The City of Chicago Through the Eyes of an Artist

 

 

I believe that every artist should take time out to explore and see other beautiful sights.  As for me, well, I’ve been away in Chicago all last week and I’m just now able to recover from my travels!  I took so many photos, a few of them I’ve posted here.  These are only three of 100+ photos I took of the beautiful city of Chicago.  It was my first time visiting and I was in awe of all the tall buildings and the architecture - absolutely stunning!  I don’t know what it is about tall buildings that catches my eye…perhaps it’s the linear lines. 

My first day there my friend Karyn and I visited the Art Institue of Chicago.  We probably only saw about ¼ of the museum before my feet started giving out.  The place is just way too big and there is soo much to see!  I was quite fascinated with the French art of the 1700’s because it seemed like the artists were either very perverted or women back then just felt that showing their breasts was the in thing to do. 

Anyways, I will be posting most of the pictures over at my Flickr album within the next few days…stay tuned!
