Description
"Just Around The River Bend" —Chicago Reflections Series
I captured my reference photos for this painting while enjoying an Architectural Boat Tour. This painting depicts the less familiar South Branch of the Chicago River–looking north. From this vantage point, the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) is seen towering above the surrounding skyline. Completed in 1990, the 311 South Wacker Building is located directly in front of the Willis Tower. River City is pictured prominently in the middle.
Just imagine the look of astonishment and wonder on the faces of early explorers to this region, if they were to paddle this river today!

Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks so much Donna! It's a shame that this beautiful part of the city is not visited nearly as much as the "Magnificent Mile" on North Michigan Avenue.

Like how this piece is worked with a POV not often seen of the Chicago skyline, pleasing digital work!;)
