Candy Striper, a Zebra carousel.
Here's my latest carousel animal painting He's composed entirely from my imagination and it was sure fun painting this. I used many thin glazes of color, creating the stripes with red and green layers. When you look at this up close, you can see those colors in the zebra.
This painting is 20X24 inches, acrylic on hard board.

I read somewhere that you are a true artist if you can draw from your imagination. This is awesome! I love the background design also!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila! Artists work in many ways, but I think when they're familiar with their subject they can draw them without reference. Some people have that natural ability too. It's something I have to work at, but I'm finding I can do it. Glad you stopped by!
