74th Miniature Painters Sculptors & Gravers Exhibit - Washington, DC

I just received notice that this painting, "Calm - Great Egret" (watercolor on Ivorine), was awarded ‘Second in Show’, the ‘Manny Sullivan Award for Excellence’, at the 74th Miniature Painters Sculptors & Gravers Exhibit of Washington, DC (the oldest miniature art society in America - http://www.mpsgs.org/).  I am honored to have received this award for the second year in a row. 

My watercolors "Polar Ambiance" and "Timberwolf" were chosen for first place in ‘Watermedia’ and first place in ‘Birds and Animals’ respectively.  I am very honored to have my work chosen for these awards this year.  Many thanks to the judge, Carol Lee Thompson, and those of the administration of the MPSGS.

The exhibit of 699 miniature works of art will run  Nov. 19 - Dec. 29, 2007 at the Strathmore Mansion (in North Bethesda, MD).  This year’s exhibition represents artists from 38 US states and 12 foreign countries.

My sister, Bonnie, was able to put a miniature painting in the exhibit this year also - her work was awarded as well.

Polar Bear Miniature Painting

This is another painting that I am working on…still in progress…a Polar Bear. It’s a smaller miniature (…as you can see by the coin ;) ).

I was really intrigued by the light and ambient feeling when I saw the subject and tried to bring that out in the painting. Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist
