Comment from Kathy Banich


This is amazing. You have produced such a precise representation of these foxes, that it initially resembles a photograph. Your eye for detail and skill to execute with brushes is admirable. Subjectively (personal preference only), I question if the background in a green or blue would be more supportive of the subjects (sky or grass colors) something that would house them in their natural environment. Again, subjective and not (by no means) a criterion for this beautiful presentation.

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


A very sweet and endearing visual presented here of these little fox, showing their affection towards each other. I like how you've placed them within the frame colors, tones and background highlight your subjects and a pleasing way I especially like how you've taken the time to accentuate the fur well done.

I am not an artist, but this really caught my eye, such stunning detail in the foxes coats, the light and colours are beautiful, great eye capture, very realistic.
A pleasure to view. Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful pastel painting. The realism is well rendered, with lovely smooth lines, textures, and well-drawn features. The shading is just delicate. Overall, it was a very good effort. Good Luck!

What a lovely submission to the contest. Beautiful detail shown here of two foxes in love. The detail of the hair, whiskers and the whole image is wonderful. I wish I had a six to give you. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Ray Gordon


Janice very nice work, you are such a gifted artist with a major in soft pastels. This shows your expertise. I like the composition and the use of colored base paper. It good that you anchored your two foxes and didn't cut off their bodies and present it as a balloon. You work your soft pastels well. Excellent work, The best of luck in the contest. Ray
