Painting in the Snow in "Hot-Lanta!" Looksie!













Can you believe it? How lucky am I to be spending a snowy Sunday at home painting in my sun room with windows all around me, and all I can see is SNOW! Yes, this is Atlanta! It has been snowing ALL DAY! It has been several years since we have seen snow come down like this. It is so pretty! I had to take some pictures and show you. I also took some pictures from my perspective as I paint in my studio. Wouldn't you just love it? It was so peaceful today. It looked like the trees had their branches stretched way out as if they were begging for more! I could even imagine little tongues sticking out as they tilted this way and that way, trying to catch every snowflake. It was an amazing show!

Atlanta has started to become more of a tropical area with Georgia being a more tropical state. But today, it felt like the old days. It was more like North Georgia, and more beautiful than I can describe. I can remember the days when I would walk to school in the morning and I could feel the ice crunch under my little feet. It was always like this the first month of school. I can even remember going back to school shopping and buying sweaters, coats, long pants and tights. It was always so much fun. Going back to school shopping always meant winter would be coming, and we might get snow that particular year. It was something to look forward to because it meant a day out of school when we needed it the most. The timing always seemed to be perfect.

Please enjoy looking at my pictures, and the not so much progress being made to the dance painting. I took a break this weekend to go and see two different plays I had friends in. They were wonderful! Now I am ready to start a new week and get back to work.

Tonight I am going to add the OAOE Team tag to most of my work on Etsy. Hopefully it will help unify us as a team. We are the Original Artists on Etsy Team. I updated my shop bio as well. The front page of my store should read a little differnent now.

Have a great week, and thanks again.

  1. Wow how beautiful! Hope you got to stay home today! I live up in Woodstock (just north of Atlant) and all I saw was a few wet flakes. Nothing on the ground. Bummer

  7. Beautiful shots. I couldn't believe all the snow. In fact, there is still some snow in the shade where I live.
