Bukowski Painting- Reviewing the past...


William Bukowski
Artist's Tabletop 2001
36" X 48"
oil on linen

This is a painting that summarized what I had been working on for many years. It is my tabletop motif with as much clutter and symbolic objects as I could fit on a table. It was part of a series of red still lifes that were based on the colors of Roman frescos. It was really challenging to concentrate on so many objects and make them fit in a readable space. I put the still lifes on hold while I worked on the garden series and haven't looked back yet.
