George Kurasov and fox-inspired oil painting

First oil painting in 2 years. Let me know what you guys think of it, or if you have any questions.

Sorry I have been away for some time; I've been thinking hard if Steemit as a platform is still worth the effort. There has been some saga and a great plunge in the Steem price. What do you guys think?

This might be sacrilegious to some, but you've got to admit that the user interface and user experience isn't the best on this platform. Given that it's based off blockchain tech, you'd think developers would be more vested in improving the user experience.. but no! They seem to gallivanting off doing something else. I don't know, let me know what you guys think!

Wow, I love this @foxcauldry ! The colours and the textures are so rich and wonderful ! And I love the composition very much <3 This is your first oils in 2 years? :O You should totally do more cuz this kind of artworks are so wonderful * ___ *

As for your comments about user experience in steemit, yeah, it can be a bit daunting and not very newbie friendly, but they say that things are finally looking up for alt coins (a little) so .... I donno about 'worth it' or not in terms of financial gains, but personally, I've enjoyed making connections on this platform :) There is quite* an engaged userbase :)

Asterisk is placed there because some days I do feel this "engaged" user base is the minority on the platform > __ >;;;;

Anyway, I love this painting! Hope you will share more like this in the future :D
