My Kind of Town, Chicago

The Chicago River

The roof of a garden store in an old building in Highland Park.

One of the projects I will be working on will be photographing of peoples homes

and to make a memory book for generations to enjoy.

The back yard of one of these homes where a gazebo sits

 looking over a Ravine and Lake Michigan

View of a pier from above while landing in Chicago

An alternative view of one of the most beautiful streets in the world.

Some interesting views of one of the greatest cities.  I spent most of my life there and now I am a California girl and loving it.  But a large part of my heart will always be in Chicago and I will be spending more time there again, visiting my loving daughter and teaching painting and photography.   Here are just some random shots... I will be showing  you more over the next few days.

Run - Wedding Dress - Sex and the City

Was Carrie running to the wedding or away from mariage? See the movie Sex and The City to find out.
This painting was done on canvas with gold acrylic paint as the background - then everything else was painted in oil. I let the gold show thru which created a wonderful effect.  

20" x  10"

The Dress- wedding dress -party dress - how does it feel?

The dress seems to be the highlight of the event - be it the wedding or the first party dress.  It is always there from the time we are a little girl -- but it is not really the dress - it is the feelings that the dress evokes

 It was quite difficult to get the feel I wanted... and painted several times - which is very unlike me...

Santa Barbara Sunset- Palm Trees and Ocean, Oil Painting

Santa Barbara Sunset with the light of the sun coming thru the palm trees. Santa Barbara and Malibu are the only places on the California coast line that run east and west rather than North and South - therefore you have both a wonderful sunrise and an amazing sunset.

Pink Sky At Night- Pacific Coast Highway view at right after sunset

I took a mental note of this while driving down Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Barbara and Malibu - then once home I was able to paint it.

I love sailing and a sky like this would predict a great day of sailing.

Koi at Play by Diane Bronstein

This was done at a KOI Pond in Laguna Beach -- the fish are hard to paint since they are so active, So I take several photos and paint from them.

The painting is 8 1/4" x 11 1/2"
