Guardian Of The Hen House

Farm Fox

Don't leave the hen house door open.

Keep the fencing strong!

Eyes are constantly watching for an opening.

When opportunity presents itself there is no hesitation.

Predatory nature does not apologize or explain.

Another painting for my fall theme series

Did you really made this picture? I can't believe how many talented people are here on steem

Thank you @faces, yes I painted this little picture, animals are some of my favorite subjects. I like you profile picture idea ;-)

Thank you and once again, wonderful gift you have. Keep posting i will be following

@reddust,
Wow actually I thought it is a real fox! It's amazing artwork! Thanks for sharing such wonderful painting with us! Really appreciate your effort!

Cheers~

Steemit gives me the energy and funds to practice every day. It is my pleasure to share my work. Thank you @theguruasia!

wow nice art..💕

Thought that was a pussy cat at first. Foxes and cats do resemble each other. Love the Autumn colors.

Cats and foxes do look alike when sitting all curled up in a furry ball. I've read the foxes nature is like a cross between the domestic dog and cat as well.

Yes, a class to themselves.

Very lovely and perfect Autumn colors! :)

Thank you @aci7, the fox is a perfect subject <3

Cute fox ^^ Is he waiting for his opportunity ;)?

Yes, cute but efficient killers of chickens.

Foxes and cats do resemble each other. Love the Autumn colors.

Yes, they hunt the same type of prey, that maybe why they have similar builds. Autumn is a lovely show, nice entertainment before winter comes and dull greys rule the day!

This is spectacular art work :D

Foxes are always watching. And check the perimeter more often then you do.

The trouble with such pictures, is that the idea is simple... and then you have to paint all of those leaves, that nature just piles up soo easily.

I need to practice on the chaos and the rhythm in nature, leaves are perfect teachers. I still haven't perfected fallen leaves. By the time winter arrives hopefully I will finally grok fallen leaves ;-)

Yeah, and foxes will dig under chicken wire and also climb over it. We had to use chicken wired moveable cages to protect our chickens from hawks, coyotes, and foxes.

How beautiful and adorable :)

Thank you @nehab!

You are most welcome 😊. My pleasure 😊. It has a great perspective. The cat is adorable and the landscape is beautiful. Great colours and texture. And the verse is apt for the scene

@reddust - Ma'm it's beautiful & has a nature look & feel also. Love it & nice you decided to share this wonderful artwork <3

Wow.its really great thinking and working. I like it so much. I think you are succesful about this subject.

Perfect poem to pair with this painting. I love how cute and cuddly the little fox looks, but very shallow underneath is a cold blooded predator. Nature.
You caught it all. Nice work.

Speaking of that, it seems my post has mirrored your painting again. The post you just commented on my page was about building a predator proof cage.
We have some temporary synergy going on. Awesome!

haha i loved this art very cute :D

excellent you are truly brilliant

fall theme series is amazing :)

This is beautiful @reddust ! ^_^ Love the fall colors in nature and this is so greatly rendered in your painting...!

This really great. Seeing the entire painting process is so much like writing a blog except rather than words it is with color. First, you start with the background and piece by piece a picture comes together to tell a second story. I want to thank you posting yourself as a follower of my blog. I just made my second post today after 17 days @pjbnikao So much time and energy put into this, it makes me wonder where it will lead. Have a great day!!!

Wow excellent art work great artist you are :)

I love the fall. It is very slow coming to us this year. Usually it begins in September and it's pretty much freezing by now, but instead summer has decided not to let go. It's actually really odd to be in shorts and t-shirts at this time of year. I shouldn't complain because Winter Is Coming, haha, off topic, but that was a brilliant catchphrase for GOT, now you can't think that without it coming to mind.
I shouldn't complain, but I am worried that fall will be skipped over. The leaves are starting to change, but the air...it's not just that it's warm, sometimes in late summer it can be warm and I'll still feel Fall on the air, do you know what I mean? Anyway, I don't feel it right now, that particular quality to the breeze, the slightly darker hue of the daylight.

Sorry it's been awhile since I've visited, I always enjoy coming here!

Beautiful artwork and no wonder hen house seems to be in trouble ;)

beautiful paintings
keep going on
