"Tender is the Night"
24 x 48" Original Oil on Canvas with Heavy Impasto by Gail Chandler

Gail Chandler's "Tender is the Night" captures a serene, nocturnal moment with a family of foxes nestled beneath a lush canopy of grapevines. The mother fox, standing tall, reaches for a cluster of grapes, her rich red fur contrasting beautifully with the deep greens and purples of the surrounding foliage. Her cubs, full of curiosity and wonder, explore the textured landscape, each stroke of Chandler's heavy impasto technique adding depth and dimension to the scene. The intricate layers of paint bring the scene to life, with the vines seemingly extending beyond the canvas, creating an immersive experience for the viewer.

Inspired by the natural beauty and tender bonds of family, this piece is also imbued with a sense of spiritual reverence. Referencing Song of Solomon 2:15: "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom," Chandler reminds us of the delicate balance of nature and the importance of nurturing and protecting the beauty around us.
