American Plains Artists 2011 National Show

During one of our trips to an exhibition, we came across these beautiful horses…I immediately knew they would be a painting.  One of the delights in this piece was to be able to use such bold golden tones contrasted with the grass and distant cools in the vegetation behind them.  This isn’t my usual wild animals that I paint, but loved the variety.  Free Spirits, watercolor on board, 12in x 16in, ©Rebecca Latham

I was very pleased to receive notice that my watercolor paintings, Puppy Play and Free Spirits, will both be included in the the 2011 American Plains Artists National Exhibit.   The show will be held at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, Las Cruces, NM September 9 – October 30, 2011.  The Opening Reception is scheduled for Thursday, September 8, 6-8 p.m.

The exhibit is being shown online as well (So a preview is available currently). Works may be purchased through the APA website now, and through the museum during the exhibit’s display.  http://www.americanplainsartists.com/2011/2011exhibitpage1.htm
