African Zebra #138
I finally got back to my cool, I mean COLD easel, and got another painting done for my newest grand-daughter, Vivian. I'm doing this travel theme series for her wall, because she will be a traveler soon..... or so her mommy and daddy say, so here is a zebra from her mom's trip to Africa several years ago. I had fun with it, but it was a challenge to keep the stripes believable, and yet use soft edges to give the overall looseness of the painting. What do you think ??

I think your idea of painting for your new granddaughter is a wonderful idea. Think of what it will mean to her when she is grown.
ReplyDeleteYour animal paintings are superb.
Looks great Sandy!! The stripes are certainly believable and I love how you integrated some of the background hues. Very beautiful, I'm sure your granddaughter will love it!
ReplyDeleteI think it's simply gorgeous - love the loose feel - and the way he stands so naturally in his environment - love the way he's looking straight out at you too - I've painted zebras and the stripes drive me mad!
