Catherine Twomey Contributes to a PAPA PBS Documentary

As a member of Preserving A Picturesque America (https://preservationthroughart.org/) yesterday I joined three other plein air painters at the Biltmore Estate on the Wisteria Terrace. As we painted we were filmed and then interviewed about our work and PAPA for an upcoming PBS Documentary. It was a most spectacular day, fortunately, and although I have almost no memory of what I said in the interview, I hope I did PAPA proud - I know they make me proud.

Painting, getting filmed and interviewed for a PBS documentary this morning at Biltmore. Four plein air painters for Preserving a Picturesque America hard at work.

The wisteria that captured my heart and eye; along with Mt. Pisgah.

Almost finished, always one more thing to do....9 X 12" oil on Artefex canvas over aluminum panel with Michael Harding oils.

"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.
