"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. It all ended well, but I could see how shaken the guide was and later admitted this was danger personified. Kruger National Park, South Africa while on safari. This original contemporary fresco is painted on Aquabord and requires no framing; it’s varnished and ready to hang.

Art Makes the World Go Round!
in abstraction, animal, gallery, gallery art, sketch
What a year! I remember talking to my sis in February; wondering if we were going to have to cancel a trip to Scotland due to some strange virus. Well, we did, like everyone else. In the meantime, however, we learned to live with it and I painted and sold more paintings than I ever have - along the way finding that I'm pretty much a contemporary Impressionist-type painter. That alone was worth it! Thanks to everyone for your support, your kindness and here's to hoping 2021 is a banner year in so many ways.

Commissioned for the cover of the "United States Dressage Federation" magazine Connections, it was inspired by "The Vitruvian Man" by Leaonardo da Vinci circa 1487. This could be considered the "Canon of Proportions" for the horse performing the dressage movement piaffe. It is based on the correlations of ideal horse proportions with geometry. It exemplifies the blend of art and science during the Renaissance.
