Bruce is actually Bruce #2. He lives in my husband's home office and swims happily around all day in his lovely aquarium. The first Bruce wasn't as colorful and flashy as this Bruce. When I was thinking ahead to painting class submissions I thought Bruce would be an interesting subject and something that would appeal to a wide variety of painters. It was very challenging to come up with a way to teach him in the time constraints of a classroom setting. The first painting steps are negative painting with a few washes of color to get him started. This is what I taught at the SDP conference in Daytona in May and then again to my chapter this last Saturday. So there are lots of Bruce paintings swimming around now!
