These African Penguins (also known as Jackass Penguins – presumably because of the braying noise they make) live on the South Western coast of Namibia and South Africa. They are delightful to watch, with their swift change from clumsy beach walkers, to graceful acrobats, masters of the sea.

This is the very first painting I made in the “Who would like some more ice? ” series. In this series, I want to prompt a smile, and a reminder to choose wisely how we live, because those choices affect every living being on our beautiful planet.
