Line Design, a Zebra Acrylic Painting

I've always wanted to paint a Zebra, their line patterns I find Fascinating. But I could never come up with a composition I was happy with. Until now.
I painted this in Acrylics on a 20"x 30" Oak Panel.
I tried to use a kind of Macro view and also Depth with Colors cooling and details going out of focus as you move back along the body to make a more interesting composition. I'm pretty happy with it
