Coming and Going #58

  Coming and Going #58 is part of a series with same concept of the figure in motion.  These figures are crossing the street in Chicago in a late summer afternoon.  I usually use photos from the summer because of the sunlight and the figure wearing just  shirt and pants.  Any other time of the year and the figures would be wearing long black coats.

Reader #27 (large)

  Reader #27 (large)  is a large painting (24 x 30) based on a smaller painting done last year.  The figure in this painting was taking a lunch break outside an office building in the loop.  I'm interested in how the figure relates to the background in my figurative works.  As in this case, the figure  is one and the same with the background.

Early Sunday Morning #5

  Early Sunday Morning #5 is part of a series named after the well-known Edward Hopper painting.  This view is looking west towards Michigan Avenue here in Chicago on Easter morning.   I choose this day in particular because there is less traffic than usual on the streets which gives it a deserted look.
