Frozen Royalty

Although, I have never been to Antarctica and only witnessed penguins in zoos, the color purple is the one that best embodies the frozen royalty of the penguins. I am sure I am not alone as the radiant orchid hue was the dominant color in Disney’s Frozen as well. (see blog post: 5 Ways Pantone Picks the Color of the Year)

Depicting Movement

In addition, I wanted to depict the movement of the snow by using lots of texture in the background. Look carefully at the background and see what you discover hidden in the layers. For example, I included piano music to represent the songs of mating birds. What can you discover?
