I’ve been re-working my website portfolio to present galleries with higher resolution images. This has involved trying to relocate the original images that have been lost due to failed disks, computer transfers, etc. Fortunately I was able to find a large cache of original files stored online in a warehouse image library.

Other images I was able to restore from my Google Picasa and Facebook accounts. Some images that I consider critical to my oeuvre had to be upsampled, due to the originals remaining lost. Hopefully the results are not too illegible.

This particular image, from 1991, has long been one of my favorites. It was sold shortly after I finished it, and is part of the collection of artworks at Chicago Title, Inc. The former CEO there, Jeff Knudson was a longtime patron and friend, and was instrumental in establishing their collection. The painting was executed en plein air from atop the knoll at Gasworks Park.
