Description
Chicago, Chicago, it's Mark's kind of town.....
Happy Happy Birthday to a long-time friend here on Rendo, a brilliant artist, and one of the kindest, most generous, and caring folks I've ever met!! I'm hoping someday we can actually meet in person.
May many more of these come your way, buddy! (me too...LOL).
I wanted to get something posted today, so I found a neat skyline shot of Chicago on Pexels free images, and did a bit of "magic" with some Apophysis and Photoshop. Hope your enjoy, Mark!
It's been a hellofa year so far, but we're hanging in there.. Take care!
Rod

Eric Clapton.
Awesome work!
The Blues Brothers remains the definitive Chicago movie.
Nice dedication Rod
Cool !
Fabulous view Rod! Really typical of America as I remember it. More importantly, how are you and Missus? Take care and stay safe!
She's making progress. She can now do some limited walking with her dad's walker. I'm still busy as hell.. 🤪
Wonderful tribute!
Fantastic city skyline, and great atmosphere. Cool!
I now have a craving to listen to Chicago. 1st quarter is almost up. I wonder what else is coming down the pipe.
Rod, I didn't expect a gift from you when you've been so involved in caring for Jo (which I know is a 24/7 thing)...and, knowing you, I know you're giving every bit of your soul to it, as I know Jo is giving every bit of her soul to gaining back her movement, her equilibrium, her health, etc. I know it takes a lot of time and patience for both of you, and I couldn't wish the 2 of you more strength in getting through it. I'm very grateful you posted this during such a time in your life...
This (in case you were dying to know) is the north view of downtown chicago: Downtown looms for blocks behind this facade. And I'd do anything to see a sky like this. Thank you so much for making this in the midst of all your commitments...Rod, you've been one of a handful of people here who've supported me and uplifted me consistently, and I'm truly grateful. As I said to Steve, your very kind words are not deserved---i'm an idiot a lot of the time!---but I'm very grateful for them. You spread such love and support here, I'm grateful to be among the many you've uplifted. And as always I'm very sorry for all you two have been through (it's not like everything was a bed of roses before Jo had her accident), and if I could wave a wand and make it all turn to blazing sunlight and joy, 24/7. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I hope things get better for both of you, and that Jo heals more with each day; and that the 2 of you can walk into a much easier life filled with sunlight and joy. You guys deserve it, and I'm very moved by all you've done.
Thank you for this, and for bothering to do it in the midst of everything in your life now. I wish Jo all the healing in the world, and much strength and peace to you as her caretaker (it's a really intense job, and 24/7); but as your previous image said (I loved that image), love is all over you two. You gotta know how great this is. I wish you both the best. (Oh, and thanks for your replies to my comments too.) Much healing and blessing to you and Jo: I pray this year turns out so much better than the last. Big loving hugs to you both! (and happy spring!) m
Great work and dedication! 👍🙋♂️
A wonderful presentation and dedi!
great skyline - wonderful song and Happy birthday ...
You made a beautiful dedication, so lovely all those colors between a special skyline of Chicago. I see all kinds of twinkling stars in the sky. And how original to include a song about Chicago.
Mark deserves all those stars sparkling in the sky. Just as I wish you and Jo, and of course our birthday friend, Mark, lots of sparkling and hopeful relief from worries. With a lot of respect and love, Jacomina. :)
MY kind of town, too. Lovely skyline and dedication. On a day wothout steel mill smoke I could see the skyline from the beach in the old neighborhood.
