amelia and the okapi

amelia ( sometimes called mia) she was the first one out of the four i painted, for some reason i wanted to paint her with a zebra...when i shared this with her mother. she told me that amelia  really likes the okapi (a animal which is half zebra) and her mom had found a okapi toy which she is holding in her hand in the painting. her mother is a great photographer and she totally understood how i wanted to paint her, i feel this could be in some kind of movie or childrens book, i loved doing it...i feel i captured her eyes which are very blue, she's lovely with a wonderful giggle.30x40 acrylic washes on wood panel.
