This is another new piece I have sitting in my studio right now. You may notice the dark strokes look a bit different on this piece than some of the other sketches I have on the blog. That is because for this piece I did some "redrawing" in paint – you could think of it as sketching with a brush instead of a pencil. I am working on this piece in it’s color phase at the moment.

This is a second sketch for my commissioned beaver painting. I combined both of the sketches together for the painting – so there are two beavers in the painting. I’ll be posting the actual painting a little later.

There has been some interest in my wolf sketches on the blog – requesting a few more posts featuring them. This sketch is the rough for a new painting I will be starting on soon.

As I posted earlier, I have been primarily working on the stack of commissions I have in my studio right now. This is one of the rough sketches for my beaver commission. I have been painting on this piece for the last couple of days.
I really liked studying this animal. He walked slowly, as you would expect a beaver to behave, but could also jump or run at any moment and be very energetic. It made watching him almost comical.
With the beautiful fall colored leaves on the ground complementing him, I think the painting is going to turn out very well.

I finished a few paintings recently that never made it into the blog, unfortunately. Sometimes those deadlines……
This (pictured) is one of my new paintings I’ve just started to sketch out. I have a number of these half-done and just-started pieces sitting around my studio at the moment.
Most of them are being painted for a number of my upcoming shows (both confirmed and unconfirmed).
Keep an eye on the Lathamstudios.com exhibits page for times and locations – It is updated as new details are confirmed.

I have just returned to my studio from our recent exhibition in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The show went very well. It was great to see everyone again!
A few new things have popped up, so I will be posting about those a little later. I am starting on some requested artwork right now. More photos to come…
