The Red Wolf Project: Sketch #1

Sketch #1, The Red Wolf Project. Almost finished, this image has been Foxgloved, so take that, AI. The first of three sketches for Champions for Wildlife, the "getting to know you" phase of learning about a new species. What magnificent animals! This will become a full color painting for a fundraising campaign. There are only about 300 red wolves left in the wild, and it breaks my heart.

A Golden Lipizzan

Sold! “For The Love Of Horses” has sold; this is a 12 X 12” acrylic and gold leaf on canvas. Seems I need to paint more horses; the itch is returning.

"Scarlet Tanager" Oil by C. Twomey

This 5 X 7” original oil, titled “Scarlet Tanager” will be offered soon! Framed in a custom 13 x 10.75 x 1.5 in antiqued copper and black frame, it is a tribute to native birds of the southeast U.S.

Flitting through the coastal forests and shrublands of North Carolina it is one of the region's most striking songbirds. With feathers as vivid as a sunrise, the Eastern painted bunting stands out brilliantly against the lush green backdrop of the southeastern United States. Often described as a "flying rainbow," the adult male sports an unmistakable plumage of electric blue, lime green, and fiery red, making it one of the most colorful birds in North America. However, despite its dazzling appearance, this species faces serious threats and is a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in North Carolina.

Studio Clearance Sale - July 2 - 7!

PLEASE NOTE: From July 1 until July 7, 2026 original paintings and prints are being offered at significant, studio-clearing prices through https://www.wescover.com/items?q=catherine%20twomey

"Ode To Killian" by C. Twomey

Killian’s Red was my first horse, and what a thoroughbred he was. I painted this portrait in 2007 to capture his vitality and sassiness. He was as green as I was, but we trained each other over the next 18 years. Flaxen mane and tail against a gleaming chestnut coat, he is greatly missed on this anniversary day. This is oil on canvas, and is sold.

"African Bull Elephant Walking" Now Released!

That moment when the only thing between you and a massive bull elephant is your ability not to move.

This original contemporary fresco is painted on Aquabord and requires no framing; it’s varnished and ready to hang.
