Sooo&#8230;  I thought a nice spring wildflower picture might help those of us who are buried under a foot of snow think of the warmer days that are coming.  :)<\/p>\n<p>I am very eager for the warm weather to arrive.  I love being able to get out and experience what I am painting on the canvas.  The time I spend out and about is very appreciated after all of the long hours of studio painting. <\/p>\n<p>I am planning to do some research in several wilderness areas in the U.S. this spring\/summer that I will be using for some of my new paintings.   I am also tentatively planning to do some plein air painting during that time as well.  I have been wanting to do some &#8216;actual&#8217; painting in the field to capture the essence of the area more accurately in my work. :) <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"26\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"17\" border=\"0\" title=\"Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist\" style=\"width: 26px; height: 17px;\" alt=\"Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lathamstudios.com\/rebeccasblog\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/RL.gif?resize=26%2C17\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"51\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"39\" border=\"0\" title=\"Latham Studios | Wildlife Art\" style=\"width: 51px; height: 39px;\" alt=\"Latham Studios | Wildlife Art\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lathamstudios.com\/rebeccasblog\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/SkunkClip_1.gif?resize=51%2C39\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a title=\"Seven Seek Directory\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/dir\/504.php\" rel=\"nofollow\">Seven Seek Directory<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here in Minnesota, &quot;spring&quot; takes a little bit to get here. :) The bitter cold is gone, but (unfortunately) we tend to have mounds of snow this time of year.
