Cityscape Art

This cityscape rendering is a pen & ink of downtown Chicago on Lake Michigan at sunset. Red, brown, and black inks are used to create this wonderful cityscape rendering. The sun is setting just behind Willis Tower so the red ink is strongest at that point. As you move to the right the red dissipates into brown to show the transition away from the sun. On the far right the ink is black to show the night sky coming in away from the sun light.
