It's a lovely piece - spontaneous, fresh and very appealing artistically. I love the way you faded the fox into the background.

They are beautiful, as is your painting.

Gorgeous little creature and you have painted a wonderfully delicate and descriptive portrait of it.

Thank you, all of you, very much, you are very kind. I am relatively new to this, I have no training. I started out in watercolour, painting simple, imaginary faces that came into my head. Then, I tried acrylic, which I now prefer, and , painted a lot of impressions of "what's out there" - the Cosmos. I am very interested in the science of the Universe. And, then, I went on to animals, because I love them.

I don't think you need any training - you have a natural sense of composition. I share your enthusiasm for these little foxes - they're incredibly beautiful, and astonishingly delicate.

Acrylic on Oval Canvas. I have seen a pair of these wonderful little creatures in a zoo in Sussex, and, although i have no training and have only been painting for three years, I had to try and create my impression because they are so beautiful.
