Gums by the Condamine

Warwick is a central historic town on the banks of the Condamine River which runs through the Southern Downs region of Queensland. The river itself attracts magnificent gum trees to its banks where they are always assured of plenty of water. Being a tree lover a couldn’t resist painting a congregation of these gums growing on a bend in the river. The artwork is framed in a Pine floating frame ready to hand.

Bruce is a Brisbane based artist, who has painted since he was a teenager. Over the years he has embraced watercolour, oils and acrylics although these days uses mainly acrylic . Australian landscape, flora and fauna, seascapes, and lighthouses have always been favourite subjects of his. He loves to go camping and hiking, searching out new locations and taking time to explore these and enjoy the visual and other delights.
Since about 2018, he has particularly relished bringing these experiences to life through paint. Bruce enjoys painting some of the fine details but is most interested in conveying the whole and the impact of light, so sharing something of his own experience of the landscape. He uses a selection of light and expansive, sometimes bold brush strokes inviting you into his experience.
