Snow on the Capitol Dome Holiday Card

One of the scenes that Congressman Joseph Pitts truly enjoys is the view of the beautiful dome of our United States Capitol building rising over the skyline. As he drives into Washington, D.C. each week for session, down South Capitol Street, it rises directly in front of him. At night it stands out in the darkness as it is lit up by spotlights against the dark sky and you see the birds and bats flitting through the air catching insects attracted to the light. In the wintertime, when heavy snow falls, covering the limbs of the trees and shrubs around the Capitol building, immediately after the snow fall, huge piles of fresh snow pile up around the dome on its base and its ledges before the wind has a chance to blow it off. It is a beautiful scene, so very few people get a chance to see. Thus Joe was inspired to complete this oil painting of this beautiful view of the Capitol. This card is customisable.
