i then painted another fox, a completely different style, just experimenting. I chose to keep the vulnerable fox position, however I wanted to keep it much more simplistic, I chose bright bold colours. black and white and red to represent the blood of the fox .
I think this piece is highly effective, strong and provokes ideas of life and death of the fox.
I left the fox with no face , as to leave it with no identity, I could have painted the fox, and showed the sadness ro the blankness of a dead fox, i feel I could have showed the pain, however I feel it is more effective to let the viewer do this themselves and give their own emotion to the fox.
