Fox
6x6 encaustic paint on ampersand encausticbord, black floater frame.
This was painted using water soluble wax paint by @ceracolors.
I originally painted this one, because my mom used to collect foxes. She had fox hunting paintings, little fox figurines, foxes on china, and pillows, and she even had a plush fox stuffed animal in her living room that was so realistic, it scared my dog when he first saw it.
I once did a painting of a fox for her, in greyscale. She always wanted me to paint one in color, but i never got around to it while she was still here. :(
Hopefully this painting will go to someone who wants to give it to their mother, (who maybe also has a fabulous fox collection). I think my mom would like that.
Many thanks to @doris_the_photog for allowing me to use her amazing photo as a reference.
