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.
