Water Tower at Night 9 x 15 Oil on Canvas $175 (unframed)


  The water tower is one of my favorite subjects in Chicago to paint. It offers both the challenge and the opportunity to paint it from different perspectives, seasons and emphasis. Here the lighting and the shift from light to dark draws attention to the column of the water tower. The light and dark contrast, especially on the tower adds a depth and draws the eye. The reflections on the ground tell the viewer it is after a rain, but the season remains unknown.
