The canvasback duck is considered to be the king of ducks to most duck hunters. As you can see, their regal disposition earns them this honor. Beautiful bird, gorgeous water – what a joy to paint!

The large-flowering trillium is my favorite flower. Light dances across the petals and leaves creating a captivating design that leads the viewer’s eye throughout.

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!

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….
