Reflections to Rapids- Rockpool, Mt Barney

I’ve always loved rock pools and creeks since swimming in them as a boy. These days it’s more visual. It’s about the light, the reflections, the rocks, and the water movement. Several years ago I climbed Mt Barney, QLD. It was an awesome climb but I discovered the rock pools on the return to base. For me, these were even more awesome and beautiful.

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.
