Board of Directors The watercolor painting titled Board of Directors by Jack C. DeLoney shows four fat hogs; three of them pink and one black. The hogs appear to be standing on tan, light colored dirt, with patches of gray and blue. Behind them you see dark blackish purple trees. A small area of blue and pink sky can be seen in the center portion between the trees. The first hog, farthest to the left of the painting, is pink and is lying down and appears to be sleeping, though his ears are erect. The second hog, which is directly to his right, is pink and standing, with his ears flopped over his eyes. The next two hogs are standing side by side.

The hogs are done in shades of pink,
