The Foxes, 1919 (No. 533)

Oil on canvas

Private Collection (Loan No. 26.2.98) - On display at Grace Hudson Museum, Ukiah, CA (2002-11-1)

"When Kole-pi-ta [Culin Mitchell] had measles, she was peevish, restless and hard to please and was very trying until the old grandfather brought in a fox kitten. By the time Kole-pi-ta had recovered, the fox was named Con-cu and established as a member of the family under the protection of her indulgent parents.

Con-cu took kindly to domesticity - ate, played and slept with Kole-pi-ta - and she adopted many of his woodsy habits. On warm autumn days when she should be in the mission school with the other children, she is frivoling in the woods with Con-cu - climbing trees; hunting mice, grubs, berries; or sporting in the leaves.

When drying meat, fish, or fruit are scattered or missing or any other light mischief done in the [Indian] Rancheria, the injured lay it to the 'foxes!'

- Grace Hudson

Grace herself had a pet fox when she was young, along with pet squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, civet cats, and doves. She remembered her fox fondly as a ‘jolly, affectionate little fellow, and always up to something.’”

Mr. Jack or Jackie, 1930

Cast Ceramic with Glass Eyes

On display at Grace Hudson Museum, Ukiah, CA (10428)

“[This] was a jackrabbit sculpture to be marketed as a garden statue, a prototype of which you see here. Indeed, this very ‘Mr. Jack’ (or ‘Jackie’), can be seen in various locations outside the Sun House in a number of photographs from the Museum's collections.”
