Moxie in the Maples; Vermont

photo by Catherine Twomey
Moxie in the Maples, Vermont
That's my wonderful, spoiled dog Moxie in the lower left, galavanting through the turning maple leaves in Rochester, Vermont. Thinking of doing a painting of this, as I like how the shadows and slope appear. Every day brings a new round of color and peace.

"A Mood of Good" Sold

original oil painting by Catherine Twomey
"A Mood of Good" C. Twomey, oil on linen board
Painted this outside recently. The Vermont trees are starting to turn, with the reds first and some oranges starting to appear. It's just stunning. 

Saw a grey fox down the road today, happily eating apples in the road. There's a steady rain today but it's not bringing me down - it's a day to stay inside (after the dog walk) and get things done.

Thank you to the collector from Germany for your purchase. Much appreciated!

"Walk, Trot, Canter: The Horse's Gaits Revealed" on offer by C. Twomey

Here is the combination of three gaits on one piece of artwork in the series "Walk, Trot and Canter" that I recently completed while moving across the country from California to Vermont:

WTC: Walk, Trot, Canter - The Horse's Gaits Revealed by C. Twomey, 2016

Also included are the typical footfalls of the gaits, and each 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 a canter.

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



Thank you for your interest!

Thank you to the purchaser of these four mountain-inspired prints. I am extremely grateful for your support. On a day when I am so stuffed up I can't hardly breathe and a cough keeps me up all night; well, this makes it all worth while.
