Bruce’s painting Night House is on view now in the National Small Oil Painting Exhibition at The Wichita Center for the Arts. This juried exhibition, which is held biannually, is open though October 24, 2010. According to the press release, the exhibition was established in 1981 to stimulate interest and promote excellence in the medium of oil painting.
In Night House Bruce imagines a slice of a neighborhood at night, with its interplay of light and shadow and a chimney on the main house suggesting the human life within. In addition to applying the oil paint, he removed it selectively by incising it with a palette knife, adding dimension to the picture.
