About The Artwork
When my children were young, we would take the train up to Chicago for the weekend just before Christmas. There was something about walking down Michigan Avenue, all the lights and the people shopping that just set the mood for the holidays. Near the end of the " Magnificent Mile" walk was the Water Tower...all lite up, its golden limestone construction juxtaposed to the steel and glass of its neighbors. Then just across the side street was one of our favorite restaurants for a quick bite. To top it off it seemed that more times than not there would be a dusting of snow... perfect! The Chicago Water Tower is located at 806 North Michigan Avenue along the Magnificent Mile shopping district in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. The tower was constructed to house a large water pump, intended to draw water from Lake Michigan. Built in 1869, it is the second-oldest water tower in the United States, after the Louisville Water Tower in Louisville, Kentucky. The Chicago Water Tower now serves as a Chicago Office of Tourism art gallery known as the City Gallery in the Historic Water Tower. It features the work of local photographers and artists, and filmmakers. The tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Original artwork is pastel on a prepared hardboard panel.

'Life is a carnival' that is what my friend Jeff has always told me... and I'm starting to believe him! Between life and growing up right smack dab in the middle of ole Abraham Lincoln's stomping grounds, I have never had the shortage of ideas for artwork. 'Whimsical' is what I most often hear as a description of my work. I honestly don't know where it comes from...though I grew up on a farm where there was no shortage of work or discipline (if you know what I mean). Maybe that 'whimsy' comes out of there. Only God knows. All I know for sure is that I do what makes me happy. I was very fortunate to have been able to call the late George Colin a friend & neighbor for many years. George was an outsider artist that sold fantastic painted wooden creations from his yard, but it was his vividly colored pastels that were his claim to fame. George's use of bold shapes & colors captured my imagination early on and I have implemented that narrative into my work for many years.
