Close to You – A Moment of Gentoo Tenderness

 

This is my second Gentoo penguin watercolour painting. This time, it is a Gentoo penguin with two chicks. 

In the icy expanse of the Southern Ocean, life is a delicate balance of survival and care. Yet even in such a harsh environment, love finds its quiet expression.

“Close to You” captures one of those intimate moments — a Gentoo penguin standing protectively over its two chicks, their soft down pressed against its body in trust and warmth. This watercolour painting reflects more than wildlife; it speaks of family, guardianship, and the bonds that hold us close, no matter the world outside.

With gentle brushstrokes and layered washes, the painting brings softness to the resilient strength of nature. Every stroke is an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to feel the hush of an Antarctic morning.

Art, at its heart, is about connection — and in this piece, that connection is tender, universal, and timeless.
