Celebration City From The City At Night Series

"Celebration City"

There's something exciting going on in this city. It's a celebration! You can feel it in the air. You can see it in the hustle and bustle. This print celebrates the city and the thrill and pleasure of being in the midst of it all.

This artwork is a bold and wild departure from my normal style of painting city scenes. In the original I used gobs of glorious color to add texture to the surface in order to create a dynamic impression of the Chicago skyline.

I had the most fun painting the sky with it's almost confetti-like feel. I was most concerned about the reflection of the skyline in Lake Michigan because I wasn't exactly sure how to represent it given how loose the painting of buildings are, but I'm excited by how it turned out. When I look at it I can almost feel the energy of the painting jumping off the canvas!

What is your experience of looking at it? What does it do to you?
