"Lilified 1.0" by Catherine Twomey
“Lilified 1.0” 6 X 6” custom framed, ready to hang. Oil on panel.
This richly detailed portrait of a home grown lily from my garden is 6" X 6", an oil. It is in a floating, custom frame that gives weight and additional beautiful to the original painting. There's something about these lilies that spells "summer" - can you imagine the insects flitting about; the sun's heat on your arms; the bright burst of yellow that lasts but one day? This is it. The frame is a stunning greenish-grey, with a copper inset that edges the painting panel. The frame's border is 3", making the painting about 14" X 14". It is backed, wired and ready to hang.
"Young Mountain Laurel" Sold, by Catherine Twomey
Thanks so much to the Virginia Beach purchaser of "Young Mountain Laurels," a 27" X 36" oil on panel piece. When I moved in five years ago I didn't know what this beautiful little plant/bush was (flatlander) but I guess I live in the mountains now!

The Last Hydrangea
Finishing up this oil of one of the last hydrangeas in the garden. It’s going to be 90 today, and everything is looking a bit tired and too hot (me too!). The garden colors are shifting to more subtlety, which is quite lovely and peaceful. May you stay cool, healthy and happy.
Work In Progress by Catherine Twomey - Pink Gladiolus!
Original oil painting in progress; this piece is 16” X 20” archival canvas on panel. It is such a joy to watch these glads spring from bulbs and gradually make their spectacular showing. I have now done reds, yellows and here are the pinks.
"Glad For Yellow" Gladiolus On Offer
The garden is abundant this summer and the gladiolus are no exception. The fluidity of the stem holds the foundation for the bright yellow blossoms. Light seeped over the flowers from behind; I was amazed by the difficulty of rendering the subtle shades of yellow against the magenta background. They only lasted about two days, but it was two days of painting frenzy to get this down. This original oil is 16" X 20" on a linen panel and is unframed.
