When Mary and I were last in Chicago, we stayed at the Renaissance overlooking the river, the Marina City Towers (known as the Corncobs), the IBM Plaza, the Trump Tower, the Wrigley Building and all sorts of points in between. If you have any fondness for Chicago or architecture—and I love both—it’s a marvelous view. We’ve got a lot of pieces from this visit, and a few from this 15th floor vista. This is one of them.
Titled Sicut Ante Lucem—“as before the light”—this scene began just before dawn, buildings and streets still lit for the receding night, with the light tinted mauve by an October sun through a hazy sky intruding on an inky midnight blue sky. This is a big image suitable for a large wall print. It will be available soon in both our Fine Art Gallery. Enjoy!
