true colors

watercolor

“My skin is kind of sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white. 
My eyes are greyish blueish green, but I'm told they look orange in the night. 
My hair is reddish blondish brown, but its silver when its wet, 
and all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet.” 
-Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends


for APR: rainbow

  1. this is a truly beautiful painting. You've really captured the zebra. I especially love both the eye and the change in color of the stripes for contrast. So terrific. Thanks for participating in APR.
    Best,
