Early Sunday Morning #5

I titled this series Early Sunday Morning after the well-known Edward Hopper painting.  The idea was to do paintings based on how the city looked early in the morning before the people and traffic took over.   The city has a different look and feel at this time.

Railroad #1

Railroad #1 depicts the railroad tracks under the bridge on Roosevelt Road here in Chicago.  I've done a few railroad scenes maybe three or four altogether this year.  The long diagonals of the tracks contrast with the vertical shape of the buildings and makes a good design.

Reader #45

I continually try to find a way to make all my paintings look loose and fresh.  And in the meantime, if I can make the process go faster, even better.  This particular painting is a student who goes to college downtown.  She is catching up on her reading before she went to class.
