My new, entirely great nephew, his portrait finished. His mom thinks I captured his eyes. Can't wait to meet him in the spring! I rarely paint humans but I couldn't resist that face. #babyportrait #babypainting #greatnephew #humanbeing #aquabordpainting #catherinetwomey1 #art #artistonbsky

Fragment from a larger watercolor work in progress, two enormous cumulonimbus fill the horizon. Pigment on Kilimanjaro #140 paper. Finally well enough to paint again; thank goodness for antibiotics. #watercolorpainting #wip #Workinprogress #catherinetwomey1 #pigmentonpaper #art #artistonbsky

Grateful for the sale of the original "Fall On Earth" - drives me crazy how from my early practice, I have often spent forever on a piece, over thinking - then suddenly there's a breakthrough piece like this that was so easy, so free, so full of spontaneity. Always an artist, always tortured. #art

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

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
