…a quick post showing the detail of a work in progress – a pair of wolf puppies enjoying a shady spot.. 11in x 14in, watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham The painting is fairly far along already… I hope to have it completed soon.I’ve been a little less prolific in my work (or active online) than I’d like to be recently because of a number of rather serious family emergencies. Thankfully things seem to be returning to normal now. Thanks to those that sent notes of concern..

Being in the mood for painting a lot of fur, this is the beginnings of a 24in x 36in grizzly bear with the sepia watercolor under painting nearly in place. The rich glazes of browns in the painting are going to be very nice to put in I think. …quite a bit of work involved for this piece, being that I still put in the detail of my other miniature works in spite of this size, but I believe the effects will be worth all of the effort.

Sunday Sketches…
This is a scan from my 8.5×11 sketchbook. The page was a field sketch from an one of our outings in a natural preserve in Minnesota. It was a bit boggy on this trip. …was pleased to find some carnivorous plants.

This is a recently painted little fawn portrait. When working on the piece, I focused on rendering detail in the fur, yet retaining a softness throughout the piece. I also wanted to portray her cautious look at the viewer as she carefully stepped through the grass. Fawn Portrait, 7″x5″, watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham

This is a detail view of a new painting, 11in x 14in in sepia stage, of a Bull Bison that I was able to see in the Yellowstone area. I’ve surrounded him with sage, grasses, and the burned out log in the foreground to compliment his dark coat. Loving all of the textures involved in this piece. watercolor on board, ©Rebecca Latham

This is a new painting of blue irises in the beginning stage. Because of the delicacy of the hues and subtle areas of the petals, this was not started with sepia as I normally do. Instead, the under painting is worked in with ultramarine and a mixed soft green.I saw these flowers blooming during a visit to the gardens in the Minnesota Arboretum. They had such a beautiful display there, in an enormous variety of plants. Seeing them all together seemed dream like. I was drawn to painting this set of blossoms in part due to the evening light’s glow of so many varied blues in the petals and reflected light throughout.
