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.

Starting in on sketches for the Red Wolf Project by Champions for Wildlife. Red wolves are the most endangered species in the U.S.; there are only 300 left in the wild. This is the 1st T-shirt design for fundraising. #redwolfproject #championsforwildlife #wolfsketch #catherinetwomey1

We got to Blue Ridge Daylilies early - around 8? - because the temp was going to climb. The daylily fields were in full bloom, with flowers of all shapes and colors. I spied a friend painting in the shade, which spoke to me. It was a battle between him and the rooster sculpture - so they both won out. Oil, 8 X 10”, available.

Had a fine, hot time painting in Marshall, NC with the Asheville Plein Air Painters. Marshall was devastated from Hurricane Helene, but there are hopeful signs of recovery. But how can they NOT have a permanent Post Office? Geez. Where's the $$$$, Don? Across from On Your Bike, I spotted this fine VFW mural & gave it a go. Complex, patriotic & optimistic it was. It's a WIP 8 X 10" oil.

Oil, 9 X 12”, Sold. Have a fabulous weekend.

Excited to be featured at The Dog & Pony Show Gallery at 68 N. Market St, Asheville, NC, along with fantastic pottery by Kathy Knapton. My two bird paintings can be found here:

It’s a work in progress but almost finished with “A Day With Daylilies.” I need to decide if I’m keeping the rooster sculpture, and work on some refinements in lilies and shadows. Oil, 8 X 10” on panel.

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.

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.

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.

“Resilient Ram” by Catherine Twomey has been selected as a winner in the VAA Art100 International Exhibition.

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.
