I’ve been commissioned to paint a small fox kit painting – a portrait. These are three sketches I made in preparation for the painting, though I might just paint all of the poses. The painting is for a very nice lady that just loves red foxes. 
I had the wonderful opportunity to actually hold this little guy – so painting him is always special to me. It was so much fun to be able to get that close to him – he was just adorable!
(Actually, he started to get a little sleepy and doze a little because he was so comfortable.
)
I’ve been really lucky to be able to get up close to animals and wildlife and study them like I have. (Even bottle feeding a litter of hungry wolf puppies once….that was really a unique experience! ) It has made a world of difference in the inspiration that I draw from in my work. (A huge thanks to all of you that have helped me have these opportunities!!!)
I don’t post myself on the blog too often, but I just enjoyed my time with this little fox so much, I couldn’t resist (sorry). (Umm… my mouth is open because I’m talking. 
)

This is a larger painting that I was working on a little earlier this week. It’s a 20" x 30" watercolor of a bull elk, titled "Passage". This piece developed pretty rapidly. I painted a study for this larger painting as a miniature 4" x 6". The miniature study can be
seen in this post.

I recently completed the resting wolf miniature painting that some of you may have seen earlier (in progress) on the blog – this is how the piece was finished.
