I was having trouble downloading my photos so I am a bit behind.  I will catch up.....I got a card reader and that will work.

This is a scene of Chicago...the Tribune building is to the right...

I currently have an exhibit at the South Shore Atrium Gallery, at the center for the visual and performing arts, 1040 Ridge Road, Munster, In. I have 29 paintings of Chicago.  The artist reception is March 6 from 2-5.  The show is up till March 23. If you live locally...check it out.

This is the south side of Chicago and is a very familiar scene.  I can't imagine having to walk up all of those stairs.

Girl with Orange Dress

watercolor

My girlfriend, MaryKay, who is also my student, saw this woman in Chicago.  Each day she wore an orange dress with blue shoes.  Then she would carry something in her hands.  Once I believe it was a box, then another day a plate with something on it, one day a brick. She would just walk around downtown Chicago in this same orange dress and blue shoes.  It turns out, after my friend approached and asked to talk with her that this was a class project and as she was walking, she was meditating about the item that she had in her hand.  It was a mystery for a few days.....This is actually River Walk in Chicago.

No Football Today-Soldier's Field, Chicago

Bet you wondered what had happened to me that I didn't post for a while....Well, I was busy putting up Christmas decorations. I have trees in every room and I finally got them all up last night. I missed not being able to paint. But it is looking a bit festive in my house now.

This is a painting as you go into the city of Chicago. Soldier's field is the stadium where the Chicago Bears football team play. It is really a neat shaped building.

Well back to decorating for me....
