Commissioned wildlife and nature art by Rebecca Latham.
 
 
This painting was requested by a gallery for his collectors.  He also requested a matching piece of a ruffed grouse which is already in progress and will be posted soon.  I began by roughing in the patterns of the bird, which is fairly complex in both a woodcock and the ruffed grouse. 
 
 
 
 
 
Next I placed a bit of habitat in the painting.  These were brought into the studio so they could be painted from "life".  I like to do this whenever because I can get a true feeling for the subtle details, colors, and values of the subject.  It's too bad the critters don't hold still for me!  :)
 
 
 
 
 
Adding more habitat and color to bring out more depth and richness to the painting, I am getting closer to the finish.
Nearly finished painting
 
 
Here is the beginning of a new painting - the ruffed grouse.
