy tale about 'Three Little Pigs'.
Piggy One, also known as Passing Fancy One, built his home with straw. Hence the box of drinking straws. Needless to say, this pig had a drinking problem. Oops! You ignored those red flags, didn't you, Paula. Piggy had the annoying habit of always wearing sunglasses indoors, on cloudy days, and even dark evenings. Always! Straws did not make a firm foundation for a home.
Passing Fancy Two built his home with sticks. That's him sitting on top of the vintage game of 'Pick Up Stix'. Piggy, Two, was a very lazy and immature piggy. He came from a wealthy family and rarely worked. Mama sow had refused to allow any more suckling. His litter-mates appeared to have the same problem of holding down jobs and ended up expecting Two's mate, me, to support them as well. Huh! We'll see about that! His pile of sticks came tumbling down around his cute tiny head.
Three has taken a lot of training on how to be a husband. Three is also a work in progress. We were married 15 years, divorced for 5, and have been remarried for 6. Three has an excellent foundation, but it just needs a bit of mortar repair now and again. Three is a good piggy and not a Passing Fancy.
Life is good!!
May all that is happy be known to your heart.
Love and Light to you and yours,
Paula
