Artist, American, born 1954

The image depicts a fox surrounded by fallen branches. The view is slightly elevated, emphasizing the patterns and textures of the branches. The horizon is hidden by the dense cluster of bare branches above and around the fox. The artwork showcases detailed strokes or weaving techniques for the fur of the fox and the bark of the branches. The color scheme is earthy, featuring browns, grays, and muted yellows with hints of pale pinks and blues in the sky. The scene ranges from close-up detailed branches to a complex mesh of entangled branches in the background. Below the animal and branches, there are abstract dark geometric shapes, adding texture and color contrast to the piece.
