A Dazzle of Zebra

Out of stock

A Dazzle is the collective name for zebra. Zebra stripes are there to confuse predators, making it harder to pick out a single animal in the herd. Hopefully my painting gives an idea of what a lioness may have to go through looking into a herd of dazzling stripes!

MEDIUM: Oil and acrylic on canvas
