Oh he is divine…......lovely use of colour :))
Paul Compton replied
Thank you Lisa. It’s rare that I use colour so I thank you ver much for the encouraging comment : )
Pascale Baud
love the gesture and traces… the “repentirs”
I don’t know if the English language use the same expression for these tracks of pencil.. :)
Soxy Fleming!
I sort of think it is an aura
Paul Compton replied
I think of it as an aura also : )
Mathew Reed
Paul, this is so adorable :] I’m wanting to buy a print of it, but I think I’m going to have to settle for a card for now until I have more money I can spend freely :D But I truly love this work. The splash of colours, the rawness, the sketchiness, the layers over the original sketches, the cuteness. And the fact it’s a fox :P I love foxes and wolves. Actually, instead of the card, are you willing to part with the original? If so let me know in a message about the details and I’ll see if I can afford to get it :P If not, that’s cool, I’ll just get the card and maybe a framed print later on ;]
_ great job.

Holly Ringland
paul, i saw this pop up on my watchlist feed and immediately thought of one night the boy became a fox – a piece of yours that i love so strongly. i know you don’t use colours much, but gee they’re effective here… what a beauty he is… i particularly love the undefined edges and splashes of colour, you don’t quite know where he begins and ends and i think that’s just how he likes it. love, love, love x
Paul Compton replied
Holly I love love love you! Thank you so much, I will have to try my hand at colour more often X

Very different from anything I’ve seen from you. But then again this is different from anything I’ve seen at all and you have always been one to be so creative and original with the subject and the medium. Love how the pencil and pen sketches underneath suggests a moving gesture as though the fox in seeking something, and once it has found it; it is still and complete in full color; a progressing story in one picture.
Paul Compton replied
You always offer the most amazing, insightful and wonderful observations about artworks Mui-Ling, you should be an arts reviewer. Thank you so much for your words and support : )

Gorgeous colour and image Paul. And the hollow eyes and fading towards the end of the body give it such a sad, poignant feel. Really a beautiful piece.
