Two-Color Series
For the past few years I've been developing a two-color series of animal paintings. It all started with a photo in the travel section of a newspaper. We've all seen them---those reports on somebody's African safari, complete with the wide-angle photo of a mass of animals. This time it was zebra and wildebeest. And since my eye has, for years, been intrigued by the stripes of the zebra, I quickly ignored all those poor wildebeest.
I kept seeing that photo in my mind, and after a couple of years, I began toying with sketches. Because what my mind did was to remove everything except the stripes. Everything except the two colors: black and white.
So the first painting was black stripes on a white canvas. Something like 80 zebras---I sort of lost track of how many parts and wholes. Then one of my kids quipped, "Hey, Mum, you ought to do giraffes next." Hmm, had to think about that for a while. Obviously, this would be a vertically oriented canvas.
