Daylily Farm Paint Out: A Lovely, Hot Day

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.

Marshall, NC Plein Air! A Town In Recovery.

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.

The Confidence To Admit Mistakes

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.

"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.
