"Mediterrania" by C. Twomey
12” X 12” on canvas, professionally framed.
I am well aware that the United States is not at the center of the universe. This is my tribute to the European, African, Middle East and so on nations; all of us, together - not one superior to another.
My understanding is that fifty years ago, when the Apollo astronauts looked back at the earth from the moon, they were profoundly struck by the beauty of the tiny, fragile, blue planet earth. And so it was.
Whenever gazing at the stars and planets, I too am awed by the enormity and depth of the sky. I've heard some people feel anxiety when looking at the night sky; I'm the opposite. It brings pe
"Sea Leveling" A Siren Call
“Sea Leveling” 24 X 36”, archival Artefex Panel and Golden Pigments
I wonder what the moon things of our earthly pursuits? It’s easy to envision the moon’s view of the earth: beautiful, other-wordly, spinning. Look closer, however, and there are changes to see: the seas rising, shorelines changing, existential threats to life on earth. This is a siren call to look far beyond the gorgeous planet, understand what’s happening and then do something.
On Offer: "Accelerating", 30X30" on Archival Panel, Framed

What a year! I remember talking to my sis in February; wondering if we were going to have to cancel a trip to Scotland due to some strange virus. Well, we did, like everyone else. In the meantime, however, we learned to live with it and I painted and sold more paintings than I ever have - along the way finding that I'm pretty much a contemporary Impressionist-type painter. That alone was worth it! Thanks to everyone for your support, your kindness and here's to hoping 2021 is a banner year in so many ways.

"Nebula 2019" by C. Twomey
It's definitely fall now - we're going to get a frost tonight. In advance of fall, I hate the thought of it. The lower temperatures, the dark - but once it's actually fall, it's spectacular. The bugs are gone, the sky is an incredible cerulean blue - and the nights; so crisp.
This painting is about the nights. I can look up at the sky and sense the universe; the stars, the planets and the enormity of it all. This nebula, or an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases, hovers in the sky with the richest of colors and blues.
So fall is inevitable. I've learned to embrace it, and this is an example of that.
