Red Fox Portrait

Another fox?
When I did the first version of this one, it was in my art sketchbook. 
I liked it so much that I wanted to put it on canvas.

The first one was done with watercolor, colored pencils, paint markers, and a little acrylic.
The second one was done mostly with acrylic. 

We occasionally see a red fox, but not often.  I've never had one in my yard or had one bother my chickens, so I'm a friend of the fox.  

When I was a very little girl, I had two invisible friends.  Their names were Foxy and Cool.  My mother once asked me to draw what they looked like. I drew a kind of figure 8 or hour glass shaped blob with eyes, a mouth, and a few hairs on their heads. She used that as a guide to sew them into pillow friends for me.  One was pink and the other was yellow.  
Funny... once they were real... they stopped coming around as invisible.

Thanks to Tamara LaPorte for the fox painting in Sketchbook Revival 2023.

Forest Friends - Uli

I opened the invitation to my niece's baby shower, shopped around in her baby registry, saw a kind of a forest friends theme, and...

I've had so much fun painting these little name art canvases.
This one's special because we look forward to his arrival in a few weeks and we love Uli already.


Just for fun, here are some of the others.
