Peter Darro's depiction of a woodland scene in which a red fox confronts a male blue jay is a classic example of the artist's observations of the wild providing useful material for his work.
Bending down, the fox carefully watches the bluejay as it opens its beak and flaps its wings. Staring at one another, a sense of anticipation is created as the viewer is left to wonder what will happen.
1971
