Doing research for my equine series. Meet Apollo, a 19 year old bundle of joy to ride. No, we don't jump - just enjoying each other. I love paints. #painting #oilpainting #painting #oils #walk #trot #canter #twomey #catherinetwomey #flow #contemporary #award #awardwinning #woolworthwalk #art

Plein air painted at the Hillside site in Hot Springs, NC. In the 1800's, the land up the mountainside was farmed; just remnants remain now. A gorgeous fall day. Oil, 9 X 12" on panel. #painting #painting #oils #nature #catherinetwomey #artcommission #impressionism #preservingapicturesqueamerica

“Haven” is a 12 x 12” pigment on Aquabord. I grew up in farm country & I’ve just moved to a place where I can see the sky, smell the hay & ride again. This is home. #aquabord #watercolorpigments #ampersandaquabord #farmland #cathernetwomey1 #landscapepaintings #artistonbluesky #art #artist

A year ago rain & Hurricane Helene hit. Weeks without power, 54 days with no running water, great loss of life and livelihood. Today is a day of reflection and gratitude for making it through. #hurricanehelene #ashevillestrong #heleneflooding #catherinetwomey1 #hurricaneflooding #heleneasheville

"Neopolitan"; pigments on Aquabord. Transparent Qor watercolors allowed to interact and spread. Also called a Contemporary Fresco as the pigment joins to the clay surface and allows for infinite possibilities. #artist #sketch #aquabord #ampersandaquabord #artisticsoul #catherinetwomey1 #artlover

Bleak House Barn - a plantation in Earlysville VA, with the most elegant yet functional barn. The Bleak House was a historic 692-acre plantation, worked by slaves, that dated back to the 1700s. #artistonbluesky #art #barnart #barnspaintings #virginiabarns #barnseries #barnoilpaints #catherinetwomey1

Sassafras. Native Americans used infusions made from its root bark as a remedy to treat fevers, diarrhea, and rheumatism. It was also used to scent perfume and even as a flavoring for root beer. Photoshop. #art #artistonbluesky #blueskyartist #catherinetwomey #sassafras #plantpainting

Painted plein air along the French Broad River, at Olivette in Asheville. The tree and the rocks spoke to each other, gently. Hurricane Helene may have destroyed this but nature will slowly fix it. #art #artistsonbluesky #artcommission #impressionism #woolworthwalk #soldartworks #frenchbroadriver

So grateful to the folks at Preserving A Picturesque America (saludastudios.com) for the sale of "French Broad Lean". This 9 X 12" oil was painted along the French Broad River in Asheville. It was the light and shadows on the tree that demanded my attention. #artistsonbluesky #art #blueskyartist
