Vulpine, Drawing

by Kelley Hensing

Part of a series I’m working on symbolizing life and decay, nature and transformation. The painted version will be available at my Illuxcon booth this October 17th-21st.

I was sketching from imagination one night and I was happy when this fox emerged. I later added detail to the skull by referencing a real one. Drawing is pencil on vellum, frame is vintage that I’ve repainted with black, gray and god speckled effect.

Size: 12×18 with frame, Art: 9×15. Convex glass over top.

(A note on the glass, it’s original to frame; there’s a tiny hairline scratch in the middle, but other than that it’s in clear condition. Original bubble glass can be hard to find, so it could be removed or replaced with flat, though I prefer the convex shape myself.)
