Michigan Avenue Bridge 8 x10 Oil on Canvas

 This is the second in the series of three of the Chicago River. Here the scene is looking southwest towards the south end of the Michigan Avenue Bridge over the river. There is a moodiness in the air. In the painting the cooler colors predominate. But this is contrasted with the warmer green in the water and the closer bridge tender and nearest building. The painting was done utilizing both brush and knife with a simplified palette.

Odgen Slip 8x 10 oil on canvas

  This is one of a series of the Chicago River (and environs). Here a tour boat has left the dock at Odgen Slip and is heading out to the Chicago River for a tour. The limited palette used here was also the same as the next two in the series. Here the palette knife added texture and depth to the canvas

Have been having a problem with the photos of the paintings for the past 5-6 weeks. Have still been painting but the postings are way behind-hope to have the glitch fixed soon and then will be posting a large number of pieces over the next month or so.
