Puffin Painting #3 - Little Brother of the North

April 05, 2016 in New Artwork

I finished the third puffin painting!  It's acrylic and watercolor on a 12x12" birch panel.  The title, Little Brother of the North, is a direct translation of the Latin name of the Atlantic puffin, Fratercula arctica.
