Sailing Home Oil on board 8x 10 $130 unframed


  In Chicago there is a ritual that occurs during the sailing season-the bridges on the Chicago River raise one at a time to allow sailboats to return to their marinas. Consequently the boats congregate before each awaiting for it to open and then allow them to sail the several blocks to await the next. The photo here fails to capture the colors, but does afford the viewed the ability to appreciate a richness in color as well as the magenta underpainting that adds a warm underglow to the work.
