Latham Studios has been signed by Hadley House!  Earlier this year we were approached by the company and now things have been finalized.  We are excited to be able to share our images with an even larger audience!

Nearly finished - Snow Leopard

Karen Latham's new snow leopard painting in progress.
The snow leopard painting has come a long way since last post.  It is nearing completion.  I have a number of little putsy things to work on but will be done soon.  I really love the way the light and shadows play on the rocks and the fur of the cat.

Snow Leopard Update

Here is the Snow Leopard in progress (finally!!).  Still lots to do with it, but I like the play of light in it thus far.  I still have a few bugs to work out in the composition, but I mainly will now progress to adding more textures and color — and maybe a little more "eye candy", the fun stuff!!  Keep watching!!

New Painting in Large Format

emoticonA new beginning……….

It’s always fun to start a new painting, but this one is especially exciting! Not only do I get to paint BIG, but I also get to paint one of my favorite subjects - the Snow Leopard!! I already have a good start on it, so I will post a picture soon of the progress thus far.emoticon

Ringneck Pheasant

Ringneck-Pheasant-KL.jpg One of my larger commissions, this ringneck pheasant was completed as a 24" x 36" painting.  It was a challenge, both with a complexly patterned bird and a detailed background.  I enjoyed painting it, but was happy to be finished!!emoticon

Arts for the Parks Award

I was honored this week to receive the People’s Choice Award (Bronze medallion) at the 2005 Arts for the Parks exhibition in Yellowstone National Park, WY.  To have your fellow artists and art patrons select your work for this award is unbelievably gratifying.  Thanks so much to all who made it possible!

Busy, Busy…..

Just taking a break from a very busy schedule to finally write an entry.  We have an unbelievable number of paintings to complete in a very short period of time for our next 2 shows and some commissions.  It’s a good thing we like what we do!!emoticon 

I am finishing up a large swan painting to be shipped Monday.  Hopefully I will get time to post it later.  It is a commission from the NY city area.

We have completed so many new pieces, we haven’t had much time this summer to put them on the website, so please be patient…they will eventually show up!
