A New Artist - A New Influence

Okay, I know you were expecting some information on the thumbnail sketches I promised last time.  I did get some work done in that way.  I still haven't decided what to do with the owl, but in searching the internet for inspiration, I came across a new artist (to me anyway) that I have absolutely fallen in love with!

Now, obviously when I say I've "fallen in love with her", I mean her work - it's fabulous!  She's a watercolorist too and she works in what she calls "miniature painting".  I looked into it further and she doesn't paint small images, the term "miniature" refers to the detail in her paintings.

Her name is Rebecca Latham and here is her site:

She works with her family as well.  Her paintings are extraordinary!  I may just try to follow in her example - I didn't even know you could go to that level of detail in watercolour.  I am very excited  about how this will influence my own work.
