Red Fox in Pumpkin Patch Pastel by Charlotte Yealey

8-1/2x11
Pastel on Wallis paper
I visited this pumpkin patch last October to pick out pumpkins with my grandchildren and while I was there I kept thinking that it would be great to see a red fox run by. So a year later while going through my reference photos I pulled out the photos I took in this pumpkin patch . Then I went through my wildlife photos and found a fox photo I took years ago that was small and blurred since this fox was trotting through a field one morning. That's how I got the idea to create this pastel.
