Chicago Snowstorm 2

absolutely perfect--really nice.

Such a well composed scene. Excellently, flawlessly composed, even without its focal point. ** Such a majestic and whimsical clock - a winged angel tops it, picked out in verdigris copper, as are the other accents and edges of the frames around the clock faces below which anchor each side of the rectangular extension as it projects from the corner of the building. Each face bears below it the helpful label and concise inscription "TIME". Truly a magnificent sculpture and time piece. Its angelic figure, which tops the work, holds aloft what appears to be an hour glass - but also looks somewhat like a lantern being as each half of it forms a shape so similar to the shapes of the streetlamps also nearby - their elegant, almost art nouveau feel, with each arm ending in an almost water drop or acorn like fixture of white frosted glass capped by the black metal of the rest of the post. The charcoal gray of the further building forms a gorgeous ground dividing two fourths of the "canvas" from rich beige of the far right fourth - that closer building's ornate scroll-work between windows and smooth exterior forming an excellent foil . . the windows thereof holding darkness and capturing bits of reflection - including a partial reflection of the clock outside. The windows of the charcoal gray building appear to be window seats of a hotel - each of about a dozen windows revealing the same woven curtains and ledge bracketed on both sides by two plump pillows as pops of solid color in teal blue and gold which fortuitously echo the colors of gold and verdigris copper of the clock extending from the corner of the opposite building. All en-wrapped in translucent blurs and sketch-like speckles of falling snow . .. . .

Fabulous, marvelously fabulous! Fantastic color and clarity, fantastic composition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, love, love!
