"Boat Dock 3" by Catherine Twomey, 6 X 6" oil
What a day for a daydream. Boat on dock; it's there every day.
Background:
Art is my life. From the first art project I can remember (making a Christmas Nativity scene in grade school that overshadowed the resident artist) art has always been what brings me the greatest satisfaction. Without art, I am not who I am.
I am now working full time as a fine artist, a dream that I've pursued for as long as I remember. Landscapes engage and challenge me, and I have a very soft spot for animals.
My artwork has been featured at the world renowned TED (Technology, Education and Design) conference (TED MED in San Diego, on huge high definition screens throughout the exhibition center). I recently won the nationally acclaimed ArtInPlace competition in Virginia which placed a 12' X 24' mural on aluminum of my work, now seen by thousands of commuters daily.
Two museums currently house my art: The William H. Benton Museum in Connecticut, and The LLoyd Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was a great honor to be asked to exhibit and I continue to add to their collections. Speaking of collections, my work is a part of hundreds of private collections worldwide.
As a passionate defender of Artist's Rights, I have traveled to Washington, DC to meet with Senators and members of Congress as they debated the Orphan Works law (an attempt to "orphan" copyrighted artwork by separating the creator from their work) which we defeated. In addition, as a member of the American Society of Illustrator's Partnership, I continue to work to secure reprographic royalty streams from the ongoing publication of artist's works.

I have studied with some of the greatest artistic and scientific minds in the world: fellow medical illustrators. Leonardo da Vinci is considered the first medical illustrator, and his knowledge, technical abilities and deep curiosity are benchmarks for the field.

Fine art influencers include Georgia O'Keefe, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt and Degas. I look to their struggles and triumphs, and their unflinching persistence.

"The Biltmore Boat House" on Auction, C. Twomey
The Painting
This original oil painting by Catherine Twomey was painted at the incredible Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, USA. It was painted en plein air (outside) on a windy day in early spring of 2017. When I look at it, I am taken back to the day when the greens were so bright and the light had such a sheen of early spring. It was painted alla prima, meaning "in one sitting" and is 8"H X 6"W, unframed.
The Boat House is located on the gorgeous Bass Pond at the Biltmore. I was drawn to it because of my previous studies of the art of Japan, with it's oriental flavor and lovely landscaping. Frederick Olmsted, the famous landscape architect who designed Central Park, also designed the stunning landscapes of the Biltmore. At the height of the Biltmore's operation as a private family residence (the Vanderbilts) in the late 1800s and early 1900s, guests would walk to the Boat House to enjoy the sunsets after a day of revelry.

Auction currently in progress at Daily Paintworks.
One of those unforgettable, golden days of fall in Vermont; or everywhere. At the end of the garden, in front of a field of grasses was a proud milk pod. It had just released it's seed treasure and the backdrop of the gorgeous trees was irresistible. It was a still, warm, sunny day and I was able to paint for hours to capture the details. There was a light mist over the distance mountains and the trees were at their peak. This is almost a still life combined with a landscape that serves as a document of time standing still.
Thank you for your interest!

I was in the Rochester, Vermont area in the fall of 2016, staying at my brother's house. We trekked cross country from Danville, CA and needed a respite. A respite it was, as I was able to paint outside in the peace and quiet, staring at this gorgeous view in the warmth of August and September. This oil is on archival linen board. It is 5 X 7", signed and varnished with care.

"A Mood of Good" Sold
in landscape
Painted this outside recently. The Vermont trees are starting to turn, with the reds first and some oranges starting to appear. It's just stunning.
Saw a grey fox down the road today, happily eating apples in the road. There's a steady rain today but it's not bringing me down - it's a day to stay inside (after the dog walk) and get things done.
Thank you to the collector from Germany for your purchase. Much appreciated!
