Big Fat Penguin of Determination – SOLD.
Introducing The Big Fat Penguin of Determination.
Colour certainly brought out some more personality.
As I finished him he looked pretty serious but Mr Creative says he’s just a very determined penguin. Hence the title.
Acrylic on box canvas. Approx 8″ x 8″ (20cm x 20cm).

VERY determined:-) Reminds of the movie about the male Emperer penguins and how they endure the winter w an egg on their feet!!
Are you thinking of opening an Etsy store? Prints of this and your other works would be very popular, I think. You just have to be in a position to keep producing — which I’m not, but you may be.
He looks like his strength of thought alone might just help him fly off! Cool stuff 🙂
Nina – I am working towards an etsy store. Although I am not sure is somewhere like redbubble (you might want to take a look at them by the way with your own work) might be better for prints. But I also had an idea of how to do it so I can sell prints direct/through etsy so I can do limited edition runs. I need to do some more research and some tests before I am in a position to do prints. But it’s on my list :o)
Ele – Thanks. You’re right – I think he does believe that he can fly though with that belly he’s at an obvious disadvantage. Mainly I reckon his mind is set on big piles of fish (served on a silver platter) washed down with plenty of margaritas. It explains our chubby friend’s figure.
Hi Rachel
love, love, love your paintings and your photos are so amazing, I just know I will have to visit again soon to look more closely. I will definately be checking back to find out about your canvases for sale, they are awesome. Will you do commissions? Could you email me please if yes?

Lainey – thank you so much for the compliment :o)
I’ve sent you an email.
He is so cute! 😀 I’m with Ele, he could fly with the determination.
You’ve really developed a style of your own and boy is it cute!
Thanks for your help

I was idly looking at the thumbnails and it occurred to me that this one, the Horse With No Name and the Bear Whose Name I Forget would work really well together as (part of?) a set of greeting cards. Might be worth investigating.
Rachel – Hmmm .. so maybe he WILL fly … :o)
Mudspice – Thanks very much.
Cusp – Thank you for the award! How lovely.
Tim – Well very nice of you to say so. It’s something I’ve been looking at actually this last week. Not found quite to right fit yet. So we’ll see :o)
Rachel this is absolutely gorgeous. Your site and your artwork is really inspirational. I now want to get up from the computer and paint…but all I can manage is a splodge 😀
