Paintings of Wildlife & Nature by Rebecca Latham
I began working on four brand new pieces today. The first three are requested works of several waterfowl species. The fourth is a portrait of a Barred Owl. All of the paintings are miniatures/small works — about 8×10 to 9×12.
I will post photos of all of the paintings a little later into the color phase. :)
My 20×30 painting has come along fairly well since the 1st (of October). The piece is of a canada goose — one of the geese that posed so well for me during one of my photoshoots in Jackson Hole last month. I am going to set the piece aside for a short while — maybe I’ll start a new piece….

I started working in my new studio today! I really like the new setup! It is finished for the most part. A few minor adjustments are still in progress (one of my pieces of artist’s furniture still needs to be moved in, for example :) ). I’ll post a photo of my new studio a little later when everything’s in place. :)
I started working (sketching) on a 20×30 requested piece today (photo to come…). :)
My studio is almost in place. I should be painting again in the next few days or so. :)
I’m moving out.
Ok, I’m not really moving "out". I, and all of the other artists in my family, have been working underground, in our basement art studio, for a few years now. It’s tough to make inspirational wildlife and nature paintings when you can’t even see the outdoors. So, we decided to change that. We will also be getting some more space to work as well.
Yippee!!! ;)
My apologies — I have been/will be posting irregularly until I’m finished with my new studio. Thanks for visiting!!!! :) I’ll be back up and running shortly!!
We attended a Ducks Unlimited chapter’s banquet tonight. My Mom, Karen, is "Artist of the Year" Sponsor Print Artist for Minnesota’s Ducks Unlimited (as you may already know). The chapter often has the state’s Artist of the Year attend to sign prints, frames, etc. for the sponsor members.
I will likely be here next year as I will be the MN DU Artist of the Year for 2006. :)
Thanks for having us!! :)
We left for Minnesota today after a stop in Jackson to repair the damage to our vehicle. It took a little longer than we were hoping, but we’ll get home ok. It is sort of cold, rainy, and miserable outside today, so we opted out of any photography.
I had been planning to paint some plein air pieces while I was here, but I was so involved in gathering references for my studio work that I left them out. Oh well. Maybe I’ll be able to get some done the next time I come out.
This morning our means of transportation had some technical difficulties …and, well…. I’ll just say I won’t be using it to go anywhere today. (everyone is fine, but glass did fly!)
So… I (we :) ) are going to be hiking right here for some new references!! This slight change of plans will be ok. The fall colors here are almost at peak, so we should see some great things!!!!
Today we spent the day driving to a few locations to hike around and photograph some habitat.
I think we found some very nice habitat reference!! :)
Here’s an ink sketch of Mt. Moran I made last night from the porch (where we’re staying). It’s a little smudged — the cleaning crew apparently found it interesting.
