Here is the painting that was completed couple of weeks ago. Some details were missing from earlier photo that were added in the final session (cartographic details, the shoes, the Maltese Cross on the neck, flags etc.) - now it is complete. I am glad this long-awaited painting has materialized.

Table mess

2006-08-22T00:46:00.000-05:00

The past few times I was happy to print in complete solitude. The studio table was continuously occupied by my materials and the press was kept busy as I was going back and forth etching the plates. A couple of plates were thus finished. Here is one of them:

The Meeker House, corner of Barry & Lake Shore Dr., Chicago

2006-03-01T11:08:00.000-06:00

The latest finished etching of the Meeker House, formerly the home of the Society of Helpers of the Holy Souls, recently sold to a private buyer for development. It seems to be heading in the direction of a pricy condominium, thus my duty was to record this vestige of ecclesiastical Chicago. The etching was done in several states, the second, third and fourth are shown here. Each state was recorded in two proofs, and the final fourth shall be (inshallah) printed as a limited edition some time later this year. The plate size is 4.5" by 6".
