This composition is from a memorial to fallen firefighters of the city of Chicago. There is a series of bronzed sculptures placed between Lake Michigan and McCormick Place. In this painting Lake Michigan is in the background. This was all done with brush, the underpainting is in a magenta acrylic-one can see the glow-as a highlight on the boulder, around the fireman's cap and the boots. Steps from this boulder the names of fallen firefighters dating back to the mid 1800's are etched in bricks as a permanent reminder of those who died fighting fires in Chicago.
