This is a 16x24 in. acrylic painting I did at the end of summer of the Chicago Theatre and surrounding State St. in downtown Chicago. It was a wedding gift for my cousin; she wanted a painting of the city. The Chicago Theatre seemed like a good subject, being a major landmark.
I took the reference photos myself after class, but had to work around the fact that the 87-year-old theatre is currently under some exterior restoration and covered with scaffolding. Thankfully, there is minimal street activity during midday- everyone is at work. I'd hate to paint all those cars T_T.
Also, please try to ignore the shadow that the frame is casting on the canvas .
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
