Power Center

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 30x24
The Sears Tower, now named the Willis Tower, had the name changed under terms of the 2 million dollar lease agreement between the building owners and a London-based insurance company. To most midwesterners it will still always be known as the Sears Tower. But money is power, and in this painting the power lines converge on Chicago ...a not so subtle visual aid as to the center of power. chicago at night canvas prints

(click on painting to enlarge)
This historic Chicago landmark first opened it's doors in 1921 and has thrilled visitors ever since. The last time I was there was for a performance of "Dirty Dancing", but the theater itself is the real show. See more landmark images; landmarks art
