A quick illo for this week's theme on Illustration Friday: wilderness.I grew up in Sicily, where my parents moved when I was very little. Bright sunlight, colorful flowers and olive trees everywhere. And the sea, of course... As soon as I turned 16 I had permission to spend the summer holidays by myself and where I wanted. Ironically, the only place I wanted to be was the mountains, the woods and quiet landscapes of the Dolomites.
This week's "lucky fluke" is this incredible 4-texture combo I found for the background. I know I'll use this again. Sleepy Hollow comes to my mind. Staying up late sometimes leads to positive results!

Beautiful colors and composition! I also love the look on the fox's face.
Really nice color combo...and I always feel that Italy has the most magically lit skies.
So very charming! I particularly like the ferns - almost negative space, and all silvery.

Beautiful, I love how you did with the textures and colors. And I like the fox's expression, it likes she's thinking of something mischievous (in a sweet way though :-)
Great style and lovely choice of colors!

Thank you for all the lovely comments and support. It's very very much appreciated! :)
I'll catch up with each and every one of you during the weekend. I've seen several blogs I didn't know of and want to add to my reader.
Gaia è bellissimo, le texture danno molta armonia, le felci bianche sono superbe e la volpina è deliziosa con quello sguardo un pò furbo un pò languido i colori sfumati che danno proprio l'idea del pelo ... come fai a ralizzare tutto questo "quick" !?
ciao Vitti :o)
I certainly have to agree with everyone about the color... it is wonderful!!! The little fox really pops off that background color. As well he should too, because he is sensational!
Complimenti Gaia! sei davvero bravissima,le tue illustrazioni mi piacciono un sacco!!! Posso aggiungere il tuo link al mio blog? ^___^
I love your style. It is distinctive and sharp. The paper cut feel really works well.
Cheers-
