A fox painting

A fleeting moment, a moment in time. Just for a split second, this fascinating little fellow stops in the tracks. He pays attention to something. To what ? Hmm, I don’t know. Maybe a rumble of thunder in the distance or the sound of his next dinner ? We don’t know and I guess we never will. But the lucky photographer was at the right time, at the right place and captured the photo I subsequently used for this painting.

I love foxes. Such smart and highly intelligent creatures with their shiny coats and lively eyes. Thankfully we live in an area with a lot of them and therefore I am planning to create many more fox paintings. They will also form part on my Irish Wildlife series. So watch this space.
