Zany Zebra


Zany Zebra

With the WSSA 85th Open Exhibition approaching I'm feverishly painting for submissions to this event.  
I have a painting under the belt for now and need another two. This is one I started painting last night.... just a bit of fun and enjoyed the colours I used. At 2am this morning I called it a day and left it to complete later when I could concentrate with a clear head. On looking at it this morning, I was dissatisfied with the construction of his face. His muzzle looked too long, the eye was a bit small and just wasn't
sitting in the correct place! 
A bit frustrating at times when paintings don't do what they are supposed to do, you can't win them all I suppose, specially when you have a dead line! It's just a piece of paper after all and we are 
supposed to enjoy painting, don't we? But I think that's part of the fun.... or is it? 

Oh well, what can I say but back to the easel!

I'm not too disappointed with this as I'll keep it as a reference for colours used, but this 
Zany Zebra will not be part of the show!
