A Little Farm Scene…

Miniature watercolor painting of a farm scene by Rebecca LathamI have been painting on my little watercolor farm scene today — I think the miniature is just about finished.  It’s 1-1/2 x 2-3/4 inches and will show at Miller Galleries "Objects of Desire" opening in on the 18th of November.  I am really looking forward to seeing the gallery.  :)

As you may already know, I don’t paint buildings such as this too often anymore (especially if the painting doesn’t feature any wildlife), but it has been interesting painting all of the different textures in this piece. :)  A number of years ago, I painted all types of subjects – large impressionistic (and realistic) garden florals, portraits, interior scenes, buildings, landscapes, abstracts, etc. – pretty much everything  (most of them were awarded in competitions as well).  As interesting as it was to paint so many different subjects, I like being a little more focused. :)
