Artist Bruce Griffiths admits watercolour is a passion. A passion that takes hold of each & every one who takes up the challenge, and we are hooked for all time. We band of brothers.
Still working by the modem, paint where you have been, interpret the facts and paint what you feel. A lifetime of fishing and the bush has instilled a love of the outdoors, the mood and atmosphere of the sea and his beloved country landscapes which is the preferred subject of his paintings, but he is also guilty of venturing into still life, portraits & detail studies. He is inspired by the view, the look, the feel, the passion that stops you in your tracks or simply warms you with memories of the past. Stop, look & listen to the story as art talks to those who listen.

A watercolour artist in a mostly traditional style and largely self-taught since picking up a brush in 2002. Bruce honours his workshop educations & pays tribute to the guidance in the use of colour in watercolour in the hands of world renowned Australian based artists Robert Wade, Robert Lovett, Greg Allen, David Taylor & Joseph Zbukvic – a very rich heritage to widen your horizons. It simply opened my eyes to what was possible.”
Bruce admits there is art in the blood. “My father was a wonderful drawer of characters although he never published professionally. All my family is creative; musicians, dressmakers or artists of some kind. I was a late bloomer and now there is never enough time to paint. Every day in every way, I am trying to loosen the bounds and see with an artist’s eye; to tell my history, one painting at a time.”
Bruce has works in Highfield’s Met Gallery, Tweed Ultima, Watling Art Services and enjoys local competition and exhibitions. Bruce is a prize winning artist & exhibitor from Hervey Bay North, Murwillumbah South and west to Warwick & Stanthorpe.
