| "When the Going Gets Tough, ..." |
Rockhopper penguins have undeniable charm, with their cute penguin shapes and golden plumes. I couldn't resist sculpting one,
although I wished to depict more action than could be found in the typical "hopping" stance. Several reference photos showed
them walking or even running up and down sloping beaches, so I opted for a position that emphasized the effort required to climb
up to the nesting areas from the water. They are tough, scrappy birds - as are all penguins, necessitated by their environments -
hence "When the going gets tough...."
Size H: 12" W: 12" D: 10" Edition Size: 15 Price: $2,150
