Color is an amazing thing. We relish its vibrancy, its intensity. Our bodies respond to color,
affecting our emotions and sometimes how we perceive the world. The attributes of paint
allow us to explore one color in relation to another. Discoveries we make as we use the
brush to push paint around our canvas provide lessons in harmony, balance, and
relationships. Painting is rewarding and challenging. May the lessons continue
as we explore our world of color.

"ZEBRA NUMBER TWO"   8 x 10   Acrylic
 

 

This zebra colt is second in the series of experimenting with black-and-white plus one color. The horizontal stripes of the mare behind him shows he is in a herd. I like the different slants and positions of the stripes as it reveals the conformation of the animals. No wonder this is a good camouflage to a predator who tries to single out one animal amidst the herd as they gallop by.
