Members of the North Georgia Sky Painters know each other’s style so well, each can tell the other’s work at a glance.
“It’s been a lot of fun,” founder Carol Hobbs says of the three-year-old group, which formed after she enticed several artist friends to paint canvases for display at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Chattanooga after another artist canceled. “We have our own unique style. We even have our favorite colors.”
Many of the six members also belong to other artist groups, but they have in common a love of capturing the sky.
“The sky is free to all,” Hobbs says. “It’s a piece of artwork above our heads. It’s always amazing. If you saw a picture or paintings [of some skies], it wouldn’t be believable, but it looks that way.”
