  3. I have one that comes to mind as I sleep at the moment of a woman dancing with a circle of children. Hoping to use her in the nursery rhyme book, which I must get back to. I am being distrcted by foxes!

  7. Hello Jackie,
    I wish I was the fox in the painting,his tail looks really warm and fluffy, is his tail magical too? Foxes are my favourite animal.

  8. Have you ever thought of collecting paintings that have "tales" like this one together into a book? A kind of "box of jewels" -- you'd have the illustration (the jewel) on one page, and the other page would be the "story" of the illustration. Like for this one would be the story you told us about the Winter Queen and her lover the fox, their night dancing under the moonlight, her melted ice crown and her gift of a lapwing. Kind of like a collection of original "fairy stories." I think it would be magical.
