"Learning To Ride" - by C. Twomey • Sold
Painted in 1994, when I was, indeed learning to ride. This oil on panel paints from deep in my soul’s greatest fear - the rearing mount. All those letters? Dressage markers that I was attempting to understand and memorize. Somehow I learned to manage the fear, mainly out of self preservation because the horse could feel everything I was thinking. Have a terrific weekend.

“Sequenced”, 24” X 36” pigments, iridescents, metallics on aluminum panel, framed.
"Sequenced" Original Painting by Catherine Twomey On Offer
The luminous sky and mountains at over 6,000 feet can overwhelm. Couple that with the late spring blooms of the rhododendrons, and there is a sense of floating high above the clouds as the sun descends. I'm inspired by the mountains and sky, of course - but the flow of the pigments themselves is so freeing; so abstract. It's like it helps makes sense of all of the complex layers and diffuse light spreading through the clouds. Each layer is constructed
separately using pigments, tools, an airbrush and gravity. Although the end result appears realistic, on closer inspection it's made up of pours, ridges and glowing pigment. This 24" X 36" original painting will infuse your room settings with good taste and luminescence. It is framed in a lovely copper and black floating frame.
