Gerald The Curious Fox
A choose-your-own-adventure painting series
Meet Gerald—a curious fox whose path is being created one choice, one painting and one chapter at a time.
You decide what happens next.
The story behind the story
His path hasn’t been painted yet.
Gerald’s journey began with a fox sitting among the wildflowers—and two possible directions calling to him.
I could have decided what happened next. Instead, I handed that choice to you.
With every chapter, I’ll create a new original painting and continue Gerald’s story. Then you’ll be given another decision. The winning choice determines where the story goes…and what appears on my easel next.
None of us can see the entire path yet.
That’s the point.
Because sometimes the path doesn’t appear before we choose. Sometimes choosing is what creates it.
Chapter One
The Path Begins With a Choice
A mysterious light glows between the trees while a butterfly beckons Gerald toward the unknown.
One offers something warm and visible. The other offers no promise at all—only the feeling that it may be worth following.
Gerald couldn’t choose both.
So I asked you to decide.
The audience chose: Follow the butterfly
Chapter Two is now unfolding…

The Path Begins With a Choice
Chapter One of Gerald’s Journey
This is the original painting that introduced Gerald the Curious Fox—and placed the first decision in the audience’s hands.
Sitting quietly among the mountain wildflowers, Gerald notices two very different invitations.
Behind him, a golden light glows between the trees. It is warm, visible and seemingly safe to follow.
Beside him, a butterfly begins fluttering toward the darker part of the forest. It offers no clear destination—only the feeling that something may be waiting beyond what Gerald can see.
The audience was asked to choose:
Should Gerald follow the light?
or
Should he follow the butterfly into the unknown?
The butterfly won.
This painting holds the moment before Gerald takes that first step—the pause between what feels certain and what quietly calls us toward something more.
It is the beginning of an unfolding Choose Your Own Adventure series in which every audience decision shapes the story and inspires the next original painting.
Because sometimes the path doesn’t appear before we choose.
Sometimes choosing is what creates it.
