Description

Springtime in Chicago was inspired by a photo I took of Chicago from a boat out of the lake. It is not a copy and some of the buildings may have changed since I took the original photo many years ago--before the Trump Tower was open to the public. I was there in the spring and was inspired by its life, the river going through the city, the bridges lifting for the sail boats, and the energy in general This painting I was hoping to capture the energy and the spring time mood more than the iconic city. It is hand painted with heavy oil dots with the motif of a flower to represent spring but all the buildings are recognizable.

This is a digital hand painting. The benefit of buying a digital painting is that when real canvas paint is shown on Fine Art America, it is only a photograph of the art, so its textures will be blobs and mellow shadows. When it is digital painting, you get the actual original digital image with its textures well pronounced.

Real oil art photographs printed on canvas have no textures; they are flattened out completely so you end up with flat art for both touch and look. With digital art the canvas print retains the textured look. Even when an art piece is digital crayon or chalk or pencil, and so no bulky textures, the crayon's oily slick, or the hardness or softness of the chalk or the scratchiness or smooth blending of pencil lines show exactly the same way on the print as on the original.

When ordering prints of art, you receive better quality prints from digital art than from photographs of real canvas or paper art!

Digital art is also safer to the artist and the buyer since oils release toxic fumes, particularly as the colors are mixed. The thinner is also toxic. There is nothing toxic about a digital painting. :) Enjoy!
