Chicago River Oil Painting Giclee Print - 18x14in Chicago Art Print buying

***As seen on CBS's "The Good Wife" (2011-12) and in the Chicago Tribune (12/11/11).***

This huge 48x36" painting depicts Upper Wacker Drive and the Chicago River in the late afternoon. It is a scene from the Purple Line CTA when the lights have just come on, yet there is still daylight - a beautiful time of day to appreciate the skyscrapers and famous architecture.

Some of the buildings included in this view are the RR Donnelley Building, the Leo Burnett Building, Hotel 71, Marina City, and the former Traffic Court Building.

The painting is titled "Green River" for two reasons: first because Wacker Drive is kind of the Wall Street of Chicago, and buying secondly because we ceremoniously die the river green on St. Patrick's Day.

The original painting was on display at the Skokie Public Library and is an award winner.

I normally frame my sample 18x14" prints in a standard 24x18" frame with custom mat in a color that best complements the art (in case khaki and rust are nice). Your neighborhood Hobby Lobby or Michaels can do this for you and they both carry this size frame if you don't want to go to a specialty framer. Typically, they will leave 1/4" around the top and sides and 3/4" on the bottom.

You can also order this with a mat pre-cut to fit a 24x18" frame in soft greyish beige as shown.

"Green River" is now available as a 18x14" giclee print. Giclée printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints on paper or canvas. The term "giclée" (pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY") is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclée prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto your choice of fine art substrates.

Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, giclée prints have undergone extensive third party fade testing. While the predicted display life depends on many variables, giclée prints made with wide-gamut pigmented inks are estimated to last over 80 years without noticeable fade.

High grade, smooth finish paper is used for prints, picking up all the detail of the original canvas. Only 100 are produced in this series. Each paper print is signed by me in pencil in the lower left-hand corner with title in middle and edition number in the right. My limited edition prints are imaged and printed by Osio Brown Editions.
