Cloudgate (aka “The Bean”)

This is one of my favorite paintings I have done, both for the complexity and illustrative style, as well as the subject matter. I just love visiting Cloudgate in Chicago — better known as “The Bean.” I had a lot of fun drawing all the different people, as well as attempting to get the reflection of the people, building and sky in the mirror of The Bean. This is one of my earlier paintings from 2021.

I was so honored when this painting was selected as part of an Exhibit at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago Illinois (I think in 2022). The painting now hangs in my sons apartment in Chicago, where it has “lived” since I took it back from the exhibit.

And adding a reminder that I sell prints and print greeting cards of all of my paintings (whether they have sold or not). Just visit my online shop! Cards start at $3.50; 5 x 7 matted prints are $15, and 8 x 10 matted prints are $20. Shipping not included.

Thanks for looking!
