BRUCE GREEN
Bruce and his family live on a small ranch
in the historical community of Norse, near Clifton, Texas. The artist's
studio is on the edge of the hill out behind the house. From there,
large north windows offer Bruce a continuous view of the Texas Hill
Country, a few |
Hereford cows and the occasional whitetail
deer. "It is a wonderful blessing to be able to make a living for my
family, doing what I love in this beautiful place," says Greene. Several years ago, Bruce began making annual trips
to join in the spring work on the great, old JA Ranch in the Palo Duro Canyon of
north Texas. He says, "I go up there and stay on the chuck wagon with the JA
hands and the neighbors that have come to help. We ride a lot of miles in rough
country. It can be cold, hot, windy and wet. As a matter of fact, it can be all
of these in one day. A fella could get lost in some of the mesquite or cedar
thickets. Of course, we work a few cows on our place and help out a neighbor now
and then, but the JA trip has been a real inspiration for me each year. I am
absolutely sure that this experience has greatly affected my artwork. It seems
necessary, to me, in order to depict the contemporary cowboy with accuracy and
feeling. My good friend, Red Steagall, calls it 'getting the dust in your nose.'
For me, that dust makes the difference."
Greene was elected to membership in the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America in
1993 and is currently serving as its President.
The artist is represented by galleries in New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado
and Texas. His work is represented in several annual shows and exhibitions
including the Cowboy Artists of America Exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum,
Phoenix, Arizona; the Prix de West at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage
Museum, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; the Masters of American West Fine Art
Exhibition and Sale at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Glendale,
California; and at the Round Up Miniature Show at the Cowboy Artists of America
Museum in Kerrville, Texas.
