A Pig’s Bargain


Pig Photo

Such a pig as this!  This sweet snout greets visitors to the Brandywine Museum in Chads ford, PA, home to the studios of N.C. Wyeth, celebrated illustrator and creator of the ethereal painting e inentitled “The Giant” that sits a place of prominence in my home office–and his son Andrew Wyeth, celebrated watercolorist. If not for such a pig as this–really just a piglet–named Susie, which comes from the Latin word for pig SUS–Carleen might never have carved that first viola–just one of nearly 500 stringed instruments.
