BRUCE MCMILLAN
After a US career as a photo-illustrator of 45 children's books, seven set in Iceland, two of those with my painter friend, Gunnella, I began painting with watercolors. I live in Maine, am a signature member of the Vermont Watercolor Society (US), a member in Art Guild of the Kennebunks ME, US, and Plein Air Painters of Maine (US). I minored in art at the University of Maine, and took watercolor workshops with Susan Abbott, David Dewey, and Dewitt Hardy.
The voice of my young painter grandson is always in mind, "It's a painting; you can do anything."
