Chicago Skyline #059Z. Key elements of this work of art are as follows:
- John Hancock Center
- Black Pen & Ink
- Lake Michigan
- John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center is the highest element in the drawing and beautifully complimented by the Four Seasons Hotel and other adjacent office buildings. This view of the Chicago Skyline, with the two elegant clusters of skyscrapers, on the near north side, or Streeterville, gracefully compliments each other. Though the John Hancock Center is taller and more robust being in front of the Water Tower Place building, it’s tapered shape gives an elegant balance to the cluster of skyscrapers across Michigan Avenue.
- Black Pen & Ink: The black ink makes for a strong bold statement at this image of these towering skyscrapers deserve. I have given elegant lines to indicate the stratus nimbus clouds that pass over the cityscape.
- Lake Michigan: The undisputed queen of Chicago, Lake Michigan gently sets at the bottom of the drawing with her calm and undulating waves giving support to the titanic images that rest upon her.
