Chicago Loop

In this piece, I've sought to capture the bustling vitality of city life, the swirling dance of light and shadow. Each brushstroke embodies the raw energy of the urban rhythm – the haunting amber glow against the encroaching dusk, the silhouettes bustling with life, and the stories written in the rain-soaked streets. It's a vivid, impressionistic celebration that will bring an ambiance of dynamism and warmth to any space.

Back in 2016, I took the photo which this painting was based on after work. It was a rainy evening, everyone couldn't wait to get back home. Somehow I was very excited about testing the new camera and didn't mind the rain at all. Specifically remembered the shutter speed set was 1/30 sec., you could see the different degrees of motion blur on the pedestrians and the CTA bus. The "L" train wasn't in the photo, but I really wanted it to be included in the painting so just had to imagine it. The original photo will be posted in the comment section for comparison.
