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!
Vermont Back Forty; Oil by C. Twomey
Visit dailypaintworks.com to place a bid for this original art at a very affordable price.
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.

"Commissioned for the cover of the "United States Dressage Federation" magazine Connections, it was inspired by "The Vitruvian Man" by Leaonardo da Vinci circa 1487. This could be considered the "Canon of Proportions" for the horse performing the dressage movement piaffe. It is based on the correlations of ideal horse proportions with geometry. It exemplifies the blend of art and science during the Renaissance.

Moxie in the Maples, Vermont
That's my wonderful, spoiled dog Moxie in the lower left, galavanting through the turning maple leaves in Rochester, Vermont. Thinking of doing a painting of this, as I like how the shadows and slope appear. Every day brings a new round of color and peace.
"A Mood of Good" Sold
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!
From California to Vermont
Two dogs, two humans.
Made it driving across the country this summer. It was time to leave California for the green, less crowded spaces of Vermont. I hope to find a final destination in the next month. It will be a relief to settle down again.
There's been some time to paint plein air. Here is a piece I let loose on last week. The trees are more than beginning to get a touch of fall, and move a little closer to their leaf departure daily. This is oil on linen, 8 X 10", of the "Vermont Back Forty."

Still Living Momentarily
Just posted this image up for sale in my Shop. Maybe a play on words & images, but it is a time for reflection.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted and loved horses. There was no family equine history; no ponies for birthdays - just an intense desire to learn and love them. My mom would always tell people she had no idea where I came up with the addiction. My dad would tell me I could get a horse when we quit paying taxes (!).
Many people think that those who have horses are wealthy. In some quarters, this may be true, but most horse people I've known over the last 30 years put all of their hard-earned time, love, energy and money into their equine passion. I've been one of those people. It hasn't been easy as I started later than most and had to learn thru thick or thin.
Over the years I've been lucky enough to own three horses and lease one. They were all wonderful, each with their own strengths and personality who never stopped giving no matter what I asked.
I am now horseless, in a new albeit very horsey state. I thought I would immediately pick up where I had left off with those magnificent animals. Odd thing, though, is: the thrill seems to be gone.
It's a hell of a sport. It's dangerous, expensive, time consuming and for the young. I have known two people who've been killed, two who were paralyzed from the neck down and countless friends that have been kicked, bitten, stomped on, run away with and so on
At the same time, I've gained confidence, extraordinary balance, soft & kind hands, good horsey friends and the intense unconditional love only an animal can give a human.
It feels like time for a break. Or possibly a recognition that how I felt once can change; or subliminal denial has finally been allowed to surface front and center.
What I do notice most, however, is a sense of relief at having more time and energy to create. Here goes.
