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.
