Chicago Skyline Watercolor Sunset #1170. Key elements of this work of art are as follows.
- Sunset
- Burnham Harbor
- Lake Michigan
- Sunset: The sunset hold the theme of this gracious skyline watercolor. This time of day is very popular amongst all genre of paintings due to the large range of muted colors in the sky. The yellow nicely delineates the contour of the skyscrapers which are mirror by the waterfront of Burnham Harbor.
- Burnham Harbor: The front door of Chicago is none other than Burnham Harbor. This view of the city is the “defacto” image that all the world thinks of when Chicago comes to mind. The harbor in named after the great Chicago architect Daniel Burnham who designed many ground breaking building.
- Lake Michigan: The waterfront of Lake Michigan offers an added element of light. The water never, however, reflects the colors of the sky at sunset, it only reflects the city lights. When you look at this painting and all other waterfront sunsets the same will hold true.
