BID for ART! Asheville Art Museum Needs Your Support!

One year ago, the Asheville Art Museum reopened their newly renovated museum that cost $25,000,000 to complete. Then, as we all know, COVID happened. It has been a very tough year. Their annual fundraiser is going on NOW - and all the funds from the sale of this painting go directly to the museum (not me). Please follow this link now and BID; retail value is about $1000 while bidding starts at $400. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

"Monumental Oak" Now On Offer

Purchase this painting here: https://www.catherinetwomey.com/available/monumental-oak

When I hike up a trail approaching a bare area (bald) or rounded hill, I get such an expansive, peaceful feeling. Near my home is the Biltmore Estate which has grounds manicured back in the day (early 1900's) by the famous Frederick Olmsted. I go there often to hike and am often struck by these 100+ year old oaks at the top of the balds. They're so large their branches often hit the ground as they loom over me!

In this painting I was thinking about the cools and warms. This magnificent specimen was just getting a hint of autumn colors. The right side has a variety of purplish and blue/green colors. I was drawn to the brilliant warmth of the trunk as it was hit by the setting sun. Rather than paint in individual leaves, I massed the shapes to suggest their beauty but focused on the patterns of warmth playing against the cools throughout the painting.

This original oil is on stretched canvas with a poplar wood frame. It has painted edges of 1.5".
