Sacrifice
I started this for the skyline topic, but could not get it finished in time. I decided to adapt it for this week's topic by including a zebra who has sacrificed her wild life on the beautiful plains of Africa to come to the city and seek work. So that she can 'put food on her family'.(Food quote courtesy of our eloquent preznit.)
Acrylic paint on a 10 by 10 inch board.

Brilliant as always. It seems you're altering your technique and color palette a bit. Am I right? I love the reflective surface and of course the zebra is very cool.
i love it!
the super simple lines of the zebra are wonderful.
great colors too. bravo!
I like your tecnique using acrylic.
I am also using acrylic and learning how different it is. like it!
What's up? Your pictures aren't loading. I would like to blame Blogger but it's probably me.
Great reflective quality....and two moons! For some reason, I just really like the idea of two moons. Hmmm...what world is this? Striking work as usual....always makes me think!
I just LOVE your work!!! I could get lost looking at it for hours!
Gorgeous! Love the space needle! Love this!!!
I so adore your work! this is amazing with the black and white of the zebra and the tremendous colors of the city!This is breathtaking!
I really dig how you combine such incingruous images...and then they work! The ground has such a gorgeous, luminous, translucence.
As always...very beautiful! The colors seem different than you usually use...but, still brilliant! Beautiful!!
Beautiful with your lovely colours! I only hope, he'll find the grass he's looking for..
Wonderful concept Jaimie.
beautiful skyline and I love how you have the zebra
on a glassy surface which for me shows the hardness of the city.
Thanks for your comment..I'll have to look for that movie!
ahhhh; poor zebra; hate that he had to give up his homeland and culture to pay the bills.
You and Valgal have the best sense of colour in the world.
This is absolutely beautiful.
Sacrifice
This city had no mayor 'til you came,
all broken-down with colours at your back,
so now there's no concession in your aim -
you cannot give the robes of office back.
Your foals will wait behind as you advance
across the glassy path devoid of gold.
You keep your eyes averted lest a glance
avow to you the story you were told -
these colours are for others, not for you,
the quite unbanded species. Whereas they
are here to do whatever they will do
that's all unknown to you until today,
and shall remain unknowable, my mare -
fair cities can be anything but fair.
