National Museum of Wildlife Art – Jackson Hole

This is the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  Carl Brenders was this year’s featured painter for the Fall Festival and gave a slide lecture during the event of his work, research, and history as an artist.  Since we were already going to be in the area, he insisted that we attend when we talked to him in Wausau (he didn’t have to insist too much to convince us to come ;) ).  A little bit of a refresher course of his workshop that we were a part of a few years ago.  Lots of fun! :D

Hiking Teton NP – Painting Research

This is a snapshot from a hike in the Tetons. ("Death Canyon", actually :shock: )

Lots of beautiful views like this one. :)  The fall colors were very vibrant.  I already have a few new paintings planned… ;)

Inspiration for Painting – Wildlife and Habitats

A little wildlife searching in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.  (Photo credits to my Dad for the top photo of the cow moose who was strangely interested in the area around the car. )

Fall Roundup Reception

This is a snapshot from the Fall Roundup reception today at Galleries West in Jackson Hole.  In the center of the top picture is Marilyn Peck (artist) chatting with Bill & Debbie Bunch (two of the gallery’s owners).

Cougar Painting Progress

This is the progress on my cougar painting.  The cat itself is about done, but the background has not been developed.  I will have to find the habitat to put in the background and beneath the cat during one of my hikes around the area. :)

Gallery Painting – Galleries West

Spent the day painting a few new pieces in Galleries West in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  The gallery recently remodeled and expanded their showroom.

Cougar in the Mountains – Jackson Hole

My family and I will be a part of the Jackson Fall Arts Festival – participating in our gallery’s events.  We will be painting in the showroom on Friday & Saturday (possibly on Thursday evening as well) for their "Fall Roundup" exhibition.  I will be painting this new cougar piece – this is the sketch for the painting.  The painting is a larger miniature – it will be around 16×22 when it is finished.

Miniature Art Society Exhibitons in Britain

This is one of my new pieces that will be in the RMS (Royal Miniature Society of Painters, Sculptors, & Gravers) exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London this fall.  Please see the Society’s website for information about attending the exhibit – royal-miniature-society.org.uk  The RMS is the oldest and most respected miniature art society in the world.

I had a number of paintings shown in the Hilliard Society of Miniaturists exhibition in Wells, Somerset as well a little earlier this year.  Also, thanks to the HS (and the book publisher :) ) for the invitation of inclusion in the next edition of the British publication, "Who’s Who in Art" Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist
