“Meeting Place”
8 x 10” oil on masonite
I wanted to do something
special here - a little bigger too.
It being my busy time at work,
these little, daily paintings will
have to resume after Christmas,
but I promise to get back to a
normal pace of doing four or
five a week.
I chose this scene in memory
of my dad. You see, he worked
in the “Bob Newhart Building”,
as we called it, next to the
Wrigley Building (that area of
white on the left).
Occasionally, I’d go downtown
during the week, and my dad
and I would meet for lunch or a
walk back to the train station
together. I think of that meeting
place every time I cross that
bridge over the Chicago River.
In memory of my dad, the proceeds for this painting will be donated to Our Lady of
Perpetual Help Home, here in Atlanta. The Sisters took great care of my dad in his last
weeks and I’m forever grateful. In addition, I’ll match the winning bid. I appreciate your
input very much.
