I was so happy when my first painting, ‘The March’, got such a great reception. Luckily, the second of the pair was already in the works and has had equally positive feedback. This piece was only 12 penguins, rather than the troop of 81 in ‘The March’, which allowed me to spend a little more time on the detailing of each penguin. The pieces were aimed at raising awareness of the difficult and dangerous conditions that penguins face during migration.

Migration is a necessary but perilous part of the penguins life. Changes in temperature, food shortages, or the need to mate, among other factors, make migration an important event. However, it is usually long, tiring and full of difficulties (particularly for juvenile or older penguins who may not survive the journey). Penguins are such amazing creatures and the behaviour that they display for survival is incredible.
