"Red Fox"
9"x 5 1/2"
colored pencil on paper
This is my contribution to James Parker's sketchbook for The Flying Moleskins project for his theme of wildlife. 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 them 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.
As you might have noticed, I haven't been posting to my blog for a while. Although my blogging has slowed down, I am still actively involved in the art world with teaching, sketchbooking, and taking it slow in the studio painting. It seems difficult to find time to paint, let alone blog about it. Thank you to all of my artist friends who are so kind to keep in touch. I have such admiration (and envy!) of daily painters and wish that I could be one too, but for now I will post when I can.
Blessings to all!
~ Michelle

Great job, Michelle! I really love the expression--wonderful drawing!
I understand completely and share your constraints with keeping up with blog posts.
Adorable!
this has such a delicate beauty to it. It's absolutely a gem! I'm sure James will treasure it forever.
Beaucoup de charme et de grâce dans cette oeuvre... j'aime l'oeil brillant de ce renardeau...
Bisous
I suspect most of us are in the same boat, Michelle. I am trying to pick up where you left off a wee bit, nothing formal. Just going to do a bit of writing once a month on some art history and maybe put a challenge out there. No special blog but I love art history and want to teach myself a bit. So? The best way to do is to do! LOL
