Painting of Chicago skyline by artist Joe Smigielski 202018x36 skyline March 2020.  Here it is complete.  Below are the stages of development.  The Wrigley Building (with clock) echoing the train Is one of my favorite parts.It is based on this drawing.

 

Taking shape.  

It’s starting to sing. It bugs not put a sun in, but there is no good spot for it.  A sky with no sun is like a portrait with out the eyes.  It bugs me.  I’ll probably add the sun anyway.
