Eight members of the North Georgia Sky Painters are exhibiting at the Colonnade in Ringgold, Ga. through Oct. 3. Their show, “Cloudscapes,” showcases paintings that depict the beauty, drama and magnificence of the sky at various times of the day.
The organization was established about 18 months ago after Carol Hobbs saw a sky painting at the Hunter Museum of American Art’s Spectrum auction/fundraiser. She was so inspired by the artwork that she asked several of her friends to join her in a workshop that focused on filling large canvases with images of the sky.
The subject matter appealed so much to the other artists that they formed the North Georgia Sky Painters.
Members Sandra Babb and B.J. Wright work in an impressionist style, while Betty Hamilton is an expressionist painter inspired by Oskar Kokoschka.
Janice Kennedy, formerly a watercolorist, has chosen oils and acrylics as her preferred medium to depict details and drama.
