I finished ‘babble’ today, and for the first time I remembered to take photos at a few stages during the painting process. The drag hunting season has started here in the UK, the sight and sound of the hunt across the countryside is so iconically british. The traditions of yesteryear continue with a laid scent, since the ban on fox hunting…..
….The foxes can breath with a sigh of relief.

Wow! beautiful job! Two favorite things with this painting that shouts out, the eyes and the look of softness in the fur.

Babble is gorgeous. Another charming one, Rebecca! The fur is so invitingly soft and real – as it always is, here! – I want to reach out and give her a good stroke. 🙂

Thank you JP, I have to confess I have not…no money, but it would have been a good idea, and if I could have I would have…..drawing all my cards individually, time expensive, but saves money that I don’t have 😀
