I'm Bruce and I like to make art. All kinds of art. Completely amateur with no formal training. I just do. I focus on watercolor and ink here - mixed media paintings. I do other kinds of art on my other profile.

I've discovered that it helps to have several acrylic paintings going at once. Unlike most of my watercolors, these aren't done in a day.

So often when I'm in the city I dream of the mountains.

I'm connected to gay culture in a different way. An uncommon way. A distinctive way.
That means, to me Perfume Genius is the most impressive artist in many many years.
Their show here in Denver shattered me.
I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

Went to New York. Cambria Hotel in Chelsea. Beautiful. People. Culture. History. Art. Future.
I started crying when the volunteer at the memorial told us what the White Roses meant.

City of Gold
Watercolor - 30x22 inches
This view of the Manhattan skyline at dusk - from Roosevelt Island - has been a bit of an obsession. I've tried numerous angles and lighting conditions. This is my largest and latest take.

My first test with acrylic paints. Bought a set of 6 Golden Heavy Body paints. I used them in my Sketchbook with a pallet knife.
I've got a lot to learn.
