When the pandemic gets me down, these are the moments I turn to - Plein air painting in Yosemite about five years ago. Hiked up to that ledge where there were still snow remnants in June. That slope was so steep that one slip or dropped brush was over the side with a 100 or 200' drop. Worth it tho - look at Yosemite Falls back there! Thinking of California burning and overheated today and hoping when this misery ends, we will save the earth. It's worth it.

"Full Moon, December" by Catherine Twomey
Winter is advancing. The sun sets earlier by minutes, every day. Something extraordinary happens to the sky, however. It seems clearer, crisper, more beautiful then any other time of year. It's energizing. I want to let the paint have a mind of it's own, with a little help from me. I want to capture the contrasts and clarity. Tomorrow, December 12, the full moon of December, called the Full Cold Moon, will arrive overnight tonight just after midnight eastern time, and as it rises it will be joined in the sky by the planets Venus and Saturn, which will be close together after reaching a conjunction on Dec. 11. This painting is unframed. It is on archival RayMar linen panel and is of the highest quality. Acrylics were used, along with inks and flow medium. It is a luminous, 8 X 10" original painting.

"Catawba Falls, Upper" by C. Twomey
I hiked the Catawba Falls Trail east of Asheville, trekking through a mossy, shady forest valley to a beautiful series of waterfalls on the Catawba River.
The headwaters of the Catawba River are beautifully scenic. Just east of Asheville, the river tumbles through a rolling forest, cascading in a series of waterfalls and flowing over a mossy riverbed set in a shady, scenic stretch of the Pisgah National Forest. I explored waterfall after waterfall in a sun-dappled valley, hiking just over two miles through a shady forest to the seeping wall of vibrant green moss and tendrils of water known as Catawba Falls.
