Water Tower and 7Up Truck

an “Early Bernie” watercolor = 25% discount

MARTHA MARKS COMMENTS ON BERNARD MARKS ENCHANTING “WATER TOWER AND 7UP TRUCK”:

In “Water Tower and 7Up truck,” what you see is exactly what you get.

The building is Chicago’s historic Water Tower. The local people are doing what local people tend to do. The truck tells us what it is. The Yellow Cab is probably waiting for a fare. It’s a classic downtown scene.

Over the three decades (1969-2002) that we lived in Chicago’s northern ‘burbs, Bernie painted many plein air watercolors “live and on site” downtown. He almost always attracted a crowd, which never bothered him. I might shop for an hour, and when I came back I could tell where he was by the throng of people around him.

Bernie made most of these paintings along or near Lake Michigan and Michigan Ave in downtown Chicago. He sold most of them at local art fairs. The rest quickly sold through a gallery in Santa Fe after we moved there in 2002.

As a result, I have none of the original “Early Bernies” from Chicago and only the few digital photos listed below, which are good enough to reproduce as prints.

These come with our “Little Gems” custom-cut mat special offer: “Horse Carriage in Chicago #1,” “Horse Carriage in Chicago #2,” and “Horse Carriage in Chicago #3”

These come with our “Early Bernie” 25% discount: “Oak Street Beach,” “Water Tower in Chicago,” and “Water Tower and 7Up Truck.”

Excellent custom-made giclée prints on thick matte archival paper are available.
