"Wrigley"
Chicago
My son Jeff is a
dyed-in-the-wool Cub's fan. He has been asking me to do this painting for
a long time. A year ago, Jeff came out of the orthodontist's office with
his new braces. He had chosen red and blue rubber bands which attach the
metal bands to his teeth. I said "Oh, how patriotic! Red, white teeth and
blue.. nice Jeff!" He replied "Duh Mom...Cubs!" I decided it was time to
start this painting.
Special thanks go to my son Jeff (age
14), Zach Anderson (age 17) and Nathaniel Gier (age 12), for their
expertise and research help. I could not have completed many of the
details involved in this painting without the help of these expert Wrigley
and Cubs' afficionados. They have all been included in the painting along
with their families.
Included in this painting: "Ball
hawks" waiting to catch an out-of-the-ballpark homerun on Waveland Avenue,
fans enjoying the view from rooftops, Wrigleyville Fire Station and Engine
#78, the "El" train, a plane taking off from O'Hare, an open fire hydrant
with children playing in the water as the firemen watch, Ashland Avenue
with the TORCO sign, many cheering fans, some with "K" signs, the "EAMUS
CATULI" rooftop sign and fans, the "Bleacher Bum Band" is playing next to
Harry Caray's statue, Santa is in the bleachers enjoying the game
too....ETC.

"Old Capitol"
Iowa City, Iowa
The Old Capitol is the center of life
and activity at the University of Iowa. Built in 1840, it acted as the
State of Iowa capital until Iowa's government was moved to Des Moines in
1857, and the Old Capitol was given to the University of Iowa. Built of
Devonian limestone quarried from the Iowa River in North Liberty, along
with native Iowa oak, the Old Capitol is also a beautiful monument.
In this painting: the annual Easter
egg hunt, dogs and their friends playing Frisbee, a proud family taking a
photograph with their new Iowa graduate, picnickers, students heading to
class, joggers, tuba players representing the annual December outdoor tuba
concert, and Tom and I are sitting on the steps on our first date.
