Zebra Vibration - mixed watermedia

30x22 mixed media (watercolor, ink, wax crayon, acrylic) over a failed abstract work.

Reworked Abstract Zebra

22x30 acrylic abstract done a few years ago and used as the basis for a new work as seen below:

30x22 mixed media finished piece, Zebra Vibration, done today. I used a black permanent marker to draw the animal's shape and stripes, then black ink for those. Lastly I added opaque and transparent watercolor to the background, plus gouache. Crayons as wax resists you can see clearly now.

Zesty Zebra - Reworked Oil Painting

I've been working on this fellow for a week off and on after sketching him directly on top of another oil. It measures 42x32 inches. Previous work was a turban clad man holding a sword or dagger, most mean appearing and one of those mass-produced items from old Mexico. If anyone wants to see what it was before leave me a comment or two and I'll post him.
