Reading #86

Reading #86 is part of a series illustrating the female figure reading in various poses and situations.  I find these subjects randomly while walking through Milenium park in the summer.  I've never hired models or had anyone pose for these images.  It gives it a more natural look.

Coming and Going #67

  Coming and Going #67 is part of a series focusing on the human figure.  Most of these paintings consist of multiple figures walking on a city street.  I focus on the negative space between the figures instead of the details  of the figures themselves.  This street scene is downtown Chicago on a late summer afternoon.

NYNY#25

  NYNY #25 is part of a series of works focusing on the cityscapes of New York City.  These buildings were located near 12th and 41st.  I spotted this scene early on a Sunday morning last spring.  By leaving out most of the details, I was able to keep the focus on the cast shadow that runs down the side of the building.

Tin Mill

  Tin Mill is part of a series of paintings that focus on the human figure engaging in hard, manual labor.  This scene is a laborer working in a tin mill dating around the 1920's.  These historic images remind us of a time when we used to make things here in the US. The design of this painting puts the figure in a "bow and arrow" shape.  A "flex" that gives the feeling that something is about to happen.

Wabash #8

  Wabash #8 is part of a series of paintings named after Wabash Avenue here in Chicago.  The street has a unique look with the train tracks above and the sunlit buildings in the distant background. The shadow on the street creates a diagonal which reaches back creating depth. The yellow- orange building above the bus reminds the viewer that it's still paint on a surface.
