Leaving Chicago:
Meditations On Leaving A Place
That Has Become Familiar
Artist's commentary:
I went to school in Chicago.
When I left, I had two great friends who were still in the Windy
City and I visited them once a year. It wasn't until they also
left town that I realized I hadn't really said goodbye to Chicago.
But when they left, there was no longer any reason for me to return,
at least on a regular basis. As a result, I had to say goodbye
to the jogging path along Lake Michigan and Midway Park, to the
Medici's spinach pizza and other favorite haunts, and to a way
of life that had grown familiar. The energy in the paintings didn't
surprise me,
but the joy and peace reflected in them did.
Mark Dahle's paintings hang in
collections around the United States, from Florida to Alaska.
