Fine artist, animal lover, hiker.
Thank you to Woolworth Walk for the sale of this original oil painting, done plein air at the NC Arboretum. This 8 X 10" was painted just after Hurricane Helene. #pleinairpainting #pleinair #ncarboretum #autumntrees #oilonpanel #catherinetwomey1 #woolworthwalk #art #artistonbsky

Here's an early stage painting of my new great (he sure is great) nephew, a little over one month old. There is so much bad and negative in the world today, but this 'lil fella brings light and joy wherever he goes. Unless you're on diaper duty. Happy holidays everyone! #babyart #artistonbksy #art

"Red and Blue" such a gorgeous pony, with a kindness that I wish more humans had. Sensitive, gentle and with such an old soul for such a young girl. Ampersand Aquabord, soon to be available at Dog and Pony Show Gallery in Asheville. #art #equineart #artistonbluesky #ponyportrait #dogandponyshow

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

"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
