Mark did five paintings as a way to say goodbye to Chicago, where he went to school. You can see the other paintings in the series in the Leaving Chicago wing of our internet museum.

 
 Paul Joseph Walkowski writes:
   Here, in the world of the abstract, I have carved out a niche that interests me. The niche is color – textured, nuanced, moody colors. Think Willem de Kooning’s 1958 work Suburb in Havana, or A Tree in Naples; or Mark Rothko’s Three Triangles. On a more contemporary vein, you might consider Landfield’s For William Blake or Mark Dahle’s stunning Autumn Leaves Series.
  This is a painting from the series Two Hands: Painting Inspired By Mother Teresa. See the story of the paintings and other paintings in the Two Hands series.

 
 One of the most famous stories of creation is found in the opening pages of the Bible. The abstract paintings in this exhibit are related to that story. See four paintings in the Creation series.
