Living in downtown Toronto in the 1980's, I would often hike along the Don River Valley where I would find a variety of wildlife sign in the snow - confirmation of the glimpses I had of fox and raccoon from the road. Conservation centres, wildlife sanctuaries and zoos are invaluable to the animal artist, offering unique opportunities to sketch and observe the animal firsthand; this fox was a resident at a wildlife sanctuary in Ontario.
