A penguin stands mid-stride, arms outstretched, rendered in bold, layered strokes. The artist uses a palette knife to build thick, textured surfaces—each mark visible as a physical trace of motion. The background suggests icy terrain with horizontal sweeps of cool gray and pale green, contrasting the subject’s deep blues and orange feet. This 5×7 in piece captures the energy of movement through impasto technique. Its compact size fits well above a desk, on a gallery wall, or as a gift for a new home during Housewarming & Wedding Season. The work is signed 'G.M.' in the lower left.
