Marc Vitali: These are not the images of Chicago you’d see in a visitor’s guide.
Still, the odd corners the paintings depict are as much a part of the city as Navy Pier or the Museum campus.

He heads to the same location he’s worked at for months – a corner of the Van Buren Street bridge near Wacker Drive.
He sets up his easel. And gets to work on a highly detailed painting.
