Foxy Loxy 8x10 Red Fox Portrait Photography Archival print
Notes from the Artist:
This is a print of my Red fox. I saw her at the ecotarium.org last summer. She is enjoying the sunshine. Looks so happy napping in the grass. I swear she’s smiling.
It is an 8×10. This comes Matte or glossy. I suggest matte for less of a glare when framed. Frosted glass is also helpful.

Bleeding Hearts Pink Macro The Official Mourning Flower of Tibet 8x10 Archival Photo
Original Fine Art Photograph
Photographer: Heather O’Connor
Description: This is a macro or closeup shot of a pretty set of bleeding heart flowers on a stem. It was shot on location at the Tower Hill Botanical Gardens in West Boylston, Massachusetts. Not far from my house. This is not the resolution of the final print. This is a lower quality jpeg for safety reasons.
Print Size: 8×10 : Do you prefer a glossy print, or a matte print? This is entirely up to you. I like matte, as it has less of a glare when framed under glass. You might like it differently, or not wish to frame under glass. Just tell me your choice in notes to seller, or convo me. If I don’t hear from you I will make every attempt to get in touch before printing it. I will print it matte, if I don’t hear from you. If you wish for a smaller size, or a larger size. Just convo or email me hskoconnor [!at] gmail.com I will very happy to accomodate you.
Interested in consignment or wholesale, convo me your requets! Thanks for looking!
