Fragment from a larger watercolor work in progress, two enormous cumulonimbus fill the horizon. Pigment on Kilimanjaro #140 paper. Finally well enough to paint again; thank goodness for antibiotics. #watercolorpainting #wip #Workinprogress #catherinetwomey1 #cloudscape #pigmentonpaper #cumulonimbus

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.

"Forest Deer Soul" is a 9 X 12" framed oil from a skull I recently acquired. Such a mystery behind every creature I paint. Available soon at Woolworth Walk in Asheville.

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.

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.

“Many Glaciers Lake”, 8 X 10” on Crescent board, archival.

WIP of the secret forest. The intriguing thing about the distant light is that’s a wall of falling water that feeds the creek. Where bears roam. 18 x 24” oil on linen panel.
