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.
landscape
Some of the most striking views of the Blue Ridge are the long vistas like this. I was taken by the light hitting the rocks at sunset, as the shadows began to creep in. This is an original Contemporary Fresco on Aquabord and is framed in a perfectly suited chestnut frame, deep with color and texture. This ready to hang piece is 14.5” W X 11.5” H.Available here: https://www.catherinetwomey.com/new-products/valley-view-tgeth

"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.
"Crystal Blue" Abstraction by C. Twomey
Abstraction with a hint of nature. This is a 9 X 12" custom burlwood framed abstract painted in sky blues, earth browns, black, cream, yellow with charcoal. It is varnished and UV protected. A Catherine Twomey original, highly coveted and ready to enhance your living space with hand crafted excellence and attention to your style.

"Beaver Lake, Early Morning" - Sold Adventure
Sold! I thought this piece was stolen. Honestly, it wasn’t where it was supposed to be in one of my galleries. It’s one of my favorite pieces, a plein air from Beaver Lake in Asheville. Well, the gallery had put it in their front window, didn’t let me know, someone spied it and bought it yesterday. I only found out where it had been placed when it sold. Glad it worked out but oh, oh, the angst. Thanks for the support.

“Many Glaciers Mid Afternoon” - watercolor, 10 X 14” on Arches Archival paper
Glacier National Park Paintings by Catherine Twomey
I just returned from a couple of weeks visit to Glacier National Park in Montana. It was a bucket-list trip, and so worth the effort. Daily hikes and painting sessions made the trip memorable. Only ran into one grizzly bear (one is enough….) and saw lots of mountain goats. This painting was from the front of Many Glacier Lodge, where lots of glaciers still exist and are so beautifully clean and reflective.

“Point Reyes Estuary
I sat above the ocean for about three hours, after having hiked from the last road towards the tip of Tomales Trail. While sitting here painting, a coyote slid by, his eye on me the entire time. I could hear the waves lapping against the shore as the tide came in. The pattern of the cliffs was of particular interest and beauty”
