Latham Studios Spring Show - Saint Croix Valley Carpenter Nature Center

This past weekend my family and I held our annual spring wildlife art show at the Saint Croix Carpenter Nature Center.  Our art shows are held in the spring and fall at the nature center's Trailside Lodge or Visitor Center (this show was in the Visitor's Center).  This year the University of Minnesota' Raptor Center  held their spring raptor release at the nature center also - releasing a rehabilitated American bald eagle, a broadwing hawk, and two red-tail hawks back to the wild on Saturday.

Landscape in Miniature - Progress

Rebecca Latham's miniature landsacpe painting work-in-progress. ~~ This is a recent image of my miniature landscape painting that I am working on.  It still has some more details and textures to be added to it, but the in-progress picture should give you an idea of how the miniature landscape is coming out.

Hike Grand Teton National Park & A Little Painting

Wild Lupine wildflower from the National ParkA wildflower hike started off the morning for me today — of course, it wasn’t exclusively wildflowers. ;) I was followed for part of my research trek by a little resident red squirrel. He wasn’t too thrilled that I stopped to study some flowers near his tree and voiced his opinion of it. I thought it was a wonderful to see this little creature defending his territory, even though I get to see red squirrels in my own backyard. :)

Yellow Columbine from the National Park

Today I am finishing a number of paintings for our show at Galleries West out here in Jackson Hole. I am a bit anxious to get to Jackson Hole, anticipation for the show I suppose. :)  Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist

Wildflowers & Mountain Habitats-Grand Teton National Park

I am doing quite a bit of painting out here in the Grand Teton National Park, but I did find the time to peel myself away from the easel a few times to walk around a bit in the park. There is always a lot to see on hikes in this area.  I spotted a Townsend warbler pair along a trail in the park today while doing a little research. :D

Sketching Grand Teton National Park & Thunderstorms

Doing a little sketching today. :)  I have some ideas for some new paintings and am just getting them drawn out in pencil.  It has been thunderstorming on and off all day today, as weather often is in the mountains, so it has been nice to do a little work inside.
