Photo of the Day: This Little Piggy…



This small bronze sculpture squats outside the Brandywine River Museum, perhaps the best regional art museum I’ve come across.  As you can guess, this image was taken last fall, when I was on vacation in eastern Pennsylvania—an especially idyllic time, considering that Hurricane Sandy hit not long after I got home. Spending time at the museum—very much including the adjacent Brandywine Creek—is one of the nicest pastimes I can think of for an autumn day, I think, and I hope to get back there again sometime. 

Anyway, this sculpture is by Andre Harvey. Perhaps not surprisingly, given its rural setting, the museum has a bit of a thing for pigs—Jamie Wyeth has a painting inside, and then there’s this…
