Fox 1 is an original work on paper by artist, David Hunt. David says: I have always had something of a fascination with foxes. There is one I see often of an evening near where I live – there is something so wonderfully confident and purposeful about the way she moves around, eyes keenly alert to everything. Even if unseen, the sound of a fox calling on a quiet night is a lovely reminder of their presence.
I have done quite a few sketches of her over time, getting to know and understand her. Sketches, drawings and notes that record shapes and “volumes”, the way the fur lays across the different parts of the fox’s body. All of this gathered information can then be pulled together to form a drawing in the studio.

David Hunt comments "after a career that has ranged from working on oil rigs in Africa and Central Asia to running my own business building shepherd's huts for private clients I have now returned to my first loves of drawing and draftsmanship. I am mostly self taught and have studied intaglio etching techniques with john Howard R.E. and Melvyn Petterson R.E.. The natural world has always been my abiding interest and, inspired by the fields and marshland around where I live, wildlife and landscape have always been a constant theme. There is no greater pleasure than a day spent out and about with my binoculars and a sketch book."
