PASTELS BY BRUCE TRENTHAM

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PLEIN AIR ARTIST
Welcome to my Gallery

I love to paint on location using pastels.  I am  painting a pastel piece at the Santa Rosa Island.

Bruce is a new member of B.A.A.  and was the Best of Show winner in our fall show, 2005.  He dramatically conveys his love of the ocean and its environs in his pastel paintings.  Primarily a plein air painter of the Southern California coastal area, he strives to develop a composition that invites the viewer to experience light, color and form.
Early training in mediums such as oils, acrylics, ceramics and printmaking led him to realize his passion for pastels.   He has educated himself in the complexities of the medium and with inherent ability skillfully communicates his love for color in his paintings.

Bruce will be our February demonstrator, and is showing his work in his gallery in black and white.
