Landscape 0620-01 View of Cal-Sag Channel in Worth, Chicago South Side Painting

Oil on canvas board. Worth Boat Launch Ramp at Calumet Sag Channel, Chicago South Side. Inspired by the plein air work of such artists as Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Giorgio Morandi, among others, with an easel in my car I drove around the area where I live -- Chicago’s South Side -- in search of motifs like those of my favorite artists. Soon I realized that I shouldn’t be looking for rolling hills with rocky cliffs and mountains. Modest suburban houses inserted into the Chicago grid street system, on the flat-as-a-table plain is what makes its look -- practical, cost effective. Generations of people with their families come and go in these bungalows, georgians, ranches, with their front lawns, backyards, garages, parks. The challenge is to find its unique flavour, its unique beauty. As Bologna’s scenes were dear to Morandi, so the Chicago area is to me.
