concept development: cityscape Chicago

One of the motivations for working on abstracted foliage concepts this spring+summer is this concept I am developing for a Chicago cityscape. Foliage is foregrounded and the city is viewed back across the lake (based loosely on images/perspective from museum campus).

There are several ways to approach the abstracted water. I’m liking the simplicity of this graphic approach which combines glass + paint. Other ideas in the works.
