7″ x 12″ Slate (most have 2 angled corners - first paid gets first choice). A delighful painting of a realistic Penguin baby who is wearing a rich rainbow-hued stocking cap. Swirling snow will be painted on the slate before Perry is added by stippling, tint washing, stroking and floating. Very natural colors are used until Perry’s brilliant hat is painted… My favorite painting of the season!!
