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!
