Notes: “This painting is the sort I really love to do. It gives me a wonderful opportunity to play with textures and to establish a strong pattern within which all the various elements have their say. More than once I’ve made the comment that red fox are very paintable little critters. Having had a young vixen as a boarder many years ago, I feel I have an understanding of their vivacious, complex character. The traits that give them prominence in folklore make them great subjects for the likes of me.” — Bob Kuhn
