Chicago Skyline #428A
The Skyline
This dramatic skyline of the Chicago, Illinois, skyline brings out the rich warm fall tones. The trees that can be seen at sunset during the summer and fall seasons. The waters of Lake Michigan make a wonderful glow to the image of the clouds and the deep reds, blues, and yellow that permeate the painting.
The last rays of the sun can be seen reflecting in the waters of Lake Michigan before dusk. Because dusk is the very last phase of sunset the darkness of the sky is at hand. You can see here at the right side of the rendering the deep blues coming in casting the evening upon the city. The strokes for the darkness are larger broader ones to convey the mass of the evening sky. In a way it is mysterious for it leaves you to wonder what is to come.
The beauty in the painting is the glowing yellow sunset which illuminates the skyline. This wonderful glow is captivating and makes you want to keep focused on it. Just above the yellow are purple tones that blend right into the deep blue evening sky. Because of the glow of the yellow setting sun, it is reflected in the waters of Lake Michigan. Because of the impending darkness there is a sense of tension that is most notable in the far right side of the horizon. Therefore, the intensity of the yellow rays vanishing on the horizon lessen the strain.
Because sunsets are among the most popular genre of landscapes, I have been doing them. Therefore, I have also done sunset and evening pen & ink drawings as well.
