This is a new miniature painting I am working on. I am also in process of finishing an existing rabbit piece that I started some time ago – a photo of that will be posted shortly

30MarGalleries, Exhibitions & Shows, Inspiration, Research Study, & Field Trips, Miscellaneous 1 Comment |
My family and I recently agreed to be represented by a new gallery in "Paradise Valley" Livingston, Montana, opening in May. Some additional plans are being finalized for this summer. It is such a beautiful area for an artist to gather inspiration for painting! Of course, my family and I will be showing work at our gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming – Galleries West Fine Art as well. The Jackson Hole gallery is hosting an exhibition for our family June 24th – July 1st, with an artist reception on June 30th. We are planning to do a little painting in the gallery during the exhibition also.
Jackson Hole has been such an inspiration for my work in recent years. With mountainous habitats and wildlife so abundant, I find it impossible to refrain from painting during my trips in the area.
I am really looking forward to visiting again.Visit the lathamstudios.com exhibit schedule page for up-to-date information. Drop in and visit one of our shows/exhibitions if you’re in the area!!

I recently finished a commission of a number of ducks (waterfowl). I really enjoyed painting these birds and the habitats. The models for these paintings were simply beautiful, though the weather decided not to co-operate during our studies (in the rain). Each bird seemed to have it’s own personality, so a part of my goal in each piece was to capture the essence of each bird.

I love paintings of squirrels, or at least the paintings that capture the playful personality of the animal. So often the scene is filled with soft neutrals and rich earthtones — a very interesting to paint!
This is a small piece I am painting by request.

This is a picture of one of my new miniature paintings – a bull moose from Wyoming. I am very pleased wit the way it is turning out. I will post a better photo of it when the painting is a little farther along.

Here in Minnesota, "spring" takes a little bit to get here.
The bitter cold is gone, but (unfortunately) we tend to have mounds of snow this time of year. Sooo… I thought a nice spring wildflower picture might help those of us who are buried under a foot of snow think of the warmer days that are coming. I am very eager for the warm weather to arrive. I love being able to get out and experience what I am painting on the canvas. The time I spend out and about is very appreciated after all of the long hours of studio painting.
I am planning to do some research in several wilderness areas in the U.S. this spring/summer that I will be using for some of my new paintings. I am also tentatively planning to do some plein air painting during that time as well. I have been wanting to do some ‘actual’ painting in the field to capture the essence of the area more accurately in my work.
