Bukowski Painting- Brushstroke Bouquet

William Bukowski     detail     Garden in Full Sun

The garden series has been essential for me to paint in these past four years.  I drove into Sibley Park in the summer of 2004 and pulled over in front of the garden almost as if it were scripted in a movie.  I got out of the car and set up my easel and for the past four years, have painted nothing else.

This detail is one that is in progress.  Because I love the full garden of mid-July, it is painted from a digital print with the memory of the experience playing a part.  Nothing beats a brushstroke bouquet.
