I’ve had some requests to post more of my sketches and works-in-progress on my blog…so here’s another painting that is sitting in the studio… ;)
This is a work-in-progress - a barn owl portrait that will debut at th Moosehorn Gallery in Montana. They are having a large event this summer and (...if everything goes well on this piece... ;) ) this will be one of my paintings in their summer show. :D

NatureWorks 2008, Galleries, & Wildlife Art…

NatureWorks Wildlife Art Show & Sale 2008 - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

First of all, I need to thank everyone that came to the NatureWorks show in Tulsa this past weekend - It was fabulous to meet all of you…and see familiar faces again! My family and I really appreciate your support for us and our work. We really love what we do and are so pleased to see that others enjoy our finished pieces and the wildlife that is so meaningful to us as well! :D Thanks for making the 2008 NatureWorks one of our best showings in Tulsa! :D We look forward to seeing everyone again next year! ( www.natureworks.org )

Also…. Some gallery news - For those who may not know, we are now represented full time in Texas by Whistle Pik Galleries ( www.whistlepik.com ). Their gallery is one of the most beautiful show places that I have seen and the people who run the gallery are superb.

Our gallery in Montana is expanding ( www.moosehorngallery.com ) - they will soon be opening another Moosehorn Gallery in Washington state. The Montana gallery will also be having a large event this summer that we will be attending in Big Sky with a new collection of artwork. …so we will be busy at our easels for a while. ;)

Lastly (..but definitely not least…) An article about our family, "A 24/7 Family Affair", is featured in this month’s issue of Wildlife Art Magazine. Thanks to Wildlife Art and our author, Fran Howard! ( www.wildlifeartmag.com )

Western Wildlife and Landscapes - Yellowston National Park & Gallitan National Forest

Today was spent focusing on the landscape and environment that will be featured in some of our new work.  We did come across quite a few animals while we were doing our research today as well.  Pronghorn, Elk, Bears, deer, bison, wolves, and a few other small mammals were out and about in the field.     ~~~~    A part of our excursion was to hike to see some of the wildflowers and habitats.  The wildflowers in the park are in full bloom right now.  Seeing meadows filled with these is a spectacular sight.  We came across so many varieties of flowers, including a mountain Iris -- I hadn't seen one of these in the wild before, so this was a treat. ;)     ~~~~    Unfortunately, the end of our studies was cut short by a severe hail storm that passed through Paradise Valley and a portion of Yellowstone.  Even with the weather disrupting our work, we were able to see some very inspiring scenes and wildlife during our outing.  :)

Mountains, Paintings, & Inspiration

Paradise Valley - Livingston, MontanaToday is the last day of our show here in Montana.  It has been so nice to meet everyone — thanks for visiting the show!!

I am just about finished with the new cougar painting that I started here a few days ago.  I will be putting the finishing touches on the painting back in the studio, but it shouldn’t take too long to have it completed.  :) Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist

Gallery Painting - Cougar Watercolor

The cougar painting has progressed a bit.  Most of the fur has now been painted in.  I should have the painting nearly complete by the end of our show here at the Moose Horn Gallery.  :)
