A fox with raised snout gazes upward amid explosions of warm yellow, orange, and cream paint that seem to radiate outward like joy itself. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with splashes and drips creating an energetic, almost celebratory atmosphere around the animal's hopeful profile. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
