Landscape for Godard

Landscape for Godard

3 canvases oil on linen

(in progress)

Just for fun, I did a three panel landscape and decided to follow a famous quote by Jean-Luc Godard, "a story should have a beginning, middle and end, but not necessarily in that order". I did each panel separately from the same image. When I came closer to finishing the work, I put the panels together out of the normal order and the results were kind of interesting. It still needs the final touches and framing but the patterns and space that result reinforce a kind of abstraction (tame by cubist standards).

I have a new website: bukowskipainting.com

This photo is the header for the website but due to auto-editing you don't get the whole picture. Dave Norris took this shot in my office at Bethany Lutheran College for an upcoming issue of the Bethany Report. I like the image because there are some nice details that add more to the story. It also shows my office and the collection of junk that keeps me inspired. The website is a stripped down model based on templates and in house design formulas, but it is super easy to update and change. I hope to use it for more to feature my newest collection of available paintings.
