Chicago Painted by a Texan aka Moon over Chicago 3 ft by 4 ft HUGE A Painting a Day in celebration of Tom's 50th Birthday! !!!!Happy Birthday!!!! W ell for the past three years I have promised Tom a painting for his den. I wasn't very swift with carry through on this one, but since he is celebrating the big 50 this weekend, and all his brothers and sisters are in from CHICAGO to Dallas.... I did the deed this week! I was figuring a mere nicely sized 24 x 36 inch painting, but Tom wanted 3 ft by 4 ft. This is on the tail end of another commission piece that went to Arizona that is 3 ft by 4 ft....no wonder my back and shoulders hurt. I had to crank the easel down to accomodate these huge canvas. This painting was fun as I studied the photos I had of the Chicago skyline. The stretched gallery canvas is a tougher surface than the night landscapes I have been doing on Masonite, but I hung in there and pushed the paint to the limit trying to keep my colors from being muddy...
