I'm always inspired by the beauty and energy of cities. Each on is different and can be represented by diffent music, movements, forms and colours. For this small of Chicago, I wanted to capture the magic of the city at night in the rain. Whenever I visit, I am particularly drawn to the unique architecture of Chicago. It is renowned for its stunning skyscrapers and iconic buildings. I love it when it rains.

There is a romance one can have walking downtown in the rain. I used a combination of blues and yellows, and metallic paints added a touch of shimmer and sparkle; the glittering lights reflecting off the wet pavement. I also added little hints of pink to the painting. This hint of color helps to lighten the mood, added a playful element and adds a reminder that there is always a silver lining.
