ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ Chicken

The Fox and the Grapes

My family name is Fox, and this week is my mom's birthday. For her birthday we try to find cards with Foxes on them, but since I could not find one ... I made one instead. There is something so beautiful about the red fox and at the same time so elusive.  They are in the forest here but we have only seen one in the past  6 years.

In the sketch I had drawn some grasses and reeds, but decided that I would rather have the contrast of a cool stone wall instead.   My next project for the fox is to find him some chickens to chase.  Don't worry, he won't catch any.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ EXPIRED

Now that the hunter's license has EXPIRED the woodland animals are once again roaming freely in the forest.
