Resting on the Ledge – Young Wolf, 6in x 8in watercolor on board with sterling silver I enjoyed watching this wolf on an overcast day as he played and explored. After a great deal of activity, he slowed down and curled up on a stone ledge to rest – a […] Read more »
Afternoon Swim – Mallard Duckling, 5″x7″, watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham With the weather shifting to spring, I was in the mood to paint some little ones I’ve visited with in previous years.
