Penguin School Illustration

This children's illustration is a painting showing the shenanigans taking place in a penguin school classroom.

It was created to illustrate a children's story I wrote along with my girlfriend. This illustration features very early versions of all the characters and
the whole look has changed quite a lot since this early illustration and there is a new character in the story who is missing but it is still a nice
painting.

The cool blues in the illustration and the painting of the mouse's posture really give a feeling of cold and is very amusing for children reading the
story. The penguins in the painted illustration are very cute and appealing to children but at the same time they are naughty and they are getting
up to stuff which gives the image a certain interest and rewards repeat visits to the story.
The teacher of the class is a big fat owl who seems to be teaching the penguins about fish, which is of course very amusing for a child of 3 to 5.
The image makes the classroom a very appealing, interesting and unthreatening place and that is the purpose of the illustration and the children's
story.
The image is a very traditional children's story picture book illustration with a very painterly rendering of the snow and ice accompanied by a fun
big-eyed and cute look for the characters.
