A puffin Kind of day is a whimsical painting that was inspired by a little girl who won a writing contest and gaining access to a solo visit to see the puffins at the zoo and having a special day with them. The child has been quite an inspiration even though young, she has endured many sorrows so the celebration of this feat was something that I wanted to illustrate. The painting is competed on canvas using a blocking gesso and flowing inks. The painting is bright but in pastel pinks, blues and yellows, highlighted in golds. The birds fill the canvas as they surround the child who is calmly reading a book crosslegged on the ground. The painting is ideal for a child's bedroom, but is a favorite in the whimsy collection by men as much as women. Thank you for taking the time to look at this lighthearted piece.
