The Autumn Leap (Pastel)

Every season brings new moments to observe the foxes that visit my communal garden, but autumn always seems the most playful. As golden leaves drift from the trees, the garden is transformed into a tapestry of warm colour and movement, creating the perfect stage for one fleeting encounter.

Inspired by one of these moments, this original pastel captures the energy and curiosity that make foxes such captivating neighbours. Rather than portraying stillness, I wanted to celebrate the joy of movement—the instant when nature, light and wildlife come together before the moment disappears again.
