This is a very cute painting of a family of Emperor penguins. The composition and placement of the parent penguins form the shape of a heart over their baby.

This painting utilises loose sweeping brush strokes, and cool tones to represent the icy conditions they live in.

Emperor penguins are the largest penguin, the only bird species that breeds on ice, and one of the few birds that doesn’t build a nest. When combined with their stunning good looks and ridiculously cute chicks, it is little wonder that emperor penguins command so much attention!
