Blue Zebra

Blue Zebra, (Oil on canvas, 30" x 30")

A new zebra painting. Let's hear it for zebras! This is another look at the subject. I posted a more defiant zebra on an earlier post, so this commentary continues the zebra saga. Sorry for the mysterious and metaphoric way of conveying a current plight. It's the best I can do to communicate at this time. I promise to elaborate one day.

As the first zebra was defiantly peering out of its wood panel, this one is somber, looking for direction out of his canvas. He lives in a world of beautiful chaos. This zebra is resilient and can take in the confusion of not knowing and also the joy of the whir of change. Notice that he's taking on some orange---a chameleon in striped pajamas.

Time is a phenomenal teacher! Minor setbacks always lead to something better. In the meantime, watch out for lions! Stick together with your fellow zebras.
