A Grizzly on the ridge. This was awarded The Wildlife Art Society International best painting award. It is about 3 x 6 inches and competed against much larger works.

Captivated by something just out of our line of vision, this lynx kitten was a wonderful subject! Portraying a sense of innocence as well as 3 dimensional light and value (that feeling as if you could reach out and touch him that we all strive for) was a real challenge.

Young raccoon

A young wolf pup is an irresistible subject. Full of non-stop energy, they explore their world with excitement, missing nothing of their surroundings. Something catching his eye, he stops for a brief moment to check it out with a glance in it’s direction.

Lots of changes made this time.  Next will be the final details on each turtle and tweaks throughout the painting.

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!

Today I’m trying to finish up a number of miniature paintngs (about 2" x 3"). We are sending them off in about a week for a holiday gallery show. We are also finishing up plans for our own annual holiday show in December. More about that later.

It looks like we’ll be doing miniatures for a very long time. We have such a great response and demand for them as well as our larger paintings. It’s hard to keep up, but that’s a good problem to have as an artist!

Such a busy week!!  We sent off our first paintings exhibited with TWASI near London, England.  They have been great to work with and so nice to make it possible for us to be included in this exhibition.
