A Painting of a Thousand Words...

It has been said that a picture is to be worth a thousand words. Certainly, if that is true, then a painting made by hand, with a thousand strokes, is worth at least that many words, if not more. Nothing could be truer when viewing a Water Color painting by Bruce Shea. His art is a beautiful infusion of nostalgia and color which provokes a realization of just how fleeting the moments of splendor are in our lives.

Gathering his inspiration from such sources as daily life on Montreal's Lakeshore Drive, Yacht Clubs, Flower Gardens, Restaurants, and ordinary People enjoying Recreation in the back drop of Old Quebec Architecture, his paintings bring a sense of joy and happiness to any home they are brought into. At this very moment, Bruce Shea’s artwork adorns the walls of many beautiful homes to which they bring light and warmth while blending seamlessly with the decors that people make for themselves.

Completely self-taught and motivated, Bruce learned to paint early in his life; a hobby which has stuck with him throughout his years. A lifetime of painting has sculpted this artist into a skilful practitioner of the highest caliber. His dry brush technique boldly captures the essence of what he is painting, freezing that moment for everyone to see. Bruce’s love for his artwork shines through in each painting that he creates. Whatever he paints, he elevates to the fantastic.

For years, Bruce worked in Acrylic paint making reproductions of famous paintings for which he was commissioned. Although these paintings where beautiful, they lacked some of the creativity that he was looking for. He now works exclusively in watercolor paintings made from his 100% Original photography. Each picture is picked from countless photographs that are taken for different areas of Montreal. Because of this, each one is a beautiful unique piece of artwork which you will not find anywhere else. When you have one of his painting’s in your home, you can rest assured that you have something rare and now exclusively yours.

Fascinated with graphics design, Bruce spent year’s studying illustration and web design. He helped in the designing of many Logos &Web Sites Banner Ads. In his return to his artwork, he now brings you this web-gallery that showcases his painting’s in a media combining his talents and interests.

Enriching every subject with the passion of awe and humbleness, he paints in an impressionistic style which demonstrates his skill as a true colorist. Whether you are looking for a painting for your home or office, for a kitchen or bedroom, for a hall or for above a fireplace mantel, Bruce Shea has a beautiful picture you will love and cherish throughout the years.
