"Tender Wild" - Original Artwork

This impasto painting tells the story of love in the wild—the quiet, unbreakable bond between a mother fox and her kit. Their fur glows in warm russets and golds, created with thick, textured palette knife strokes that bring both softness and strength to the scene.

Set against a backdrop of deep evergreens and snowy ground, the mother stands protectively while the young kit gazes up with trust and curiosity. The contrast of fiery coats against the cool forest blues captures both the warmth of family and the untamed beauty of nature.

I felt such joy painting this piece, as foxes remind me of resilience, playfulness, and devotion. Tender Wild is about that rare harmony—the fierce yet gentle love of a mother, glowing like a flame in the quiet forest.
