Artist & Painter Rebecca Latham’s Nature & Wildlife Art

This is a graphite sketch/drawing for a new miniature painting I will be starting soon.   It is a Queen butterfly.  The species is similar to a monarch, but a darker russet color and not as defined with black markings.  I will be sketching out an arrangement of flowers and a background to add to it as well.

 This is a little wolf puppy sketch that I am painting.  He was very cute .  He became very interested in eating the log (and then spitting out the not-so-tasty pieces of wood) while I was studying and photographing him.    The painting is about 8×10.

This is a photo of the barred owl painting that I finished recently - a portrait.  The painting, of course, is watercolor and is 8×10.  The sketch for this piece was posted here.

This is a new miniature painting I’m working on right now - an adult wolf. The photo you see is the sketch for the watercolor (a U.S. quarter for scale). As you can probably tell, this painting is a 1/6th scale traditional miniature piece.

I have had the urge to paint some of these little paintings lately for fun. I can usually finish one of these in a day or two (if I concentrate on them exclusively). The painting is coming along well and should be completed soon.

This is one of the new smaller/miniature paintings that I am working on - a little sunlit fawn.  This is the initial sketch that I made for the painting.  I plan to keep the background simple and have a little grass in the foreground. 

Almost all of the paintings I am working on right now are spring related.  :sigh:    Only a few more months to go for spring flowers.  

 I just started another couple of new pieces.  I think I will be able to post some sketches of some of the paintings I’ve been working on a little later this evening. 

 

 Here it is.  :)  This is the watercolor painting of the sketch in the last post, a timberwolf.  The painting is 9×12.  This piece came together pretty well, I think.  This painting is a study for another larger piece that I will be starting soon. 

I have a number of other wildlife paintings around this size that I’m just about finished with.  :)  I’ll post some of them soon. 

 

 This is a sketch for one of my newest miniature paintings.  This is a 9×12 timberwolf.  I have the watercolor painting nearly finished, so…..
