The FOX Theatre

Detroit, MI

 Theatres have always been a fascination to me, because of all the decorated lights on the marquee.  I guess it reminds me of going to the carnival, with all the rides brightly lit up with various colors.  It makes it even more interesting when it had been raining, causing the reflections in the street and sidewalks.

I have been in several festivals in the downtown area of Detroit, including the Greek Festival.  I just had to have prints of the FOX in Detroit, so I took photos and painted it for the following year.  As always, I try to recreate the scenes as if it were in its early existence, such as 1929.

I love the old brick streets, the way they looked after a rain. It became an instant attention-getter.

Other Theatres I have painted are: The Palace in South Bend, IN; The Reese in Plymouth, IN; Atlanta’s Fox, Fox #2 in Atlanta; The Chicago Theatre; The Los Angeles Theatre; Loew’s Theatre in Jersey City, NJ, Warner Theatre, Elkhart and the Lerner Sign in Elkhart, Indiana.
