MARLA A. EPSTEIN CAUTIOUS APPROACH

16” x 20” — Oil $1,900

Foxes, they say, are believed to be the symbol of wile or cunning. Perhaps this is why the red fox is hunted for sport. With their bushy tails pointed ears and narrow snout, they are a member of the dog family. On a trip to Montana, I had the pleasure of observing and photographing this four-legged vixen, a female fox. It was late summer so she still had her summer coat, much thinner than her winter coat. Racing through streams and climbing over fallen tree trunks I must have taken over a hundred photos and glad I did because she has been the subject of many a painting.
