Winter Fox

I recently saw a beautiful mixed media piece of a fox, with poetry and collage included. It was a large piece and at £600, out of my price range.
So, I thought, I'll paint a fox for myself. I searched a few photo websites which are copyright free for creatives and I found an image which attracted me. I changed a few things about it it - grasses, background and snow - and this is the result.

Winter Fox

I was painted on Saunders Waterford 140lb rough paper and was framed by Elite Framing, Cupar.

It's now hanging on my wall.
The image is sharper in real life, it seems resizing for the blog has made it a little fuzzy - but the eye follows you around the room!
If you click on the image, you see one that's a little sharper. 

Snow.

No dreaming necessary, here's the real thing - and its set to stay for Christmas!

My front garden (under there somewhere!)

So pretty in pictures. 

So treacherous to walk or drive!

oh yes, snow... and ice

Here in Essex, we've had a little snow!
Some of it has gone now, but not all, because since this fell last week, we haven't had but one day where the temps rose above freezing :(

 Loads of snow..

and ice...

Clearing a path and Missy staying inside, where its warm!

Missy in the Snow

Missy in the snow..




What? You can't see her?

that might be because she's really here :)

Dreaming of a White Christmas

With every morning pretty view....


oh snow, snow... so beautiful in pictures, so treacherous to be out in.

Temperatures in the minuses.. a gorgeous dog who has forgotten her lead manners as she pulls for home!

Asleep at the side of the roaring fire is the place to be :)
