| Zebra Close-up |
Nancy Winter and I took a fabulous trip to
East Africa in 1999 with the Board of Directors from the Oakland Zoo (that's
another story). One of us took this photo on location and so for a
significant birthday, I painted it for her. She has displayed in over
her mantle these 10 years.

As another significant birthday approaches for Nancy and with the knowledge that my painting abilities have improved tremendously, I
was able to wrestle the painting away from her under the condition I would only work on
the zebras. Well, you know the rest of the story... I immediately tore off
the protective cover on the back and removed the professional frame and got
down to totally repainting it. I love its new
look...but will Nancy? I hope that I get another shot at revising it in 10 more years. Happy Birthday Nancy!
