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!

Now I have darkened overall and added a bit of warm tones and the beginnings of water detail. At this stage, the lights are muted but will be brought out again as the painting progresses and the detail is further developed. The little swimming turtle has been lost for the moment. (I promise to bring him back!)

Things really begin to take shape now. Staying only with a limited color palette, the painting takes on a more 3-dimensional quality. Many things still have to be addressed, but continued postings will show progress in that direction as well.
Hope you can stick with me on this one!

The beginnings of some dark sepia tones being brought out to show dimension.

Here is the beginning of a new turtle painting, approximately 8 x 3 1/2 inches. It is designed using one of our photo references that Rebecca used for her very well received "Turtle Jam" painting. This one will require 20 turtles though. (Can you find them all?
)
The foreground water will be much more developed in the painting.
Keep watching…..I plan to have this one done in a couple of months, hopefully much sooner!
Thanks for stopping by….

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. -

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!!

A 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.

Here is the finished Ruffed Grouse commission. I have painted quite a few of these in the last 2 years. This one went to Decoys and Wildlife Gallery in Frenchtown, New Jersey (near New York City). It is the last of 4 paintings for the office of a client. It’s a GREAT feeling to be finally done!!
