Welcome to Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday! This piece is entitled 'Puffin', done in my sketchbook (9" x 12") in watercolour crayon and pencil. The Atlantic Puffin hails from places like the Faroe Islands near Denmark in Northern Europe. I learned that they develop these bright coloured orange beaks in the breeding season in late spring and will shed them after that. I feel like I am drawing people when I draw these animals, especially their eyes, it is uncanny. Aren't we all God's creatures?

Puffins are beautiful creatures. Great sketch.
Birds are so beautiful and so is this, and the story you told about the beak, is interesting.
Never knew they shed the beak.
Happy PPF 6th birthday celebration..

Lovely puffin. There is lots of them in the north of Norway as well. I've always been drawn to their colorful beeks.
Lovely puffin Christine! Happy weekend!
I love pufins. I've seen them without their colourful beaks and they look so weird. Did you know that a baby puffin is called a puffling? It's pretty much the cutest fact I know.
I love all creatures but these puffins are so adorable looking to me. Lovely sketch Christine!
I really want to see wild puffins someday. I love this sketch!!!! :) Erika
