Doodlewash Prompt. Favorite color. Did you know that foxes are the only canine with partially retractable claws? From a reference photo by Malcolm Smith https://www.flickr.com/photos/143966226@N06/50004572781
And today’s Doodlewash Prompt. Favorite color. I don’t have a favorite color. I’m more about the way colors work together. One of my favorite color combos is Aussie Red Gold and Lavender.

You did a beautiful art piece. He looks cute, contented and enjoy the overall colours used and design composition
Many thanks, Joan! It was all the more interesting to paint knowing the story behind the reference photo.
I’ve long admired the way you use color unexpectedly, especially in shadows. The pink flowers provide a perfect accent. This is a lovely painting. Foxes are endearing creatures, and this one is at the top of that quality. Lucky hubby.
Thank you, Sharon! I based this painting on a photo that one of my friends on Flickr took. He’s always seeing foxes in his suburban (do they call them suburban in England?) neighborhoods. It makes me a bit envious, though sorry for the foxes. They tend not to have long life spans living that close to humans.
We’ve got coyotes here in suburban Southern California (Orange County.) During this lockdown, with so little activity and almost no traffic, we’ve been overrun by them, and they’re becoming fearless. Not a good thing in suburbia.
We have coyotes here, too. Probably foxes as well, but they have room to stay away from the humans where I’m at. I think the coyotes are more dangerous than the foxes. Both can carry rabies and be dangerous to small children.
