Miniature Painting - No 40 - Snow Fox

When I first started painting this little fox I intended to just have a background of forest greens and browns. But, because of his fluffy coat, and that he looks like he's trying to warm his feet with his tail, it just seemed to call for a wintery background. So, despite the fact that it's currently June and nearly summer, I went ahead and painted him in the snow, little bits of falling snowflakes accumulating on his nose, ears, and coat.
