Outfoxing Winter

7x9 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Canson paper sketched last weekend and finished today. I used white gouache for the snowflakes and the snow is the white of the paper. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Cascade Red Fox

8.5x5.5 watercolor on Masters sketchbook paper done a few days ago, a composite using two different references, of a cold red fox in winter. This was first sketched in pencil and painted using White Nights paints. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

Red Fox

14x11 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper drawn yesterday and finished today.  I was lucky and able to get photos of this wily colorful fellow as he visited neighbor's yard.  The snow however, is imaginary.  The red fox is the most common and widespread of their species, found in most all of the States.

Fantastic Fox

12x4 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper drawn and painted today, inspired by photos I took of a fox in the studio's backyard a few years ago.  This fellow is feeling fine and fantastic.  He is surveying his snowy domain, those sly, slitted eyes watching for the slightest movement of unsuspecting prey.Image is COPYRIGHT 2014 Kay Smith.

Fox in the Snow

9x12 watercolor of a woodland fox coming out to hunt its next meal.  This vignette was painted in a direct but loose manner in one application.
