This article is about Chicago skyline #066Z Sunset Watercolor Painting #2455, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This is my watercolor painting of the Chicago, Illinois, skyline viewed from Burnham Harbor at sunset.

Chicago Skyline Sunset Watercolor Painting #2455. Key elements of the work of art are as follows.

  • Sunset
  • Burnham Harbor
  • Lake Michigan
  1. Sunset: The setting sun is the glory of this work of art. I have accurately intensified the sun’s glowing aura just behind Willis Tower. Immediately after this aura the clouds hover over the Loop and give resistance to the sun and thus let the balance of the sky fall into a lilac light.
  2. Burnham Harbor: The scene is from the most popular view of Chicago, and that is none other than Burnham Harbor, named after the famous architect Daniel Burnham.
  3. Lake Michigan: Lake Michigan is the “red carpet” of Chicago, and she graciously sets out her best to offer a colorful evening sky.
