This painting depicts a tranquil rural scene bathed in early morning mist. In the foreground, a red fox stands alert beside a large, round hay bale. Further back, additional hay bales are scattered across the field, with the misty atmosphere softening the distant trees. The detailed texture of the hay and the fox’s fur contrasts with the softer, almost ethereal background, creating a balanced and immersive composition.

This painting's realistic style, serene atmosphere, and detailed execution make it a valuable and appealing piece for art collectors and nature enthusiasts alike.

Andrew was born in Guisborough, North Yorkshire in 1961. After leaving school, he completed an apprenticeship in joinery, and later completed a Diploma course in graphics and illustration. It was during a spell working as an archaeological illustrator that he met his wife and in 1991 they headed for the Highlands of Scotland where he had always found inspiration in the dramatic and unspoilt beauty of the Cairngorms. A decade later, however, they and their daughter returned home to his beloved Yorkshire.

Andrew has exhibited his work among many of the world's top wildlife artists and each autumn stages a one-man show in his home town of Guisborough. He is a member of the Royal Society of Miniature Artists, Sculptors and Gravers, receiving the prestigious "HRH Prince of Wales Award for Outstanding Miniature Painting" and the "Anthony Lester Art Critics Award" at the Mall Galleries, London in 2021.

In 2017 he was commissioned by the Jersey Post to produce a range of stamps to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the J.S.P.C.A. and, over the years, has been commissioned by many top companies including Bacardi, Penguin Books, HarperCollins, Land Rover, Barclays Bank, Marks and Spencer and the New York Botanical Gardens. He was especially proud, as a Yorkshireman, to be asked to work with Taylor's of Harrogate, in producing a range of paintings for their "Yorkshire Tea" brand packaging. See less
