Keep the Motor Running

The LaSalle sedan idles in the alley as a mobster calls on a rival bootlegger.

Along with the rumble of thunder and flashes of lightening, it will soon be raining bullets.

Chicago Skyline at Sunset
I never tire of painting the Chicago skyline. The lights glitter and shine against a backdrop silhouette of towering buildings as the sun sets.

A Knight in Shining Armor
Our hero rides through a misty and magical forest on his way to rescue some damsel in distress. Today’s woman can take care of herself and doesn’t have to rely on some guy in a tin suit and the horse he rode in on.
