Hopkins Center Exhibition Opening

Garden Paintings by William Bukowski

Hopkins Center for the Arts, Hopkins, Minnesota.

Last night was the opening of this show in Hopkins. There were 3 other artists showing new work and a play going on in the theater, so there were a lot of interested viewers.

I called the show, "The Search for Paradise" because of the show in Waseca. The paradise metaphor works for these painting because it is a garden that is not easily identifiable with a specific place and there are no people in it to define fashion or time period. I like how the show is visible from the street and during the day has some beautiful natural light. If you are in the area, check it out. The show runs until February 21, 2010.
