Chicago Skyline Sunset Watercolor #2317. Key elements of this work of art are as follows.

Sunset
Lake Michigan
Delineation

Sunset: The yellow sun light gracefully compliments the violet tone in the higher atmosphere. The flow of light wraps around the John Hancock Center and recedes quietly into the lake on the far right side.
Lake Michigan: The orange and blue tones from the lights of the city fill Lake Michigan. The sun is never reflected in the water only the city lights.
Delineation: The line work has been carefully rendered so as not to be too sharp, rather, I desired a more muted tone so that the evening night light gently blends the buildings together. Deep and strong lines with detailed hatching would take away all the affects of soft evening light.
