Two Small Paintings from this weekend

Here are two different paintings that I did this weekend.  My goal was to play with lighting.  If you look at the Ross Sea penguin, he is emerging from darkness to light.  The tulips are also trying to grab some of the light.

Tulips are so pretty but after a week, they don’t last as cut flowers. If you paint them, though, they become immortalized!
