For #WorldPenguinDay 🐧:

Henry Stacey Marks (British, 1829-1898)

Dominicans in Feathers, 1880–87

oil on canvas

H 62 cm (24.4 in) x W 185.5 cm (73 in)

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (UK)

🆔 Humboldt Penguin (Spheniscus humboldti)

“The title compares the black and white plumage of the penguins to the black and white robes of Dominican monks. It was intended to be both gently comic and more bitingly satirical. Marks was noted for both his humourous subjects and his paintings of birds. In his autobiography he notes that birds made better models that humans, since they were less conceited, less greedy and less boring.”

How it began (Part 2): my first large mural painting...

The 1996 Birmingham ichthyosaur piece helped convince the Dudley Museum and Art Gallery to let me paint the murals in their temporary Sea Dragons exhibition (1997). I had never painted anything larger than A1 before, so I was winging it from the start, but I managed to paint all but one of the walls. They weren't good murals and the animal's had poor anatomy, but it was a VERY valuable experience. Murals would subsequently become an important source of income!

I revisited the Sea Dragons pliosaur composition twelve years later (2009), when I painted Leviathan, for the Museum of Jurassic Marine Life (the predecessor to the Etches Collection Museum). This painting has become my most profitable painting by far. By far!

My art-student-hair was bright crimson at this point.
