Emperor Penguins

Here's a portrait of Emperor Penguins. Without a doubt doubt, this iconic bird is the true emperor of Antarctica. As I was drawing this, temperatures in Antarctica were 70 degrees above normal. What does this portend for these majestic creatures? This is piece will be included in an exhibit at Mattatuck  Museum in Waterbury, CT, starting January 18th. The show is titled Sea Change, See Change, and it's designed to inspire action in dealing with climate change.

From the Poles to the Equator

 

I’m honored to have this piece on display in a public art box, which is located at 7260 South Broadway in Red Hook, NY (right next to Holy Cow Ice Cream). This artwork is titled From the Poles to the Equator, and it was designed to draw attention to endangered and vulnerable species around our planet. Enormous thanks to the Red Hook Sustainable Communities Program for helping local artists share their creations in our community!

The Emperor of Antarctica

 

While drawing these Emperor Penguins, I read that temperatures in Antarctica are 70 degrees above normal (no typo). What does this portend for life on that continent?
