Classic Miniature Art - More than little pictures.
Rebecca Latham's watercolors are classically painted miniature paintings. Whether large or small, it's the classical methods of painting refined detail that give miniature paintings their allure.
Rebecca and her family, paint wildlife and nature for the most part. So when they aren't at their easels painting or attending one of their exhibits, there's a good chance that they're out and about researching what they love.
Rebecca Latham is an international realistic wildlife and nature painter and author working in finely detailed watercolors. Her works range all sizes - all painted in miniature. Represented by Latham Studios. More»
One of my new paintings, “Translucence”, was chosen to show in ”Watercolor 2010″, an exhibition at the Springfield Art Museum in Missouri. I was just notified that the painting was selected for a purchase award. I’m delighted to be a part of their show and honored to be an award recipient. Many thanks to all involved!
Translucence is a 5×7 traditional miniature painting, opaque and transparent watercolor on board.
In the evening during our last visit (last spring), there was a group of plein aire oil painters setting up to work. Some of them had half of the gardens painted on their canvases by the time I was leaving the grounds. It would have been quite an experience to have joined them.
This is another one of my floral pieces that were just completed – a waterlily from sunken aquatic garden at the conservatory in Saint Paul that I visit occasionally. This was a very fun piece to paint. The cupped shaped petals, glowing pink in the depths of the blossom from the sun streaming down, and intense golden center…all set off by accents of blue reflected from the clear sky. Simply beautiful. …and had to be painted.
The painting is 5×7, watercolor on board (and painted in miniature of course).
This is one of a collection of flower paintings that were just completed. This piece was inspired from a visit to the while their iris gardens were in full bloom last spring. They were just beautiful (not to mention their poppies! …but that will have to be another painting… ). I had never seen so many varieties in one place – it was fantastic!
This painting is 5×7, “Garden Pearl” – watercolor on board.
The Latham Studios Catalog, published earlier this year, is now available to view online. The images in it are available as giclee prints (larger ones on canvas, smaller ones on board). …and of course they are also available for licensing.
This is a new painting (currently on my easel) that is nearly completed. A white and yellow iris from my garden (watercolor on board, ‘in miniature’, as always ). I had the chance to visit the Minnesota Arboretum to see their extensive collection in full display earlier this year. …truly spectacular! Every variety and color imaginable…and glowing in the evening sun. ( …so of course I have more paintings planned. )
This piece is currently available. Please drop a note if you are interested in adding the original or a reproduction to your collection…
