Clever Like a Fox

 "Red Fox"
9"x 5 1/2"
colored pencil on paper


This is my contribution to James Parker's sketchbook for his wildlife theme. If you know James, you know that he is a amazing artist and has a wonderful sense of humor. What you may not know (or maybe you do!) is that he is a very talented and clever writer and poet as well. 

This is the last sketchbook for me to complete and I have thoroughly enjoyed being apart of this project throughout the year. It's been a great experience with a wonderful group of artist that I am humbled and honored to be a part of. I thank each of you for their contributions to my sketchbook and cannot wait to see it in person. A big tremendous THANK YOU to Dominique Eichi for starting the project and inviting me to participate.

    Yes, a wonderful expression on the face, and I know James will appreciate that as he loves animals so much. Beautiful drawing, Michelle and I look forward to this book arriving; guess I'd better start thinking of what animal James would like. It has been an honor to be on this project with you also!

    The expression is so fresh and real. The pose looks like he's ready to go, jump or something. It is a beautiful piece I know he will love .
    What a perfect last piece for his book for it give me the impression this is not the end but just the beginning.

    Love this beautiful rendering of the clever fox, Michelle! I'm sure that James will come up with some foxey comments about it.
    This Moleskin journey has been fun.
