The Chicago Theatre,<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Downtown, Chicago, Illinois.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

There was a time when I started painting neon signs in the paintings, so while I was in Chicago, I couldn’t help but to photograph the Chicago Theatre. Little did I know at the time, the hit movie “Chicago”\u00a0would be released to the theatres within a year of when the painting was finished. The painting became the center of attention shortly thereafter. The movie came out in 2002 and has become one of my favorites, especially the music soundtrack.<\/p>\r\n

The Chicago theatre, was built in 1921 for 4 million dollars, which included ornate\u00a0architecture and beautiful murals above the stage and on the ceiling.\u00a0 The vertical “Chicago” sign outside measured six stories high.<\/p>\r\n

The theatre closed in 1985 and was saved from demolition and reopened in 1986 with a gala performance by Frank Sinatra.<\/p>\r\n

The Chicago, is one of several theatres I have painted from around the country. Other Theatres I have painted are: The Palace in South Bend, IN<\/a>; The Reese in Plymouth, IN<\/a>;\u00a0 Fox in Detroit<\/a>, Atlanta\u2019s Fox<\/a>, Fox #2 in Atlanta<\/a>; \u00a0The Los Angeles Theatre<\/a>; Loew\u2019s Theatre in Jersey City, NJ<\/a>, Warner Theatre, Elkhart<\/a> and the Lerner Sign in Elkhart, Indiana<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
