Bukowski Painting- Flower Lane 2005

William Bukowski

Flower Lane
30" X 40"
oil on linen    2005

This painting was done on location at the park in Mankato in the summer of 2005.  It was extremely hot that summer and it was a battle to withstand the heat and humidity of a Minnesota summer afternoon over a period of several weeks.  The temperature was routinely in the 90s, and I needed an umbrella to stay out of the sun.  I like it looking back, because it is one of my earliest works that show my current interests in masses of vegetation and growth rhythms.
