Description
Idea behind this work is to promote an appreciation of diversity and tolerance by understanding that we are all of God's creation! Skin color is a factor that is determined by how close one lives to the equator, so it is a genetic adaptation over time to ones's environment! Did you know that the patterning of the zebra with the black and white stripes is actually very useful and plays a vital role in helping the species survive in the Savannas of Africa? Its unique patterning helps to deflect over 70% of the sun's rays and since the members of the species tend to stick together, this bond that the equines share aids in warding off attacks from predators like lions! When a herd of 10 or more zebras stands together, the lion's eyes begin to confuse it into thinking that it is one giant mass, instead of individual animals! The same is true for us as human species, we are stronger when we stand together against tyranny and fear than we are ever alone! Let us all always remember that we are as ONE tribe and ONE people in the eyes of Our Creator!
Please note that this is a work in progress...the original is being painted with three borders around the center or main image of these two zebras and will serve to add visual texture and depth! I hope that you will like and enjoy the first of what I hope will be a series of Safari works that glorify God!
