The beauty of these small watercolor paintings is that I can finish two or three a day.  As a matter of fact, I have to develop two or three at the same time, working on a painting while waiting for a wash to dry on another, etc.  So last two weeks, I created 16 such greeting-card-sized watercolors with the animal theme.  What fun it was!  The above three are bird paintings. Which one is your favorite?

Who doesn't love the story of emperor penguins, the largest and tallest of all penguins?  How they breed and protect their young in the extreme climatic conditions of the Antarctica.  Did you see the movie, narrated by Morgan Freeman?  They also look majestic as adults and adorable as babies, made for artistic renditions.  Here are my attempts to capture their images. I hope you enjoy them.
