I did a 'Penguin Sunset' for Paint Party Friday in my journal. It is done in watercolour pencils (5"h x 7"w). Do you know that Penguins live in the South Pole, not the North Pole? The Emperor Penguins I drew are about 4 feet tall and weigh about 75 pounds! They are flightless and their wings have evolved into flippers. Who knew art could be so educational, lol.

Happy PPF !
I feel their love for each other. I wonder, do they mate for life? These seem to have.
Nicely done!

Wonderful sketch! Have a great weekend.
LOVE this sketch. And I had no earthly idea that some penguins can grow to be 4 feet tall. That's incredible.
Thanks for the little lesson about penguins ;-) And beautifully illustrated as well!
What an adorable pair. I just wonder where they are going? You convey so much feeling in this painting. I love it.
Sooo cute!!! I love penguins! =)

Great penguins. I've never tried to draw one. Yours look good.
awwwwh how cute your penguins are :) I have never tried to paint one either!
Lynn, I don't think they mate for life. In fact after the baby is born, the mother goes to find food and the father stays with the baby until the mother gets back and then the father leaves, or something like that. They at one point leave one another.:)
I love your penguins. I love their style of walking. Very nicely done.
your penguins are as cute as can be Christine!!!! Happy PPF!!!
Beautiful penguins! I love the sweet buggers. And come Sunday i'll be watching the Puppy Biwl instead of the Super Bowl, where penguins will show up at halftime! :)
I love your penguins! They are cute and beautiful at the same time. Interesting facts about them as well.
Beautifully rendered penguins. I do love them so and the way they waddle about. Happy PPF
Fantastic painting, Christine!
Sweet! Absolutely lovely!
That's why I like drawing penguins with polar bears. They aren't suppose to be together so I think it's funny! Sweet drawing, looks soft and peaceful to me.
Happy Paint Party Friday!
A little late, my Sis went into labor Friday and had her baby Saturday. Yay!
