Bukowski Painting- First of the Series

William Bukowski
oil on linen 30" X 40"

Backyard Garden 2004

Every day when I drove past this yard I thought it would make an interesting painting. It was on my way to work so I drove past it several times a day. Finally I stopped the car and asked the people who lived there if I could stand in the road and paint their backyard. So I painted this from life and was surprised how many times the lady who did the gardening moved potted plants to regulate the amount of sun. After doing this backyard garden I went looking for more gardens to paint and came across the Sibley Park garden and have been there ever since.
