Wild Boar, Full Snort
Topic: Paintings

Hello fellow artists,

 

I'm in a delightful painting class in which we pour dyes on the page, seeing where they go.  This one turned out like a cave painting of a wild boar with enough energy to take on anyone with whom it disagrees.   To me, this boar seems primitive and modern at the same time. 

Courage and strength symbolize boar, warriors who never give up.  In this case, it's easy to see how and why symbols were created.
