Bukowski Painting- Early in the Sibley series

William Bukowski
Sibley with Purple Flowers
oil on linen   2005

I was pressing to get going on this painting and it was early in the series.  The flowers don't really come out until mid-July and this was in late June.  I like the handling of the paint and the way the viewer is invited into the painting.  For some reason I have developed a real affinity for mornings, summer, sun light and would prefer peak flowers.  I don't mean to be so limiting, but I enjoy these conditions working from life.
