Paintings of Wildlife & Nature by Rebecca Latham
I just finished this new miniature piece of a young gray wolf. It’s taken me about 2 to 2-1/2 days to finish the painting. The painting will be available for purchase through our gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming — Galleries West Fine Art (www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com).
I just sent off artwork to the Arts for the Parks exhibit in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (www.artsfortheparks.com). It’s a slightly different subject for me. I really enjoyed painting the foliage around the bird. :)
I just finished this new hummingbird and Indian Paintbrush painting. I am finishing up on a number of new pieces to give some of my galleries a new selection — this one will go to Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson Hole, WY (www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com). Stop in if you’re in the area.
I saw this hummingbird earlier this year while we were studying in Arizona. I thought it would look stunning next to an Indian Paintbrush blossom.
I am starting a new red fox painting today (a requested piece) for one of our galleries in the East. I will post a photo of it soon.
I’ve been busy painting as usual. :) I will be getting some more images of paintings online soon! ;)
Thanks to everyone at Art Barbarians Wildlife Gallery in Rogers, MN (www.artbarbarians.com) for their hard work putting together the annual cruise on the Saint Croix River.
I painted a new 8×10 "quick draw" piece of a Barred Owl from scratch during the 3 hr. cruise (pictured right). The gallery plans to have an auction or raffle for the painting. Please contact them if you’re interested in participating!
I am just about finished with my large 24×36 swan painting. It certainly feels like quite an accomplishment when a large painting is finished. I can often finish miniature paintings in a day or two, but a very large piece will take at least a week to finish, maybe longer — more background in a piece will take longer to paint as well. Now that this larger piece is complete, I can begin working on paintings that have been requested by other galleries. Some of these pieces are specific subjects, some are requested by size, and others have no preference — just more work. :) It is so encouraging to have such interest for new paintings — I know that not all artists have this luxury. I am very thankful to have so much support. One new gallery in particular has requested a new collection of a large number of traditional miniature paintings for an exhibition they’re planning — some from each of my family members. After painting so many larger paintings, some smaller studies & miniatures sound delightful. :) I think any artist’s primary goal in painting is to make an impact with their work. I value the buying public’s opinion primarily, being that I make my living on my artwork, but I also believe there is merit in the opinion of those in the field of art. I (and my family — Karen & Bonnie were also included in this review) was very flattered recently to be reviewed as a "master of miniature painting". Thanks!! :)
We’ve just changed our blogs/Studio Journals to a more traditional layout. Hope you like the new look and features as much as I do!
I just finished a new painting of a great egret preening titled "White Light – Great Egret" (cropped/detail of the actual patinting). We saw him during one of our shoots in the Florida Everglades. I haven’t painted too many shore birds or egrets, but I have a new gallery (Artiques Gallery in Maryland) that has requested some of them. The gallery will be having their grand opening on Sunday.

I just added a few new paintings to my work in progress page. There is still a stack of smaller paintings that I need to add to that page, but at least the larger paintings are online now. Enjoy!!
