Above the falls

This dynamic oil painting captures the thrilling movement of Plains Zebras as they race up a misty mountain, their forms partially obscured by the fog from a nearby waterfall. The loose, expressive brushstrokes lend a sense of speed and fluidity to the scene, enhancing the illusion of motion and the ethereal atmosphere of the mist.

The background is dominated by soft whites and greys, blending seamlessly into the diagonal hill painted in rich burnt sienna and earth tones. The foreground, composed of earthy browns and scattered pebbles, contrasts beautifully with the cooler tones of the fog. Hints of purple subtly weave through the composition, adding depth and vibrancy. The Zebras are rendered in a harmonious mix of these colours, their stripes merging with the surroundings to create a captivating, almost dreamlike effect.
