New Horse/Equine Prints Offered "The Horse's Trot Revealed"

Here is the second in the series of "Walk, Trot and Canter" that I recently completed while moving across the country from California to Vermont:

"The Trot: The Horse's Trot Revealed" by C. Twomey, assorted sizes

This shows a forward trot and an accurate skeleton, including correct positioning of the poll. It includes the typical footfalls of a trot and has a symbolic reference to the evenness and symmetry of the gait.

For years I have been studying and drawing horses out of a love for their beauty, intelligence and grace. I recently completed a series of Walk, Trot and Canter, which are offered individually and combined. Having a strong art and medical background, my goal was to combine the aesthetics of the gait along with the most accurate interpretation of the skeleton I could find. It was very interesting to find errors in classical references, and correct them here. My great admiration for the style and clarity of Leonardo daVinci's work is reflected in my chosen style. I wanted to convey the lightness, collection and beauty of what it is to ride.

Please visit Here Saatchi to view all of the gaits: walk, trot, and canter. In addition, the canter and trot are currently being offered right Here Fine Art America.

New Horse/Equine Prints Offered During Transition

Having moved across the country from California to Vermont, it seemed time to get back to art making and creating. I am in the process of deciding exactly where in this wonderful country to set up shop.

Taylor Jug With Pear; Twomey; Alla Prima Oil

Taylor Jug With Pear, C. Twomey, 2015

Just sold a print (link HERE) of this oil painting, and thank you to the collector. I've started a collection of these jugs, which are so wonderfully shaped and aged. Going to continue the series me thinks. 

Oil on linen board, framed and under acrylic. 

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:

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!

The Pulitzer Prizes

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!

Amaryllis Spring 2016 by Twomey

Amaryllis Spring 2016

The blooming of spring amaryllis promoted this oil. 

This plant arrived as a bulb from my wonderful sister-in-law Kathleen. After a few weeks of watering, here is the gift, and what a stunner it is. Sometimes I mean to paint something in muted colors, but how could I given this?
