"Bubbly Creek" by Douglas Black

$750.00
Only 1 available

Oil Paint on Stretched Canvas

I am often moved by the resilience of the natural environment, it's ability to bounce back after our built environment overwhelms nature in catastrophic ways. This view of Bubbly Creek on Chicago's Southside is one I enjoy frequently as I take the Orange Line to The Loop. One hundred years ago this was a stinking ditch running through the infamous Stockyards, used to dump offal and rotting carcasses. The name Bubbly Creek derived from the methane bubbles which erupted from the muck and mire. It was Hell on Earth, but after a deliberate effort to restore the waterway to its natural state, it now supports wildlife - in concert with modern humanity. "Bubbly Creek" by Douglas Black.
