The Fox - Upcoming night by Nella Fauve in Paris

This original oil painting, created in my Montmartre studio in Paris, captures the quiet anticipation of twilight. The fox, with its flowing golden fur, sits gracefully amidst a backdrop of lush emerald leaves, gazing thoughtfully toward the shadowed edge of the forest as nightfall approaches. The composition conveys a sense of serenity and introspection, as though the fox is attuned to the subtle changes in the fading light. Rich tones of amber and gold blend seamlessly with deep forest greens and indigo shadows, creating a dynamic contrast between light and dark—a visual metaphor for the transition between day and night. Completed in 2023, this artwork reflects my fascination with the symbolic power of animals and the beauty of fleeting moments in nature. My expressive brushstrokes and layered colors bring depth and texture, inviting the viewer into this serene, dreamlike scene.
