Wouw Corinna! I LOVE This! I love, love, love, love, love this! This is so incredibly sweet! I sure wish I could do such wonderbeautiful things! You are a GREAT artist! I love your cocktail of material used, that's the great thing about art, FREEDOM of expression. I am really in love with this one, I love everything to do with arctic, therefore this painting speaks to me 1001 words! The glitter sky, fairytale land, the sweet, sweet penguins, the warmth of an iglo.... you going to do more arctic ones? WONDERBEAUTIFUL job!

    oh wow, thank you!!! I had completely forgotten about this one lol This seemed to get a lot of thumbs up, must be the cute factor :) Thanks so much for such a high rating, that has made my day that has. Well I was going to do a load like this for Christmas card ideas but kinda stopped and started on something else. Will put it on the to do list :) I might try and squeeze one more in before Christmas. Thank you thank you thank you, you have created a huge grin for the day :)

Oh, boy, is this ever fun! I just love this illustration, drawing, art work ~ masterpiece! I love the shine that came about in the sky, perfect for a snow filled sky, and with moonlight around. the penquin fishing is soo cute. The polar bears lazing around on mama and the baby penguin peeking out are just adorable.

I love your imagination! You will have a winning set of Christmas cards, everyone will love to receive a print of these!

I am so glad I came over here to see your portfolio ~ I have had a happy moment, indeed, visiting your art work! Cheers! Bev

Very hightly creative--the first thing I thought of is "This would make a great Christmas card!"

No joke.

I love the glitter, its not oo much, reminds me a little of the northern lights.
The happy gentle felling of all getting along together is spot on.

If these were for sale, I would buy them.

You have a real talent for this. :)

    6 stars... really! Well it just goes to show I really wasn't sure how this would go down. Each time I post something I'm waiting in baited breath for criticism. This little number hasn't let me down. I'm so pleased people like it. Thanks so much for the support and your tips in pastels, much appreciated

The most striking thing about this cartoon image is the happy faces on all the characters. I think it would make a great design for a Christmas card. The colors are very pleasing. The glitter is different but kind of reminds me of snow. Well presented with good impact. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Watercoloursmleboeuf


Absolutely love the sky and the purple mountains. Very fun and whimsical penquins are so full of character. Very interesting combination of media! Great christmas card material. I guess the glitter is successful because I love the star filled sky and hadn't read your description prior to embarking on the critique. Amazing how mixed media actually comes to fruition sometimes completely by surprise.

    Thanks Michelle, yeah you should have seen me with the glitter, was even pestering my hubby, shall I, shall I not, then in the end I thought **** it, I just wasn't happy with how it looked. Looks like my brave moment paid out, not one bad review on the choice yet...phew!! Thanks for the support, much appreciated :)
