Painting has never been my strong suit. Actually, this sort of art in general has never been my strong suit. Mom and the Sister both had that talent in spades, not myself. My talents lie elsewhere.
As for the Wife, the lass and the boy I submit these to make your own assessment. The Wife signed them up for an art class at a local gallery. The class focused on teaching the mechanics of painting the penguin. I imagine if enough of these classes were taken, a given person could become fairly proficient at creating these paintings.
Perhaps even me.
