Paintings of Wildlife & Nature by Rebecca Latham
Today Galleries West hosted our artist reception at their Glenwood gallery. I’t really been a great week — a number of my paintings, even some large ones, have found new homes!
I will be taking a break from painting in the gallery (to prevent becoming a starving artist), and then return to paint in the gallery this evening. Hope to see you there!! :)
I have just about finished my horse and foal painting as you can see by the image posted left. It’s an 8×16 sized painting. I will be framing it up for our show reception tomorrow at Galleries West in Jackson Hole, WY :) (www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com).
I have been painting my coyote painting in the gallery today. It’s come along fairly well — I have been fine tuning some of the shapes of the boulders and such.
We met so many sweet people who dropped by the gallery today!! :) In Jackson, there are visitors from all over the globe, so you never know who you’ll meet! I don’t think we’ve ever had so much fun during one of our shows in town! (Actually, our new gallery can be blamed for that — Thanks guys!! You’re the best!! )
I painted quite a bit on my painting today. I’ll try to get another photo up on the blog a little later.
Today was an eventful day in Jackson. Later in the day the entire city lost power — even some of the cell phones went out for a while. Luckily, I did get a bit done on my painting before this happened! :) With no electric, it did make me (and everyone else) take a break for a while.
My family and I are in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for our show at Galleries West Fine Art. We scheduled to be painting in the gallery from 1-5pm every day during the exhibit. This is the first day of our "painting sessions". I just started a painting of wild horses this afternoon — a mother and foal walking through sage brush. It’s going well so far. :)
I’ve been painting a bit more than I often do — trying to get a few extra pieces finished :) (so I haven’t been getting a whole lot of sleep lately).
I am just about finished with my new bison painting. I have been working on the piece on the way to our show in Jackson, WY. :)
I am off on the road to our gallery in Jackson Hole again. :) I am hoping to complete my bison painting in time for the exhibition — I will be working on that piece tonight.
We just shipped out a few paintings for our exhibition at Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson, Wyoming (www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com). I am also working to finish a few other paintings for the show as well. :)
I am finishing up on this timberwolf painting right now. It is coming along so quickly! :)
I like the way the fur of the wolf has a feeling of thickness and layers of varied colors and thickness — I tried to capture that in this painting.
I think this moose painting I’ve been working on is just about finished. It is the largest watercolor painting I’ve ever painted — measuring almost 30×40 inches.
Tonight, at sunset, I saw an adult American Blad Eagle soaring over the river — it was so beautiful! (I also spotted a prairie chicken in the yard today! :))
