July and August in Atlanta is just so hot you want to stay in and paint Christmas scenes!  Maybe I will start on my Christmas Card soon!  Summertime also brings Thunderstorms which I love to paint. This new painting is "Steeples in the Storm" is an example of beautiful skys during the storms. And the Steeples of this 1800's church are still standing tall.  I actually took this photo in Columbus GA of the steeples on a clear blue sky day.  I had also taken the sky photo last year.  I wanted to portray the steeples with the stormy sky. Of course, this changed my light source and I had to change the whole idea!! Sometimes when you change the light source, you must adjust the subject matter to represent this. I do like the finished project but will try in the future to capture the subject AND the weather to be the same! 

"Girl Talk and Martini's

Oil on Canvas

After ignoring my blog (mostly) because of Face Book I have decided to return and blog about my Art and Painting.  After too many years to count I have "semi" retired from the music industry.  At least retiring from gigging every weekend.  Now nearing the great ole age of 62 I can concentrate more on Painting, my Passion!  I did just finish this painting of one of the last gigs.  Krissa and I were going on for our first show and we had bought matching dresses. We took this picture with my camera and it just stuck me that here we were two girls just talking over Martini's.  Actually, we both drink Scotch but the martini glasses looked better in a painting!  This is a 20 x 24 Oil on Canvas and I will have glichee's and prints available soon.
