Fox Enjoying A Cuppa Tea

"Having a Cuppa Tea"

Mr. Fox, enjoy a nice cuppa tea. 

An original illustration and watercolor painting. My cat Willow, ever the art critic, decided that she didn't like the top left side of the painting, so she decided to "help" with the ear, and also leave her paw print. That possibly signified she was happy with the painting.

Painted on Stratmore 400 series, cold pressed watercolor paper. Acid free, heavy weight.

Size 9" x 12" - sprayed with a matte varnish.
