"Liquid Gladiolus 2.0" Auction, C. Twomey

I'm in a new home in Asheville, NC, and this spring and summer has been a revelation. There are things popping up in the garden I don't even know the name of. However, I recognized the gladiolus immediately, and have been painting them ever since. They're fading now as the coneflowers and daylillies emerge, but the reds lasted long enough for another go-around.

Please click HERE to take part in the auction. This original oil in 8 X 10" on archival linen board, ready to frame.

"Mountain Laurel Rhododendrons Spring Gala" Auction!

Please click HERE to bid!


oil painting by Twomey
"Mountain Laurel Rhododendrons Spring Gala" 6 X 8" by C. Twomey
Enlargement

From the garden this spring. Painted live, these mountain laurels and rhododendrons were having a gala event of blues, pinks and greens. The painting is 6 X 8" on archival linen board, unframed.

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 (that's me with Rosie the thoroughbred, left). 

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. 

As a Board Certified Medical Illustrator, I have had the privilege to know and learn directly from some of the most extraordinarily talented, smart and influential visionaries living today.

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

Spring is irresistible. The light, warming, buds, birds - all for the taking. So I took.

I'm painting real things from my real life. This practice slows me down, is calming, creative and allows time to absorb the beauty in the world. Dog walks everyday put me in contact with places and things I wouldn't ordinarily pay much attention to, which is a very good thing. I'm selling my work on eBay because it's a trusted place for transactions like this, and because it offers everyone an equal opportunity to purchase my work.

Ending Soon!


eBay Auction of this original plein air painting:


oil by C. Twomey
"Rhododendron Wild, 5.9.17" C. Twomey, 5 X 7", archival linen board

Sample of how painting could look when framed.


Early spring, my garden. The wild, glorious rhododendron plant by the front door. Rich, fluid, with a main flower reaching for the sun, others behind it doing the same. Painted plein air on archival linen board, unframed. You won't believe the pinks against the greens, with all the freshness of the season.

Roses and Pulitzers

Finally able to get back to some painting - it's been far too long. Sat in the backyard yesterday and painted this freshly picked rose:


Twomey oil painting
Apricot Rose Sunday

Which, amazingly, has already been sold (the painting, not the flower.....).

And, because I'm extremely proud of my family, there's this:

For the first time in its 170 year history, the Associated Press has been awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Public Service. Congratulations to my sister-in-law Kathleen Carroll and the team of journalists, all of who happen to be women, for their life-changing investigation of severe labor abuses tied to the supply of seafood to American supermarkets and restaurants. Their reporting freed 2,000 slaves, brought perpetrators to justice and inspired reforms. Proud to know you!


PULITZER.ORG

Yep, that's my sister-in-law, Kathleen Carroll and her team of investigative reporters that have won the Pulitzer today. The series of articles is breath taking; see them here.

Wish my mom was around to enjoy this!
