Work in Progress: Red Fox (title to come)

I am a happy camper as a couple of big boxes arrived the other day full of wood panels that I had ordered from the art supply store. First up, is a new piece on 24 x 24-inch wood panel of a red fox. It's going to be finished in the faux mosaic style I have been developing as of late. Earlier I stained up a bunch of paper for the background with tea, coffee, ink and red wine and it's just waiting for me to finish up the foreground image. Tonight I started the sketch of the fox with oil pastels and colored pencils. I should have more to show in a couple of days.
