"Tahquitz Canyon Waterfalls, Morning" Released!
A tranquil scene depicts a waterfall cascading between rocky cliffs into a serene pool, with sunlight illuminating the rocks and water. The interplay of soft colors creates a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. This is at the top of the Tahquitz Canyon at Aqua Caliente in Palm Springs. Painted plain air.
This is a contemporary fresco on Aquabord. It does not need glass framing; it is varnished.

The Glacial Experience
Painted along Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park, summer, 2024. It was 90 degrees, but the snow on the peaks still held up, shimmering in the sunlight. The glacial silt in the water made the most beautiful blues.

Just a second ago, this was how the lake looked. Early morning light, nature and design combined. Then up came the wind, the rain is coming, and it's stick season.

"Pumpkin Diaries: The Shadow Knows"
As fall descends, so too do the pumpkins. I teach horseback riding to autistic children on Saturdays. The farm grows a big patch of pumpkins that they sell at local markets, so I nabbed this extraordinarily lyrical one to paint. There was something so lovely about the interaction between the blues and oranges. This piece is unframed, 8 X 16" on archival Ray Mar panel, in oils. It marks the rapidly changing seasons on a Friday the 13th. So appropriate.

Catherine Twomey Contributes to a PAPA PBS Documentary
As a member of Preserving A Picturesque America (https://preservationthroughart.org/) yesterday I joined three other plein air painters at the Biltmore Estate on the Wisteria Terrace. As we painted we were filmed and then interviewed about our work and PAPA for an upcoming PBS Documentary. It was a most spectacular day, fortunately, and although I have almost no memory of what I said in the interview, I hope I did PAPA proud - I know they make me proud.
Painting, getting filmed and interviewed for a PBS documentary this morning at Biltmore. Four plein air painters for Preserving a Picturesque America hard at work.
Jeff the cameraman from LA, preparing to shoot with his 30# camera.
