I am once again so grateful to the folks who purchase "Da Vinci Horse, The Piaffe Revealed", this time from Plymouth, CA; Rehoboth, MA; Charlottesville, VA. It means a great deal to me & thanks from the bottom of my new Ariat riding boots (the old ones lasted 30 years....).

"Learning To Ride" - by C. Twomey • Sold
Painted in 1994, when I was, indeed learning to ride. This oil on panel paints from deep in my soul’s greatest fear - the rearing mount. All those letters? Dressage markers that I was attempting to understand and memorize. Somehow I learned to manage the fear, mainly out of self preservation because the horse could feel everything I was thinking. Have a terrific weekend.
"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.
"Lusitano Gallop" Now Available As A Print
The original painting has been sold, but this work is now available as a print. Please check it out here:
"Lusitano Gallop" by Catherine Twomey Now On Offer!
This work is a combination of love for the horse and visualizing the energy within. Such a powerful, glorious, free creature! A full gallop is a sight to behold - and the exciting thing about this one is the sense of relaxation, of moving into the gait with confidence and strength. This Lusitano stallion signifies freedom - from the self-carriage in the neck and head to the graceful curvatures of the hind end. This original oil is on archival Arches oil paper and is unframed. To purchase: https://www.catherinetwomey.com/available/lusitano-gallop-10

I've finished an accounting of what I sold at the Kenilworth Artists Association Open Studio Tour - and I am so thankful for the support and interest! 31 pieces sold, some that I've had in the studio for over a decade, but that I always liked and that now have good homes! Thank you very much and I hope to really see you next year, when COVID is hopefully just a bad memory. Alright, back to replenishing the inventory.
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.
