Exhibit: Henry McAlevy

It's very difficult not to smile back at this painting

Larry Paulsen noticed a similarity to the work of an earlier Chicago painter, Ahron Bohrud --  probably due to still lifes such as the above.



Henry monitors a figure drawing workshop and has often shown in our group shows, like the Gold Medal Exhibit.  This is his first  solo exhibit at the Palette and Chisel.

1001 Train Rides in Chicago

Perhaps you recognize the graphic style of this book cover -

it belongs to Leonid Osseny

who can often be found

in our drawing workshops

and who exhibits here regularly.

(perhaps you remember his scale model of Lenin's tomb)

I could tell a few train stories myself.

Once upon a time ---- 

someone sitting behind me on the Red Line

 set my long blond hair on fire!
