Artists Gone West

Go west...

On the road.  I decided not to paint in the car for this trip :).  I will be starting a new piece for my Jackson gallery soon -www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com- and will be posting the progress as I work.

Packing Up

I am packing for our trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming today as well as doing some painting.  I will be blogging from out west for a while. :)

A Little Paint

I am painting a little bit today.  I am also planning out a few new requested pieces — I’ll post their progress when I get the sketches together. :)

Brushing Up on a Miniature Painting

Miniature Cougar Watercolor Painting by Rebecca LathamI finished one of my miniature paintings today (this morning).  It was one of those pieces that I had set aside in the studio for a while so I could get a fresh look at it later (to see if there was anything else it needed). :)  

The miniature will be added to the collection of work I have currently on exhibit at Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming  -gallerieswestjacksonhole.com- .   I haven’t completed a miniature cougar painting for a while (or any cougars for that matter :? ), so this piece should add some variety to the group. :)  The piece is 5"x7".

Minnesota Views

Minnesota sunset sketch in ink by Rebecca LathamThere was a beautiful sunset tonight.  I made a little rough sketch of it in ink. :) (I would have taken a photo of it, but I didn’t have my camera with me. :( )

Coyote Painting Finished

I am looking forward to our next outing to Jackson Hole and our gallery out there. :)

My coyote painting "Morning Shadows" is now finished .  I’ll get a photo of the framed piece up here on the blog soon.  I will be working to finish up on a smaller, miniature piece for my gallery in Jackson -www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com- in the next few days as well. :)

Studio

I’ve been doing some studio rearranging today. :)

I will likely be working on another work in progress tonight.

Holiday Weekend

I hope everyone (at least those in the United States) is having a nice holiday weekend.  I am not taking time off —  but then, I get to do what I enjoy everyday. :)

I am working on some of my works in progress today.

Painting & Sketching…

Great egret - A quick rough sketch from Rebeccas sketchbookI decided to paint on one of my swan paintings that I have in progress — so I am doing my best to have that piece finished soon.

I have been sketching out a few ideas and subjects for new work — I’ve added one of them to this post.  This is a quick (rough) sketch (about 2"x3") of a great egret I studied a few years ago in Florida during one of our photoshoots in the state. :)

 

 

Onto the next project…

I just finished my Fox piece that I have been engrossed in for the past week or so.  I will be sending it off to my gallery later today.

Tonight I will have to decide what to work on for my next piece.  I’ll probably finish more work in progress vs. starting a new painting (at least for now :) ).
