Near South Side


  Near South Side is part of a series to do with urban landscapes.  The contrast of snow and steel always interests me.  That combination can easily be found in Chicago.  Also, I've always admired the George Bellows snow scenes.

Maxwell Street

  Maxwell Street is part of a series focusing on urban landscapes.  In Chicago, Maxwell Street was known to be a place where you could buy anything from a pair of socks to a Polish hot dog.  The scene no longer exists and looks totally different now.

Slow Period Coffee Shop


 Slow Period Coffee Shop is part of a series that covers the scenes found in diners, bars, and restaurants.  In the winter, when it gets dark around 4 or 5 o'clock, the inside of coffee shops attracts your attention.  Also, the crowds are very sparse leaving workers with much time on their hands.

Pedestrians in Snow


  Pedestrians in Snow depicts pedestrians in their struggle to commute back and forth to work.  The commuter in unfavorable weather conditions always fascinated me.  I guess from growing up in a rural area where everyone drove to work.

The Sunny Side

  The Sunny Side is part of a series of urban landscape works.  I haven't done urban works in quite a while and do miss it.  In these landscapes the more banal, the better.  I like to think these paintings  are about nothing at all.   I avoid historic landmarks as a rule.
