The Beginings--Red Fox in The Foxgloves

Finally I have to committed to paper.  Tomorrow,
I will plan out the rest of the composition and begin
to apply paint.  My challenge for this piece is to get
fox hair looking like fox fur, oh so soft. and to use
the minimum of brush strokes to to attempt that.
The rest will or will not fall in place.  I see a potential
issue with the pinks in the foxglove clashing with
the oranges.....Guess I will have to place some of
those colors in the fox's fur.

Are you all ready for the "ride?"
