Quiet Curiosity

• One of Andrea’s first original paintings, created in acrylic on canvas during a time of gentle exploration and self discovery.

• Inspired by a fox that regularly appeared near her home, alert, confident, and completely at ease in its own world

• Painted out of simple curiosity: wondering if she could truly capture its presence, expression, and spirit

• Not created with expectations, just a quiet question to herself, “Can I do this?”

• The fox’s steady gaze reflects both caution and calm, mirroring Andrea’s own mix of uncertainty and hope at the time

• Warm tones and layered brushwork give the piece depth, movement, and emotional connection

• Reproduced as a fine art giclée print on archival, softly textured cotton paper to preserve every detail

• Available as a print or simply framed, allowing the story and character to shine through

This was one of the very first pieces I ever painted.

At the time, I didn’t think of myself as an artist. I just loved being around nature and noticing the small, beautiful things that most people walk past without really seeing.

Where I lived, there was a fox who used to appear quite often. He was big, strong, and in such beautiful condition. I remember watching him and feeling quietly amazed that something so wild could live so close to us.

One day, I wondered if I could paint him.

Not because I thought I was especially good.
Not because I thought anyone would see it.
Just because I was curious.

I wanted to see if I could capture the way he looked back at me. Calm. Alert. Present. Almost as if we were both quietly studying each other.

Looking back now, I realise this painting was never really just about a fox.

It was about me testing my courage.
About wondering if I could trust my hands.
About giving myself permission to try.

In many ways, this was where everything began.

Before the confidence.
Before the commissions.
Before I believed this could ever be my life’s work.

It started here.
With curiosity.
And one fox who showed me I was braver than I thought.
