Evening Patrol

Description

“Evening Patrol” – 5.5″ x 8.5″ gouache on paper

This expressive gouache painting captures a quiet yet magical moment of urban wildlife. A red fox strolls confidently along a purple-toned path behind the artist’s apartment, as if surveying its own territory. The setting sun casts a warm orange glow across the sky, bathing the scene in the colors of evening. A row of pine trees stands in rhythm along the edge of the path, interrupted only by one taller tree that breaks the pattern—just as the fox breaks the stillness of the dusk. Painted from observation and memory, this piece celebrates the small wonders of nature coexisting with city life. The artist often finds inspiration in moments like this, watching from her balcony as the fox makes its rounds.
