This red fox is showing off his distinctive dark pointy ears and lovely long profile. : )

Portrait in Profile

 

11x14"

Still plugging away at portrait painting on Sundays. : )

Profiles are really challenging and I think rarely done. The most famous one is probably Whistler's mother. Or, it's the first one I can visualize easily. Profile are kind of harsh and, since it's not the way we look at each other, they don't seem to capture the person as we know them. Still, I'm happy with the result.

I drew this one, took a pic of it with my iPhone, then painted it in watercolour.
