I did this painting for my Landscape painting class. The assignment was to take photos and do studies of animals at the zoo and their faux habitats, then to create a painting of our own composition based off those photos and studies. I based this painting off of what I learned from my photos and studies, but not really any particular one of them.

The arctic foxes at the Denver Zoo had their winter coats still, and were really active that day. There are a few cool looking twisted wood pieces and logs in there that I liked too.

I named the painting Ciro because he's supposed to be one of my characters; a world travelling arctic fox with brilliant sun coloured eyes (thus his name Ciro, which means 'sun' in Italian).

Original is acrylic paints on 15" X 20" illustration board

This is totally BEAUTIFULL!! The eyes stand out so well within the beautifully coloured piece which draws your eyes down the log and through his fur! ( gosh I should be submitting DD's with descriptions like that o_o; )

The colors are magnificent (the yellows in the wood/stump and those purple mountains... yum), and what a wonderful addition to a portfolio. This is a well thought out piece and I enjoy the overall narration that is portrayed in this piece. Well done! <3

Ohmigawd! I went to the Denver Zoo and saw both of them too! They were SO cute with their huge coats. My friend Jenny and I thought they were awesome, cause they looked like huge balls of white fluff with legs. >w<
