Chicago skyline #072Z
- John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center stands firmly at the center of this watercolor. In this watercolor I have chosen to include the famous “X” patterns from the exoskeleton which make the building so famous. The colors are many in this painting as I have included an array of earthen tones to compliment the landscape, water, and sky.
- Lake Shore Drive: Lake Shore Drive is at our feet and the motorway portion to the immediate right which is off of the picture plane of the work of art. The dramatic use of shadows of the trees along the drive make an interesting path along Lake Michigan.
- Delineation: The line work in this watercolor is all done with brush, there is no application of pen & ink employed here. I am most pleased with the execution of the exoskeleton of the John Hancock Center.
