Eternal Spring – Gardens in Watercolor
When: Through Nov. 10.
What: International artist Gary Bukovnik returns to bring his world-renowned floral watercolor artwork to the Weller Gallery. His not-so-still-life paintings express the movement of time and space as the flowers, leaves and stems appear to move on the paper. His work is reminiscent of Asian art and its luminescence.
