Visions: AAPL – “Stillness in Amber Light – Great Blue Heron”

Rebecca Latham’s painting “Stillness in Amber Light – Great Blue Heron” has also been selected to show with the American Artists Professional League in 2026 Visions: AAPL at the Carriage Barn in New Canaan, Connecticut. This national exhibition celebrates skilled, expressive fine art, making it a meaningful setting for Rebecca’s quiet, nature-centered work.

In “Stillness in Amber Light – Great Blue Heron,” Rebecca captures a moment of complete calm: a heron poised in warm, low light, held between motion and rest. The soft amber glow, reflected in water and feather, invites the viewer to slow down and breathe with the scene, noticing the subtle textures and gentle shifts of color that define her realism. It’s a piece that feels both intimate and expansive, echoing the hush of early or late light along the water’s edge.

Like the rest of the exhibition, this work can be enjoyed from anywhere. 2026 Visions: AAPL at the Carriage Barn will be viewable online from April 19 to May 8, 2026 on the American Artists Professional League website at AAPLinc.org, where “Stillness in Amber Light – Great Blue Heron” will appear alongside “Enchanted Dawn – Yellowthroat Warbler” and other works by professional artists.

For followers of Rebecca’s art, this is a lovely opportunity to see how these two paintings—each centered on a quiet, reflective moment in nature—speak to one another within a broader exhibition dedicated to excellence in fine art.
