About George J.D. Bruce:
Like strolling back in time, classically trained artist, George J.D. Bruce, is an erudite painter of the first degree, steeped in the traditional techniques of portraiture, landscape, and still life. George works in oils on modest-sized canvases and with an unassuming simplicity draws the viewer in to take pleasure in the arrangements of bright, cheerful bouquets and the play of shadows cast by folds of fabric. He applies paint with lush, confident strokes that reveal a sensitive eye for light and texture, while his sense of drama shines forth in breathtaking landscapes that feature sweeping rain clouds and awakening seas spurred by the oncoming storm.

Educated at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting, George is a thirty-nine year member of the venerable Royal Society of Portrait Painters in London, where he has taken up multiple leadership roles in the organization, including president. George J.D. Bruce lives in England and works from his studios located in London and in the countryside of Suffolk.
