The Confidence To Admit Mistakes

Ah, painting challenges. I painted the framed piece on site maybe 9 years ago. I was dissatisfied with it, & it never sold. I finally listened to my gut: the mill wheel was overly charming, busy and saccharine - it has to go. It's the waterfall I loved; so back to some surgical work to bring it all alive. You never, never know enough.

Works In Progress

Recent outings in North Carolina, from ponds to the Arboretum to the Blue Ridge. These are all Works In Progress - but I love the immediate reaction and freshness.

"Azalea Riverbank" by C. Twomey

Work In Progress, this was painted live, plein air at the Azalea Festival at the North Carolina Arboretum. A glorious, luscious and sneezy day painting with friends. A little bit more work to do before release.

VAA Art100 International Award Winner by C. Twomey

Part of the "Tar Heel" Exhibition at the Upmarket Gallery in Asheville, through June 2025. Reflective of the strength and resiliency of Asheville following Hurricane Helene in September, 2025.

The ram symbol is associated with a multitude of meanings, often representing strength, courage, and vitality. It's also linked to leadership, determination, and even fertility. The ram's horns, in particular, are often seen as a symbol of power and aggression.
