Water’s Edge – Cinnamon Teal, 8in x 10in watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham This piece just arrived in Texas at Whistle Pik Galleries. I noticed I hadn’t painted a lot of ducks recently, which was unfortunate. They are beautiful and always have a good bit of personality that shows through […] Read more »
Many of my paintings featuring botanicals are inspired by my visits to the Minnesota Arboretum. It is a very large location with ever-changing gardens of flowerscapes that are simply stunning. I have mentioned the location before, in post descriptions of some of my floral subjects, but I felt that having […] Read more »
Fox Painting – Detail View, watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham Why do you paint like a maniac? I occasionally get questions like this. Why? Why do you paint like a maniac? Why put in so much detail? and so on. Sometimes this comes from other artists. Sometimes from the general […] Read more »
