Chicago Skyline
Acrylic 20 x 16"
Chicago Skyline was painted after revisiting Chicago and staying with my niece and fiancé.
As you can see, it was not on the ground floor, enabling a view of the Sears Tower. The artist taught art briefly at the Junior High level and enjoys the challenges of perspective. It is an acrylic on canvas. The contrasts and bright colors make acrylic a good choice for the painting.

As I embarked on my artistic journey, shape and value emerged as my formidable tools of expression. However, my experience as a printmaker brought forth a revelation – the profound impact of color in painting. The strategic addition of additional plates of color breathes life into my artwork, imbuing it with depth and allure.
Exploring the intricacies of the grey scale within darkroom work awakened me to the power of contrast – a vital element that molds my artistic creations, defining shapes and instilling a sense of depth.
When embarking on a new piece, I draw inspiration from curated photo banks, seeking out captivating shapes and colors. During significant chapters of my life, I gravitate towards painting vibrant florals and captivating bouquets, a process that allows me to later transition seamlessly into landscapes or abstracts. While I hold abstracts in high regard, I am attuned to the preferences of my audience, often shaping my creations to align with their tastes.
Color harmony and value remain pivotal in my artistic approach. With a deliberate hand, I meticulously mix paints, shunning direct use from the tube. By incorporating compliments, greys, blacks, and whites, I fashion pleasing color combinations that resonate harmoniously. Building upon the initial application of gesso, I employ the palette knife technique to bestow additional depth upon the objects in my paintings, masterfully crafting both background and foreground dimensions. To captivate viewers, I ensure that the main subject garners intricate detail, enabling it to command attention and stand out from the canvas.
While I humbly acknowledge that my art often garners favor through its visual appeal, it refrains from making overt political statements. Instead, my intention lies in creating a sense of harmony, offering artwork that effortlessly integrates into gallery spaces, homes, or office environments, eliciting a warm and inviting atmosphere.
