8" x 10". oil on linen.Continuing along the pub crawl, you'll arrive at Burke's Web Pub, where if it's nice outside, you can sit at the old picnic table and admire the view of the Kennedy Expressway, or if it's not so nice, you can go inside and sit at the giant wooden bar and check out the dart game that's probably happening or simply admire the random collection of stuff, like the plastic spider web on the wall. While you're drinking your Old Style, you're liable to get into a jukebox battle with someone playing way too much AC/DC or Big & Rich, but that's easy to tune out to watch the Cubs. Same friendly locals. Unfortunately or fortunately Burke's is open into the wee hours.

This is great. I am so glad you chose to put the building in the center as the composition works so well!
Hi Leslie, Thanks, yes, I wanted to experiment a bit with a different type of perspective in this one, one that would draw the viewer right in.
Great tour - I too like the doorway right in the center.
Hi Beverly, Thanks for joining the tour!
Karen, I love this "crawl" idea. You have made each building show its personality. What a lucky hubby you have! But then again he did give you that wonderful piece of lumber! Cheers!
I am so jealous..I may have to move.
Pub crawl is a fantastic series idea. I love your art!
This is so dramatic. I think that's from the way you captured the light of this day. Can't wait to see how you paint this as a night-scene.
Hi Loriann, Ha! you remember the lumber, how funny. Yeah I guess the gifts around here can be somewhat unusual (although I still do like sparkly things too) :)
Hi Kathleen, It's a good place to move! Do you have any of these in your mid-western town?
Hi Casey, Thanks for coming by! I have been over to your blog also (by way of Loriann's) and admired it a lot. I appreciate your comment!
Hi Sue, All right, night scene it is! But you have to park your car there again.
