Juvenile kit fox in watercolor

[Joy]

This is 5.5 x 5.5 on Arches 140CP. Despite the small size it took a while to do, as it became such a mess I wanted to bin it. (Nothing new here.) Even my husband suggested I start over, but I persevered, adjusting values and adding some detail.

So glad you preserved, Joy. It is really well done! Love the eyes.

Nice work Joy, yes - it is good to keep going, not only it is opportunity to learn more but also to teach us that the potential of seeing things and improving on it is always there.

I LOVE this; it's so cute! I think you did a great job. The eyes are so soulful and the fur looks soft. I want to pet this sweet little thing.

 

[Jo Castillo]

So good, perseverance pays off. So soft and loveable.

Thank you all! I just really hate "abandoning" anything. That (to me) is worse than a poor result.

You did GREAT here, Joy - the least of which is just by hanging in there and sticking with it. The eyes here are so clear and light, and the expression is so sweet. You did a lot right here.

We're alike in thinking that the bigger failure is to abandon something without really investing some time/effort first. Sometimes it's just hard to know if we should throw in the towel. Applause for you!

Wow! Again, Wow!

Terri, Donna, thank you for looking and being so positive. I am glad I stuck through the "ugly stage".
